We picked this location because of it's location which was close to several things nearby that we wanted to do. Was very impressed with how the lodge looked when we entered. Was very nicely decorated. We had no problems checking in and the lady that checked us in was very friendly. We asked a few questions about where something was... More

I stayed here for one night with my wife and 3-year-old daughter. We stayed in a King-sized bedroom, which was clean and comfortable. It's right next to a state park and so the area is pretty quiet. Check-in was a breeze and the staff were super friendly. Breakfast is included, but let me assure you it isn't great. Powdered eggs... More

We are here now....a large king room, overlooking the neighbouring Donner Forest. The location is just off the highway, but no real noise to speak of. The room is large, with nice modern furnishings, which looks like it was recently completely refurbished as everything is pretty new, including the bathroom and fittings etc. Reception was friendly on checkin, although our...

The hotel was very close to the Soda Springs ski resorts. I found a lower price on the internet and the hotel honored it upon check in without any questions. The hot tub was perfect at the end of the day and the breakfast the next morning was also a pleasant surprise. It was quiet and clean. Would definitely stay... More

Hi all, We decided to on a last minute ski trip to squaw. There are no inexpensive places to stay during ski season. We went thru expedia and paid around $200 for the night. It is only 20 minutes or so from Squaw and right next to the freeway. Check in was simple and the clerk was courteous and efficient.... More

The room was large and comfortable with breakfast included. Everything was very clean. The hotel is about 30 minutes drive from Squaw/Alpine ski areas. The breakfast on Sat morning was great - well cooked bacon and scrambled eggs, while the breakfast on Sun morning was not so good with what appeared to be out-of-a-packet omelette. Another thing that stopped them... More

The hotel is clean enough. Our room seemed recently remodeled. The location is great -- central to many of the ski resorts and close to downtown Truckee. The service at the front desk however was abysmal. While our problem was eventually resolved to my satisfaction, it was extremely frustrating trying to communicate with the young woman checking us in. I... More

There were too many trespassers using the jacuzzi late at night. Trespassers being those that just walk in off the street not paying for a room. I think it creates a lack of security that is very uncomfortable. The secondary door to the hotel was left unlocked every night I stayed (6) that would allow unathorized entrance to the building....
