Unusually cool hotel and staff
What a great little hotel. Super helpful staff, I showed up 2 or 3 hours early, they were good with allowing me to take out one of their cruiser bicycles before check in. Since I came from the Amtrak station and didn't have a car, this allowed me to easily head back to downtown Truckee for a nice lunch as well as cruise local bike trails along the river. Also, my cell phone had broken down the previous day, and they were great with allowing me to call home from the main switchboard.
This place is big with backpackers and other back country explorers, so they have all kinds of hydration supplements and things like that for guests, no extra charge.
Also It's a walkable 1.2 miles from the Amtrak station along a protected bike path with good sidewalks all the way there, And so I hiked to and from a great dinner downtown and this was fun way to work off the calories, and this proximity, close enough, but not yoo close to I80 and the train tracks, made it practical to skip the usual driving to Truckee ftom the Bay.
Taking the train instead was a very good move when you stay here, at least in the warmer months.
