Truckee Donner Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Location was convenient and easy to access. Room and lobby were clean and inviting. Veiw of the surrounding mountains and creek were very nice."

Best Western Plus Truckee-Tahoe Hotel

8/10 Good

"Everything is good. Pool was not as warm as it has been in previous years especially in winter. The hotel is now charging a 10 dollar parking fee. Beware. Why they are charging after all these years is beyond me. There is nobody who parks their but hotel guest. The nights are already over 200 dollars. "
