evo Hotel Tahoe City
Great location, 6 min walk to Safeway and less to coffee and food shops outside the hotel restaurant which is great too. Room was super clean, well appointed and functional. The lobby staff was great and welcoming. I highly recommend this hotel.

Truckee Donner Lodge
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.
