Reviews I read were very good so I wonder if this place has changed hands? Very few guests were staying on a Saturday night in September? Yet Truckee seemed busy? Property seemed to lack basic upkeep/amenities (e.g. shower curtain didn’t stay completely closed because rod is uneven so water gets on the tile floor; exhaust fan in bathroom noisy and didn’t work so bathroom becomes a sauna when showering; no lotion in room; skimpy on towels; spa tub outside didn’t have upper jets working or bubbles—but water was hot). Breakfast? Instant eggs, bacon, bagels, muffins, cereal, pancake maker, apples, etc). Oatmeal packets with only cold water in thermos—had to hunt for hot water.. Located right off major highway so one side with pool/spa is noisy. Cappuccino maker was nice. Property seemed clean. Front desk staff were very nice and professional. Truckee is spectacular — will return but will try a different lodging.

Pool was not open, front desk sally sassalot made no apologies for the pool not open and hot tub not working due to refurbishment. But instead made a comment as if it was my fault saying "most people who travel know to ask hotel if facilities are available, instead of just using the website as it takes months to update-know you know better...." snarky smile and just carried on like a robot. No apologies. No reimbursement or courtesy extended for something you pay for and not delivered but instead make it your fault. Very unpleasant, i was really looking forward to a heated pool. Most folks do.
