This is my seco d time staying here and it's great. We come to visit and fish around Truckee, typically in more of the off-season and we have had wonderful experiences each time. Love the pillows. This last time we stayed in a room right next to the elevator so it was a little npisy, but otherwise great.

The big let down was when we got there at night, there was a sign that said the front desk would be back 30 minutes later. We were cold and tired, and had to wait 30 minutes for a supposedly 24-hour front desk.

Staff was nice, check-in and out was fast. We had a problem with our TV, the cable that goes into the wall was loose so it glitched while watching. I fell in the shower because the tub was slippery and no grids or mat to prevent that. The pool and hot tub are outside. Went in September so it was too cool for pool so wanted to use hot tub but it was closed. Not a place to hang out but ok if you are just passing through for the night.
