Lovely, place, tremendous location. Contactless check in was an adjustment but it worked. This kind of independent, high quality but affordable lodging is just what Truckee needs.

West River House was a pleasant surprise. It has a hostel vibe. The room was clean and the bed / pillows are very comfortable. We were most impressed with the detailed instructions for everything including parking, shower use, check in and checkout. We enjoyed the balcony as well. The location was great for us as we came to ride bikes and enjoy Truckee Thursday.

The other hotel guests were quiet and I was able to sleep well on my day off from work. I recommend room 13 for those guests that want privacy. Fyi, one can save money at this property by booking a "communal room".

Cute, clean, and generally 👍👍👍

For such a communal space, the whole place—and especially the bathrooms—were remarkably sparkling clean. Plus the location is great, it’s cute… It’s a winner!
