We visited this resort in August of 2011. Based on some of the other reviews we were expecting to see run-down antiquated accommodations. We were pleasantly surprised. We got a lake view king one bedroom and it had everything we needed for our six day stay. We had several dinners in Truckee based on travelers' reviews and we found that... More

Stayed only one night with my doughter and the experience was what you would expect from a 2 stars place in a resort area. Average effort in everything. Rooms decorated in the 70´s, and altough somehow renovated still "collecting" everything they found in all of these years...Corridors do really need some urgent investment. Lake view is really outstanding. More

This was our first visit here and it was great. The room had 1double bed and a pull out sofa for our two kids. The rooms are clean, warm with a full kitchen and everything you could need. Staff are very helpful. The resort is right on the Lake and very close to a couple of ski resorts. Great value... More

The views, the lake were amazing but the room was 'tired' which was a shame. The bed was very small and not particularly comfortable, overall the place was clean, had a fridge (really noisy overnight!) and a microwave but no crockery or cutlery or glasses, just 4 coffee mugs. That said it was still a good place to stay, lovely... More

This place doesn't come close to looking like it does in the photos. I am not sure how you can have such a false front of what you are renting out., This place is reasonably priced, especially since I was able to take advantage of a discount, but PLEASE, this place is old and dirty!!. You could not walk around... More

Right on Donner Lake which is a good alternative to Lake Tahoe, while still fairly close for you to go there for the day/half a day. The lake is way smaller but the view is gorgeous. Although dated, rooms are clean, comfortable and quite big. The only complain we had is that the 2nd bed (coming out of a sofa)... More

There are very few (if any) other lake front lodging/hotels on Donner Lake and nothing of this quality that I saw. This 'resort' gets a lot of use but happily it is fairly well maintained. It's conveniently next to the boat/personal watercraft rentals and a fishing pier. No morning lobby meals, has BBQ's available, some small but nice lawn areas... More

Like they always say, "you pay for what you get", and Donner Lake Village Resort is no exception. It is definitely not fancy, but it's a functional budget hotel. It also has a small kitchen so that you don't have to eat out every night. That would save you even more. I do agree with another review saying the wall... More
