$37 for a martini was a bit much. Trash in the hall way and a leaky hallway ceiling were on two different floors. Poop bags were not replaced during my three day stay. This was at the lawn in the back. The door to get to that lawn is not accessible with a room key forcing people with their dogs to walk all the way to the side doors. We used a rock to prop the door open so we could get back in. The staff was fantastic in all departments.

We've stayed at a few Ritz-Carlton resorts including New Orleans and Turks & Caicos a month or two after it opened and this one did not disappoint! We loved it so much we applied for a Ritz-Carlton credit card...the resort is tucked away in the mountains of Truckee and it's absolutely beautiful. The entrance sign is very understated but that's what you expect from a luxury brand--quiet understated upscale luxury and the property is too but it is stunning. The porte cochere is wide and expansive where the valets await your arrival. The doormen and bellhops are there to take your luggage if needed. Upon entering the gorgeous lobby we checked in at the desk which was quick but friendly and professional and left with a welcome drink of champagne which was refilled before we left for the elevators. Our room was on the 5th floor with a Mountain View and a view of the fireplace area where s'mores are made every evening at 5:30. There's lots of seating there too. The room was perfect; quiet, comfortable and clean. The bathroom was stocked with bathrobes and towels and all the luxury items you need for a hot shower or bath. There was a refrigerator and lots of water. We unpacked and headed down for a tour of the place. We went to the concierge to set up some spa services for the next day, looked around the gift shop and then headed up the staircase to see the restaurants and The Living Room. All clean, nice and gorgeous with beautiful views of the property and landscape.

The hotel is very outdated with cracks in the bathtub and dusty carpeting - had allergies all night due to the dust. Does not have a 5 star feel, small rooms with tiny balconies with hardly any standing room (no room for chairs or anything). The staff was amazing, especially room service staff, went above and beyond.
