We had a lovely time at this hotel with stunning views and a great location. However, the room we stayed in needed serious updates and cleaning, especially considering the high price. The kitchen amenities were lacking, making it difficult to prepare basic meals. Additionally, we experienced some issues with other guests' dogs during our stay, which was quite an inconvenience.

The one-bedroom lakefront room had an amazing view but was dirty and in need of updates. The kitchen was poorly equipped with only one small non-stick pan and a couple of pots.

The service was decent, but I was disappointed that my request for a ground floor room wasn't honored upon arrival.

The location is fantastic, right by the lake with incredible views. I loved being able to enjoy the scenery.

We didn't have much dining options on-site, and since the kitchen was under-equipped, we couldn't really prepare our meals as planned.

The facilities were mediocre; while the location was great, some areas like the dock and dog policy could definitely use improvements.

We had a decent trip, but it could have been better. The location near the lake was a highlight, and we found a few pet-friendly options around. Unfortunately, the check-in experience was frustrating due to our room request not being honored, and the excessive presence of unleashed dogs was quite troubling. Overall, it may not be how we remember our previous visits, but there were still some good moments.

Although I booked a ground floor room for convenience, I was given a different one upon arrival, and it didn't match what we needed for our family. The room was adequate but could use modern updates.

Communication could be better, as I wasn't informed about the room availability until check-in. However, the owner did help find a workaround when we expressed our concerns.

The hotel's location by the lake was beautiful, making it easy to enjoy the water activities. Unfortunately, the access to the dock was subpar due to maintenance.

The overall amenities are decent, offering direct lake access, but the bridge situation was a bit of a letdown. With some repairs, this could improve significantly.

I had a great time at this hotel which is located so close to the Royal Gorge, the largest Nordic ski area in North America. The views are stunning, and I loved the laid-back vibe of Donner Lake Village. There were a few hiccups with check-in, but overall, it was a solid experience. The room had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, though I wish the check-in process was smoother.

The help from the staff was appreciated, especially Paul who gave us a ride to Donner Pass for our hike, but the late check-in experience left something to be desired.

I was really looking forward to our stay at Donner Lake Village, but it turned out to be quite disappointing. We had a special request for a downstairs room due to my husband's mobility issues, and despite confirming our needs multiple times, we were given a room that was not suitable. On a positive note, the location by the lake is stunning, and our room was spacious and clean. However, the lack of attention to our basic needs cast a shadow over our experience.
