The sink is by the door. Was this a brothel at one time?
Lyn S.

I am so thrilled we were able to get a room here! I wanted "unique" and we found it, here, in the center of town. The environment is totally authentic Westward Movement with a hint of 1900s European Emigree chic. The bed was comfy. The tub/shower was fantastic- great water pressure! The security was sound. Everything was very clean. The price was not crazy. This was just perfect. Take the opportunity to get a bottle of wine from Uncorked Truckee (a block away), and sit on the 2nd floor balcony. A perfect way to end an evening!

Wow! Absolutely perfect! This hotel is perfect for a quick getaway. We stayed in room 319, I was a little nervous about "shared" bathroom but we had our own with the room number on the door and it locked. Simply put it's just not in your room no big. I was there on a Friday and Saturday and did NOT hear the noise everyone was talking about or expecting? This location is walking distance to all the restaurants and action. We walked to their famous Cottonwood Restaurant and back. In my opinion you don't need a car when you stay, there are free busses that take you to Donner Lake and all over. The rooms and bathrooms were spotless, the free coffee and snack area were awesome. There is no TV in the room but there is one in the "TV" room as well as a cool balcony to drink your coffee The front desk has an easy text communication and there is a code to get in the hotel. I WILL be coming back. Thank you Friendly,Rustic, and History infused Truckee Hotel my stay was awesome!

We had the most amazing time at the truckee hotel!!! First off, I really appreciate check in, they give you a door code and your key is waiting on the counter! Everything is decorated western style and it seems like a lot of the wall print and stairs are authentic! Our room was cozy perfect for two, lovely bathroom and shower! There is a common area with some games and dvds to watch a movie also there is a place to get coffee and sit out on a porch area with chairs overlooking downtown truckee!!

This place is trashy. For $180 a night I could find a better tent to sleep in. Not as pictured on their site. Shared bathroom?! With strangers stuff everywhere. The room smelled, the food was over priced. $33 for pasta with no protein. We don't have a bathroom, TV, fridge, coffee machine, no closet, dresser or desk to put out stuff on. Not sure hot this is listed as a hotel and not a hostel.

1. Webcam so your friends can watch you doing your best James Dean under the sign at the gas station across the street in real time. 2. 59 clams for a room. 3. Trains trains and more trains all night long to inhabit your sleep and make your dreams of Carnagie and Ayn Rand. 4. A bar on the first floor with conversations of the fair and circuses. Very tasty vittles too. 5. Remodel coming! 6. Real time webcam. 7. Webcam.

My boyfriend, our friend and I decided to take a spontaneous trip to Tahoe so we decided to make our way to stay in Truckee. Being unfamiliar to the whole area, staying at the truckee hotel made us feel so welcomed. The man who helped us at the front was super friendly and sweet which made a great first impression. Pros: Continental breakfast, lounge area on the second floor, nice little patio area to chill at, comfortable beds, friendly service Cons: Bathrooms we're located outside of the hotel rooms, not a lot of parking There are live bands that do play at night time, and also trains that occasionally pass by, but that didn't bother us much. The hotel is next to a restaurant and across I believe there is a bar. But aside from that, I would definitely come back and stay here again! Thank you Truckee for a wonderful experience.

See all

We enjoyed our stay at the Hampton Inn. We needed a place that was conveniently located near Soda…read moreSprings for a good value and we came across Hampton Inn. We arrived shortly after check-in time on a Wednesday and were able to get our keys without too much trouble, although the lady that was checking us in didn't seem too suited for customer service - she gave off sarcastic, "I don't want to be here" vibes. Our room itself was cozy, clean, and comfortable. Some of the items could have been better stocked before our stay, such as the tissues - I think we only had a few of them in the box so quickly ran out and had to request housekeeping bring more the next day. Housekeeping isn't done daily so you do have to request it manually if you need anything. There were a couple of water stains on the ceiling but nothing too major. All toiletries like shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, lotion, and hand soap are provided and the quality is actually pretty decent. I was very impressed with the complimentary breakfast included in your stay. You have hot items like eggs, potatoes, and sausage as well as cereal, muffins, bread, oatmeal, and a waffle maker. The hot items rotate, too, so you don't have the exact same breakfast each day of your stay. Staff was friendly, and the common area was very comfortable with a fair amount of seating. I believe coffee is also available all day. There was a power outage during our stay that lasted around 6-7 hours but luckily it happened in the middle of the night so most people probably didn't even realize it and it didn't impact our stay at all. I just happened to notice when I woke up in the middle of the night and noticed lights not turning on and some electronics not working.

This was a great stay in Truckee!…read more Appreciated the great service at the counter and easy check in. Breakfast is included like all Hampton Inns and is fine for a bite before the snow. I will definitely stay here again, only thing they don't have is products besides the basic shampoo/conditioner/body wash.... I like having some extra toiletries but not a huge deal.

Our room was cozy, super clean, and had everything we needed. The hotel is literally across the tracks from the train station but there were no night trains.

We will definitely stay here again!

We arrived very late due to a 9 hour train delay. Emma stayed in contact with me starting the day before our trip. Although we did not anticipate the delay, Emma gave us clear directions on what to do if we arrived late. We let ourselves in, but due to it being so late didn't get to see much. The next day we hopped on a TART bus and frolicked around town while stopping by the room a few times for sock changes as we happened to vacation after a very substantial snow fall. The hotel rooms are very modern and cute, but you still get that antique charm. There was a coffee and tea bar, a vending machine, and snacks provided in the lobby. It was very easy from booking the room to checking out. We enjoyed reading about the history of the Hotel that was provided in a directory/info booklet in the room! We stayed in room 8a. Overall we loved this place and is we are ever back in Truckee we know where we are staying!

Should read 4.5 stars but I'm rounding up!…read more We had the most amazing ski vacation at the Ritz Carlton. We spent 4 nights here and did not leave the property except to ski 3 whole days. Here's my notes: ***Seriously ski-in ski-out: The hotel is located on a ski run, so we literally traded our shoes for our boots at the mountain concierge and then grabbed our skis/poles from the concierge outside and started skiing down the mountain to our desired lift. No need to hop on a slow gondola or walk a distance to get to the snow. ***Some fun hotel perks: The hotel does a smores thing at 4:30 pm every day and we thought it was a very nice event. They gave everyone a plate with a graham cracker and piece of chocolate, then your choice of marshmallow (they had strawberry and regular). They also gave us a cup of hot chocolate with a little liquor if you were so inclined. They also had Kids events and we had our little guy paint a pinecone. He had a great time with the very nice guy running it and who knew painting a pinecone could be so fun? ***The restaurants: While we had high hopes for going out to Truckee to check out some cool restaurants, we were so tired from skiing at the end of each day, we never made it out. We loved the food at the Lobby Bar (I think it's called the Living Room) and their new taco restaurant which is called Montesa. Both are expensive (for example, get ready to pay $11-13 for a taco) but we really liked the food at both places. We also ate at Manzanita which is the high end restaurant and the service was amazing plus our little guy LOVED their kids buffet. We on the other hand thought the food was just okay and I don't think we would do this again. So why 4.5 stars and not 5 stars? ***Communication could be improved. We asked directions to the Smores event and a staff member told us it was at the Backyard restaurant and it's not there. In addition, because we pushed out our trip by a day due to the weather, we lost the room upgrade we had secured. It was not the Ritz Carton's fault that we lost this, but there were a couple places where we told the Ritz what was happening with us and they could have told us that they could not guarantee our upgrade. ***Service times at the Lobby Bar restaurant were extremely slow. There was one night where we waited for our food for at least an hour and a half. We will be back!

We booked a family stay at the Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe for myself, my wife, and our six-year-old…read moreson. A few days before our trip, our son was diagnosed and tested positive for RSV. I called and asked for a reservation modification given the circumstances, and I was completely open to alternative solutions: a date modification, Marriott Bonvoy points to rebook on our own, a refund, or anything reasonable. We just wanted some flexibility. What followed was the usual runaround. We called the Ritz-Carlton directly, they told us they couldn't help because we booked through American Express. So we called Amex, whose concierge team was empathetic and professional. They reached out to the Ritz-Carlton on our behalf. After waiting 24 hours and following up, we were told that Ritz-Carlton management responded via email and declined to allow modifications to the reservation and still expect us at the property unless we pay a $750 cancellation fee. We presented a positive diagnosis of a contagious virus, were willing to accept any reasonable accommodation; a date change, points, anything, and the answer was no. This raises a serious concern beyond our personal frustration. If the Ritz-Carlton would rather a family show up carrying a contagious virus than accommodate a date change, what does that say about their commitment to the health and safety of their guests and staff? How many other sick guests have they pressured to check in rather than lose a night's revenue? What about employees who may face the same inflexibility when they're ill? For a brand that markets itself as the gold standard of hospitality, this experience seems like the opposite.

This review is long overdue but here I am…read more When we got there we met the receptionist, who was able to accommodate us when we called in for an early check-in. She doesn't smile too much, but is helpful and efficient. The whole lodge smelled clean and fresh, just like Truckee fresh air. Our room was spacious and clean and the view of the pine trees was amazing. The linens were clean and soft. Bed is comfy. The bathroom is also spic and span, however the body wash was not refilled. But we really didn't mind because we brought our own. I give the housekeepers a score of 11 stars! The place is clean, even the elevator! The dietary staff were amazing too! Breakfast was yummy! Pancake/waffle batter is fluffy and was dispensed on a little cup for an exact amount you need for the maker. This lodge offer free coffee all day, yum! And also has a water fountain for your water bottle refulls close to the entrance. This lodge also sits beside a coffee shop, if you choose something fancier. Overall, I love this lodge and for the price that includes free breakfast, we'll definitely be back.

Impossible to reach management / Predatory policies…read more Extremely disappointed in the management at Truckee Donner Lodge. I spent an entire week trying to resolve a travel issue caused by extreme weather and highway closures. The front desk repeatedly claimed the manager was 'unavailable' and refused to help with an Expedia modification, despite the hotel being unreachable due to the storm. They are hiding behind 'non-refundable' fine print to profit off of families who are stuck behind road closures. There are many other lodges in Truckee that actually care about their guests and understand mountain logistics--stay elsewhere.
