We had a comfortable stay for 1 night. The lodge is located close to the ski resorts . Truckee downtown is also a short drive away. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was clean. The breakfast area is pretty small and there wasn’t enough seating for us. Breakfast offers the basic options.

For the price it was a fine hotel. Staff was friendly and helpful. Room was clean and quiet. Also loved that we didn't need to run the HVAC unit because the temperature remained steady and perfect without it. The only thing that could possibly improve was the free breakfast. It wasn't bad but wasn't beyond average. Overall enjoyed our stay and would stay there again.
