We were reccomended this motel to stay in as my cousin was getting married in Truckee. We paid $100 for the night. It was the cheapest and best looking motel that I found in Truckee. They let us check in early since the wedding started at 230 which was nice. The room was really clean and beds were comfortable. It... More

I was looking for a place to stay while exploring Donner Pass and the Pacific Crest Trail. This was a great location just off highway 80. The hotel is clean and comfortable. We arrived at 2am after flying into Sacramento and the night clerk was very friendly. The included breakfast was pretty minimal but I would say average for this... More

We will definitely stay there in the... More

We come back to the Truckee Donner Lodge every Memorial Day Weekend to enjoy a comfortable place to stay while we produce the Truckee Home and Building Show just a mile down the road.

We just returned from an overnight stay at the Truckee Donner Lodge. This is actually the old Holiday Inn Express. It is very conveniently located right off I-80, and is 2 exits West of the main Truckee shopping / restaurant area. The hotel is clean and functional, with a decent breakfast (bagels, eggs, cereal, etc...standard Economy hotel fare) and complementary... More

This lodge is conveniently located near Tahoe Donner Downhill Ski area. The lodge isn’t really what I think of when I think of a lodge. It’s more like a 3 star hotel. The lodge does not have a restaurant or a bar but they do serve breakfast in the morning and the selection is pretty good, they had eggs and... More
