The hotel is dark and needs updating. That said, it was quiet and comfortable. I had a king room that was just fine. Free wi-fi, cable tv, clean bathroom, vending machines with snacks and drinks. The pool was clean but could have used more chairs. In a good location, right next door to a busy coffee shop serving breakfasts and lunches. Short walk to Donner monument and lake beach. Front desk open 24 hours.

Will never do business with truckee donner again. Used my card and charged me an unauthorized and undisclosed amount on top of an "early check in fee" and refused to refund it . We were only told it would be released at check out. Got double charged for the room even though i had a paid receipt from expedia. Outlet in the bathroom didnt work ,the hot tub was not working , one card key didnt work the whole experience was awful.
