Donner Lake Inn

The towels were musty smelling and I needed a shower when I got home! The room was much smaller than it appeared in the photos. The hosts were nice and responded to our needs in a timely manner.

What a great place to stay! If you like a clean, neat, quiet place to stay with a creek running outside your window, this is the place to stay!

Donner Lake Inn in April The Donner Lake Inn is a quiet inn that is geared for eco-friendliness. The room was clean and the inn is located close to Truckee and parks.

Pro: Studio room w Bunk bed works great for a family with 1-2 kids Good driving distance to ski resorts in North Lake Tahoe; Across the street from Donner lake so should be good for summer time too. Grab-to-go breakfast is with fresh pastries and hot egg burritos 48-hr cancellation term works great for families with smaller children (think about a time when kids get sick and you have to cancel the trip) Cons Super tiny shower space. Seriously the smallest I had ever used. The shower head position doesn’t work well for small kids. They would be forced to have a shampoo every day hahah. Better to have a removable shower head. Good that the toilet and sink are separated though. Not enough dining options within 5mins driving Wish list: To include milk in breakfast options. There’s good variety of coffee but having milk would be good for kids Open up the breakfast place during the day (or evening) for access to hot water.

Great breakfast including delicious breakfast burrito. Quiet room and convenient for families.

The shower head is tall so that difficult for short kids, it would be great to change to one with handheld.
