Why stay in Truckee

Truckee sits in the northern Sierra Nevada near Donner Lake and Lake Tahoe, a base for skiing at Northstar and Palisades in winter and hiking or paddling in summer. Interstate 80 runs through town, and the drive to the North Shore beaches and back fits within a single charge. Mountain passes here see heavy snow, so factor cold-weather range loss into winter trips.

How our data works

Booking sites get charging wrong often enough that we don't take it from them. Every charger here is mapped from a public registry and tied to the property itself.

01
Mapped from public data

National charger registries, filtered to hotels, are the backbone of every listing.

02
Matched station to property

A charger counts only when it sits at the hotel: within 60 metres, or 150 with a matching name.

03
Date-stamped

Every listing shows the month we last updated it. Anything unconfirmed is left off, never guessed.
