Very convenient location, friendly staff, easy to park. The continental breakfast exceeded my expectations with hot scrambled eggs or egg/cheese omelettes, bacon or sausage patties, bagels, yogurt, cereal, pancakes, English muffins, coffee, etc. The pool was comfortable and the hot tub warm. The jets in the hot tub didn’t work well - but no biggie. The AC on the third floor worked - but it was a bit noisy. It did get warm in the third floor and I preferred to run the AC at night anyway. My room was near the elevator - which I would avoid next time if possible - because I consistently heard the “ding” of the doors late into the night. Other than that - great place! Would certainly stay again!

5 stars All around at Donner Truckee Lodge!

It was very very clean! The maids did a wonderful job every time they cleaned the room. The breakfast was included and there were several options to choose from! The staff was friendly and very helpful. Dana and Kelly at night were so wonderful and the day people were polite and nice too!

Donner is beautiful, and the hotel looks very nice. Sadly, they are totally unprofessional, if not predatory. I told them I will need a late checkout 6 days ahead of time, through Expedia. They fail to respond. If they intend to charge half a day’s stay for less than 1 hour past checkout, you would think they would tell the customer that, especially as I asked several times after checking in. This would have given me an opportunity for choosing whether to stay longer, instead of paying a ridiculous amount for under an hour. But no. They let me check out without informing me of any penalty, and then apply the unapproved charge.
