The Village at Palisades Tahoe

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely loved the loca! Convenient to many towns, parks and lakes. We were there during Made in Tahoe. It was Amazing to not leave the property and have so much accessible. My only suggestion…,take out the carpet in the rooms."

Martis Valley Lodge, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Stayed at this lodge with family for a fall foliage trip to the Truckee Donner Lake area. Hotel was conveniently located and breakfast options were ok but not varied or child friendly. Most aspects of our stay were fine. Check in took an unnecessarily long time because of a chatty guest ahead of us and the registration clerk giving a long explanation of the property’s history. The air conditioning unit was very loud and unless we had it on at night the room would be too hot and stuffy, even though it went down to the 20-30s at night. The shampoo was used up when we arrived and had not been replaced. We had to ask for a replacement. There was a rowdy party group the floor below us and we could hear them pounding the floor running around and they pulled the fire alarm. I would not choose this hotel in the future but it was affordable for a holiday weekend. The lower price may attract the wrong crowd."

Truckee Donner Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed at Truckee Donner Lodge for one night. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful. The room was large, clean and well appointed. The hotel is ideally located adjacent to Donner Lake State Park, which is interesting and worth a visit. The breakfast was fresh and nutritious. I would gladly stay at this hotel again when in this area."

Gravity Haus Truckee-Tahoe

8/10 Good

"The hotel room was super clean. The mattress was a little bit too soft for my back. The room was really quiet which is really good. I have used the shared workspace, it was really good but a little bit too cold. The location is very awesome to visit Tahoe and Truckee. I would recommend it."

Crown Motel

8/10 Good

"The property and room were well maintained and clean. The room had carpet which I don’t love it felt a little old but other than that the room was nice and spacious. The pool and hot tub looking out over the lake was really wonderful. Staff was friendly and accommodating. There are several restaurants and coffee shops within walking distance."
