Nice location. Very friendly staff. Lots of kids running all over up and down the hallways making noise and not told by staff that they were bothering many guests. Totally unacceptable!

The hotel was easy to find and had plenty of parking. Was able to find a “working” cart to carry my stuff to the room. The room was large and had a comfortable chair to watch TV. The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. Great hotel- I wish all rooms were as great as this was!!

We've stayed at the Tahoe Donner Lodge twice for skiing at Sugar Bowl, and it's perfect. The rooms are just what we needed for a couple of nights on the slopes, the drive night to SB and to nearby restaurants is extremely convenient, and the included breakfast was delicious with many options. The staff was amazing, too! We'll be back next season for sure.

This was the perfect place for a quick ski weekend. I definitely want to come back! It wasn’t the newest or fanciest but there was a cute fireplace in the lobby, everything felt clean and comfortable. The latte machine was exactly what I needed, and if it had been colder I definitely would’ve gone in the hot tub. Close to downtown Truckee and Palisades. For my budget it was 5 stars!
