Truckee Donner Lodge

10/10 Excellent

Truckee Donner Lodge is, without a doubt, the most pleasantly surprising hotel I've ever stayed at. Recommended by a friend, I was initially skeptical about its 3-star rating. However, I was quickly proven wrong. The rooms at Truckee Donner Lodge are incredibly spacious, featuring comfortable desks and sofas, not to mention the convenience of having both a microwave oven and a refrigerator. The daily housekeeping service is impeccable, ensuring a clean and welcoming environment throughout our...

We recently stayed at Inn at Truckee and was pleasantly surprised by the quality and comfort it offered. The check-in process was quick and easy, and the staff were friendly and welcoming.

10/10 Excellent

The stay at Welk Northstar was amazing! They supplied just about everything you need from kitchen to laundry room & bathrooms of course. It was just my husband and myself in the two bedroom villa and it was so beyond spacious! We stayed during off season so if you are wanting to enjoy the village it is very sparse. We only went down to Starbucks and cooked our own food so for us it wasn’t a problem. The only thing I wish they would change are pool hours, we’re early birds and 9am is kind of late...

10/10 Excellent

Great location- walk across the street to get to bike trails and beach access. Hotel is cute with lots of rustic reclaimed wood and nice decor. Had great wine and watched Monday night football at Uncorked with some friendly locals. Only minor downside is showerhead was from about 1976 so the shower experience wasn't as great as I assumed it would be with all the other uogrades and attention to detail
