SpringHill Suites by Marriott Truckee Lake Tahoe"We stayed one night on our way through Truckee. This Springhill Suites did not disappoint. It was very comfortable and clean and I would pick it again if I get a chance to go back to Truckee."
"You can take the TART on-call bus to the hotel. We chose to walk it from the town center--we took the train--but it was a moderate up-hill 1.3 mike walk with luggage. Not terrible but used the free bus when we caught the train the next day."
