It's a great little town with shuttles to Northstar, Alpine Meadows, and Squaw Valley. There used to be a shuttle to Sugar Bowl as well, but I'm not sure it's still available. Their hospital has the most experience with ski related and avalanche related injuries, and are very efficient. There aren't a lot of hotels in Truckee, and very few in the downtown area where you could walk to restaurants. There is the Truckee Trolley, "http://www.tahoesbest.com/Transportation/truckee_trolley.htm" but it's really only for skiers, not for getting from hotels to downtown. I used to stay at the Star Hotel, where I knew the owner, but it's not a hotel anymore apparently. Most of the restaurants have changed since when I used stay in Truckee motels (now we rent cabins and cook), but Squeeze Inn is still there apparently and was very good for breakfast. Wagon Train Coffee Shop is still there, and it wasn't great. |
