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 stay.
What truly sets this lodge apart is its complimentary breakfast. The waffles and sausages were a hit with the kids, making our mornings delightful. The hotel also boasts a pool and a cozy space filled with computers, books, magazines, newspapers, and toys for children. It embodies the saying, 'Though small, it has everything one could need.'
The front desk staff, especially Alex, were outstanding. Alex was incredibly nice and supportive, catering to almost all our requests with a smile. The lobby's spaciousness, complemented by a comforting fireplace, adds to the lodge's charm. The availability of free drinks in the lobby was the cherry on top. Alex told and guided us everything about the lodge.
In my eyes, Truckee Donner Lodge deserves more than a 4-star rating. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable stay. This lodge isn't just a place to sleep; it's a place that feels like home.
