The Inn at Truckee
We wanted a place with close access to snow. Place is a bit dated but very clean and had comfortable beds. Water pressure of shower was good. No hairdryer (but I also didn’t ask to see if the front desk lends the out). No elevator, but not an issue for us. Close to stores and restaurants/cafes.
