Stayed in the annex. Super nice staff, very cool vibe. Was there for my cousin’s wedding so didn’t get to hang out at the little bar at all but will next time. Friends who were through-hiking the PCT highly recommended and they were right.

When they offer ear plugs, take them. When you see the white noise machine, use it. Besides noise levels, it’s legit

This hostel is in a great location and has easy parking. It's very clean. The host, Michael, was fantastic -- a great gjuy and a credit to the Redlight (and humanity).

It's a hostel and I opted for the bunk because it's the most affordable option in Truckee. Its a good deal and nice people there. It's my 3rd time staying there and love the building. I was able to work in the bar area in the morning and noone was awake so I could do my work and drink my coffee in peace. It's walking distance to everything in downtown Truckee. Their bar is great too. No complaints from me for the affordability. Next price up in Truckee is over $3 bills a night.

This was my first stay, but probably not my last. Great location, great price, great place if you just need a chill place to sleep vs a resort! Nothing fancy, but it was comfortable and suited my needs. The other guests were friendly and they even have a sauna.

Didn't stay at this place. Didn't like it. No tv in the room and the small room was near the bar. People check in at the bar. The entrance is from the bar. Awful! We ended up going to a better place.

Absolutely awesome. And the most comfortable bed and any hostel that I have ever stayed out anywhere in the world, go figure. Great find.

This is a really quirky place to stay in a good way. It looks like the former brothel it was! It has the original bar still serving local brews. Rooms are small, but the bed was super comfortable. It has two outside patios and multiple indoor shared space areas. The communal kitchen was great for a multi day stay. We had a private shower, but the shared ones were very clean. I feel this site is better suited for singles and couples without children. The atmosphere is very relaxed, but for adults only.

This is a wonderfully quirky old-timey hotel. I stayed in the annex building. I had my own room, although the bathroom (very clean) was shared. There was no AC, but a large box fan did the trick. If you're a Ritz kind of person, this will not be your scene, but if you miss the days of youth-hostel, carefree travel, then this will be a great stay!
