“Good location, clean, and functional”

Reviewed 8 April 2013

We just returned from an overnight stay at the Truckee Donner Lodge. This is actually the old Holiday Inn Express. It is very conveniently located right off I-80, and is 2 exits West of the main Truckee shopping / restaurant area. The hotel is clean and functional, with a decent breakfast (bagels, eggs, cereal, etc...standard Economy hotel fare) and complementary... More

“Convenient location”

Reviewed 17 March 2013

This lodge is conveniently located near Tahoe Donner Downhill Ski area. The lodge isn’t really what I think of when I think of a lodge. It’s more like a 3 star hotel. The lodge does not have a restaurant or a bar but they do serve breakfast in the morning and the selection is pretty good, they had eggs and... More

“Great place for the family on a long-weekend ski trip”

Reviewed 11 March 2013

My wife and our three small children stayed here in March 2013 for the first time and I'm sure we'll be back in the future. Nice staff, clean room, good breakfast service, and a comfortable "lobby/lounge" area. Only took 15 minutes to ski in Tahoe City and less than 15 to get up to Donner Ski Ranch. Overall it was...

“Great price, easy location.”

Reviewed 10 February 2013

Plus: We stay here regularly with our two young kids. Clean, easy, fair price and very easy access to resorts. Free breakfast and hottub/pool (summer) a plus. Minus: Its been a 50/50 chance they did not have the reservation we made on-line (even with confirmation), but there always seems to be availability. Fox news running continuously in the lobby.

Dear Bill M, Thank you for staying with us. We truly appreciate you selecting our Lodge when visiting Truckee. Not sure why there is an issue with the online reservation system, but rest assured that I will be following up with our IT people to fix that problem. Thank you again and we look forward to seeing you soon. More

Large comfortable nicely furnished rooms with microwave and refrigerator, hot tub, hot breakfast, friendly helpful front desk staff - All you could need and a convenient location for skiers.

We always try to stay at this lodge when we go skiing at Sugarbowl. It's right at the exit by I80 when the weather condition is bad, but the back road is even faster when it's open.

“Quality and most convenient.”

Reviewed 3 January 2013

Just a few minutes from downtown Truckee's shops and restaurants and much easier to Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows than a Tahoe City stay would be. They recently did a major renovation and now the rooms are a very handsome alpine design. Great value.

Dear 1KeeneTraveler, Thank you for your review on Trip Advisor. As you mentioned we are close to everything including walking trails right outside our lodge. We are glad you like the renovation. During these winter months, the fireplace is among the busiest in the hotel. We hope to see you again soon. More
