Truckee Donner Lodge

Truckee Donner Lodge

2/10 Terrible
"Complicated review - night time the front desk girl was awesome. Thank you! The morning person, I think there’s a humanity that is sadly, going away. No one was at the hotel but me and a few cars and I needed a little more time to work. Policy is let’s get as much money as possible, kindness would have noticed the slow middle of the week day and said ‘no problem! To an extra 30 minutes to an hour in the room. I would have tipped the cleaners for the kindness. Leaving at noon is not uncommon and the night time girl said just give them a call, they should be able to accommodate that for you. It’s like everyone now are just enjoying the power trip of being UNKIND right when they can be. It’s rather odd as the original review was going to be amazing and i would recommend this place. But it’s just so odd to be unnecessarily dismissed for such a small gesture. No ‘can I stay til 2’ nothing of the sorts. I asked can I leave before noon and policy states I have to pay more. If it was busy, I could understand. No one else around! So this is basically a message saying staffing is so incredibly critical and kind people should operate the front desk. Some people with some common sense. I said ‘I thought you would be kind…but thanks for letting me know’. ‘Yes no problem sir’. I would rather have an AI hired so I know to expect a very dismissive unkind response. Very unfortunate departure. The night girl was awesome!"
