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.

I would give this 5 stars, but we are used to a memory foam bed mattress and our bed was too firm. Both my wife and I tossed and turned and woke up feeling sore in the hips due to the bed. The breakfast was good and appreciate the hospitality that was rendered.

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.

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.
