The Inn at Truckee
Forgot a hairdryer & went downstairs and the desk clerk handed me one. No problem. Close proximity to restaurants. I don’t think it was working but I did miss the espresso/latte from the coffee machine. The continental breakfast was handy too.

Hyatt Vacation Club at Northstar Lodge, Lake Tahoe
The Staff was amazing, great attitudes, willingness to help. The rooms were clean and were well appointed. However, the sheets felt like sandpaper and the shower heads seemed to be super low volume. Beds needed an extra blanket.

Truckee Donner Lodge
Room was clean, hotel employees were nice, they had a great coffee machine that made lattes, mochas, hot chocolate, etc. I'd stay there again!
