FANTASTIC HOTEL. Very clean rooms, with updated furnishings and decor. The lobby has a nice little fireplace with soft chairs, and fresh coffee and hot chocolate 24 hours a day. Breakfast was nice (simple but plenty of offerings hot and cold) and the staff was friendly, helpful, and kind. Overall, fantastic and way better than the average roadside hotel.

Overall very pleased with our accommodation. Staff are friendly, room was clean, bed was comfy, and was surprisingly quiet considering how close it is to the freeway. TV didn’t work (no signal), but wasn’t a huge issue for us.

Tiny square pillows in room, uncomfortable bed, Pancake machine not functional at breakfast, jacuzzi jets broken and paint chipping visible on exterior of building. Better upkeep required.

Reviews I read were very good so I wonder if this place has changed hands? Very few guests were staying on a Saturday night in September? Yet Truckee seemed busy? Property seemed to lack basic upkeep/amenities (e.g. shower curtain didn’t stay completely closed because rod is uneven so water gets on the tile floor; exhaust fan in bathroom noisy and didn’t work so bathroom becomes a sauna when showering; no lotion in room; skimpy on towels; spa tub outside didn’t have upper jets working or bubbles—but water was hot). Breakfast? Instant eggs, bacon, bagels, muffins, cereal, pancake maker, apples, etc). Oatmeal packets with only cold water in thermos—had to hunt for hot water.. Located right off major highway so one side with pool/spa is noisy. Cappuccino maker was nice. Property seemed clean. Front desk staff were very nice and professional. Truckee is spectacular — will return but will try a different lodging.

Loved the staff and the location. We got the last room available I believe and managed to squeeze in the free breakfast which was lovely.

Pool was not open, front desk sally sassalot made no apologies for the pool not open and hot tub not working due to refurbishment. But instead made a comment as if it was my fault saying "most people who travel know to ask hotel if facilities are available, instead of just using the website as it takes months to update-know you know better...." snarky smile and just carried on like a robot. No apologies. No reimbursement or courtesy extended for something you pay for and not delivered but instead make it your fault. Very unpleasant, i was really looking forward to a heated pool. Most folks do.
