Truckee Donner Lodge is a conveniently located hotel near Donner Lake and the town of Truckee, offering a comfortable stay with free breakfast included. Guests appreciated the clean rooms and nice interior, with some enjoying the king room accommodations. The hotel features amenities like a pool and hot tub, which some guests looked forward to relaxing in, but were disappointed to find the pool was often broken or closed during their stay. The hot tub was only warm, and the pool was sometimes a bit chilly, which affected the overall experience. Breakfast received mixed reviews; the pancake machine was popular, especially with children, but the coffee machines were frequently broken, leaving guests to resort to instant coffee or nearby cafes. The location is ideal for dinner and lakes area visits, with free parking available. Guests also enjoyed the library and games, despite some missing pieces. However, customer service was a concern, as some guests experienced unfulfilled promises for discounts and difficulty reaching management. Overall, while the hotel offers a good location and clean rooms, issues with pool maintenance, broken appliances, and inconsistent service affected the stay for several visitors.
This is a nice hotel. Location is nice & easy to get to everything. Price was great. Rooms where good & continental breakfast was a nice touch. Building is a little dated but that's part of the charm of Truckee. Would go here again if we're in the area.
