Kudos to him!! ##### catherine Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Kenneth 21 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, amenities This place is hard to review as they are giving you a feel for the “old west “. Shared bathrooms ( mostly ) Loud as it’s next to the Union Pacific main line and the doors loosely shut. They do give you a “white noise machine” and earplugs. It is located in town so you can easily get food and do some shopping. Also, parking is on the street and is paid parking between 10am to 6 pm. No AC also. ##### Kenneth Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Denise 9 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities We loved this place. We stayed here with several friends for a disc golf tournament nearby. Loved the rich colors and almost haunted feeling, the low price. The shower heads are tall enough for my 6’9” husband. Check in and out is simple. The beds are comfortable which is most important for us. There’s no shampoo/conditioner so bring your own. Sheets/pillows/blankets/towels are all nice. Perfect for a place to rest without breaking the bank. We will be back! ##### Denise Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Justin 3 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great hotel but limited parking This was a good place to stay in Truckee. Close to the resorts. My only issue is the limited parking. It was incredibly stressful trying to secure one of the limited overnight parking spaces, especially on a just weekend. For only this reason, I would not come back. ##### Justin Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Terrell 14 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities The room did not have any air conditioning instead they had a very loud fan and with the window open I heard every loud noise which caused me to lose sleep. With the weather and the conditions we’re going to be the same I decided to leave a day early. The property was very clean and unique. ##### Terrell Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### william 1 Jan 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service I loved that there was halfway affordable accommodation in Truckee and the room was clean and bright. But West River was also somewhat awkward, especially given the price range of over $200/night which is cheap only by Truckee standards: my private bathroom had faucets which sprayed water out the sides, no shower curtain and no body wash soap (just an empty container). The place also felt a little unwelcoming, especially for a hostel: the initial hall felt like a combination of an empty brothel and an empty fast food restaurant. ##### william Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### larry 29 Aug 2025 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### This hotel was half the price of other hotels and The photos online made the room look cute. The room was on the third floor and there was a very steep climb. I knew that the room would be small but, the room was very small with sloping ceilings. I hit my head getting out of bed and on the ceiling. Im 6ft tall. The bed platform is about 4in off the floor, old mattress, not very comfortable. Basically you have to sweat out of bed, onto your knees and not hit your head on the ceiling. The place is carpeted in what look like carpet samples from the 80’s. I have stayed at hotels with shared bathrooms and I have no problem with that. The problem was I was on the third floor and the bathroom was on the second floor. Getting up in the middle of the night and climbing down a flight of stairs has no fun. I was on a motorcycle and parking is practically nonexistent. Basically. They tell you to find parking were you can. ![Only one room in the 3rd floor. The bathroom is on the second floor. ](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2b999f53-8094-463f-9718-caf504f6765f-1756434035408.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e3893f91-da01-4c85-a162-b5f77aef3d23-1756434035418.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8bb658b1-f29e-40e2-85cc-886859a41502-1756434035506.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### larry Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Xiaobing 3 Feb 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Good ##### Xiaobing Stayed 1 night in Jan 2026 ### 8/10 Good #### Elizabeth 14 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Very nice being close to downtown and the Truckee River ##### Elizabeth Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Marco 24 Jan 2026 Liked: Cleanliness The check in process was a little confusing. ##### Marco Stayed 1 night in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### mark 19 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Good location ##### mark Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Brian 12 Jan 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities They provide earplugs and white noise machines for a reason. ##### Brian Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeff 12 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities A super hostel experience. ##### Jeff Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah 25 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Lovely, place, tremendous location.
