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.

Not sure how this hotel has the rating it does. From walking in to register the smell of some sort of cleaner was overwhelming. Possibly fabuloso or something similar. Coffee maker in lobby broken , our room also had overwhelming cleaner smell. I had to buy new hose for cpap ( I couldn’t get smell out ) . Our room key didn’t work on multiple occasions and they were aware of it before our stay. They gave us master key giving us access to all rooms not just ours. When we asked front desk about door not working they said “Things happen” we didn’t want to move you !!! The pool was closed due to something broken in the filter. Our room had a leak under sink and tub had spider webs. I’m not expecting the Four Seasons but this hotel was very sub par compared to reviews. Besides the overwhelming smell of chemical cleaner I understand things happen. This wasn’t a “thing” happening, it was lack of maintenance and overall lack of giving a crud

The hot tub was only a warm tub and the jets were so weak you could hardly feel anything. Otherwise it was a nice property.
