The overall room was good enough for a couple day stay (2 at max). Would not recomend for a longer stay. Bathroom and room were decent looking. But the king bed and pillows could definitely deserve a mention. The matress felt like one of those old time spring matressess that had us feeling beat up when we work up. It would be something if we even had neck support with the pillows but the pillows just melted flat. We kept waking up and trying to shape it like playdough as we slept and there was no support there.

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.
