Truckee Donner Lodge

Truckee Donner Lodge

8/10 Good
"The property is older, the furniture in the room was a bit run down, but clean. You can hear a lot from your room, other guests, the elevator, road noise, etc. The pool and spa are clean and well maintained. You can see there’s a sense of pride to keep things clean."
