The Inn at Truckee

8/10 Good

"The hotel is older and you can tell in some spots. There was stains on the bed frame and the shower had some damage around the walls.

Coyote Moon by AvantStay | Cabin W/Sauna | Mins from DT Truckee & NorthStar

8/10 Good

"My family enjoyed our summer stay at this property. The kitchen is really well appointed for someone who likes to cook, the movie room was a huge hit with the kiddo, and everything was comfortable. Wifi is spotty, but we learned it is like that across Tahoe Donner. Not listed is the fact that they do have a lot of tower fans which came in handy when it was warm out. Location is great too -- close to Tahoe Donner community, quick access to downtown Truckee and Donner Lake."
