Property Description

Located in the heart of Downtown Truckee, California, just across the railroad tracks from boutique shopping and dining, the Tahoe Star Hotel is the preferred historic lodging downtown because of on-site parking, private bathrooms, and modern amenities. The hotel consists of eight comfortably appointed guest rooms, two on the main floor and the other six up the stairs on the second floor (there is no elevator to the 2nd floor). Advanced light technology air scrubbers have been installed throughout the entire HVAC system to continuously cleanse the air in all rooms. In the summer, guests can enjoy a lovely patio under starry skies; in the winter, relax with a book or in the lounge, which has a big-screen TV for guest access. All rooms and the property are non-smoking. Children of all ages are welcome, and children under the age of two stay free.

Important information:

Pros:

We had issues figuring out the heater and the bed was a little too firm, so unfortunately, we didn’t get great sleep while we were visiting. But the staff was very nice and the place was clean and well kept.

Great hotel in downtown Truckee
Pros:

Fantastic location, within walking distance of everything downtown. Decent sized and clean room with a very comfortable bed. The bathroom is also nice, though the soap for the sink was very watery. Convenient parking behind the hotel. Free snacks available all day.
The train runs through downtown and blows its horn even at night. To counter that, there are white noise machines in the rooms and the office offers free earplugs.
