The owner of this place is awesome, he has the best prices in town. Beers on tap and the black raspberry ice cream is top tier. Thanks for an amazing experience at the hostel.

I have stayed in hostels across the United States. I led bicycle trips for the American Youth Hostels in CA, MA, PA and even France! I love hostels, and this hostel is pretty awesome, and in a very special place, downtown Truckee. There are a few issues though. It's not that warm in the winter, and the air coming into the bunk room is actually chilly. And the front staff does not have control of the thermostat! There is a great "movie room" downstairs with lots of movies, which would be an especially great thing for the winter when the nights are longer, but it is closed off to guests now. There are locking areas above the sleeping areas in the bunk room which is great, but both of my visits there has been an issue getting them to work.

I’m quite confident that anyone who complains about this place doesn’t understand what a hostel is, or has never stayed in one. The place clearly advertises it’s a hostel or”bunk style hotel” for those who that doesn’t register. This is the nicest hostel I’ve ever stayed in and I’ve stayed in my fair share of European and Asian hostels. It’s a little on the pricey end but for American prices this is amazing. I’ve paid more for a motel 6 that didn’t provide me a foam mattress and a sound machine. Yes some amenities are shared but that’s because it’s a HOSTEL. I would absolutely recommend. Staff is lovely. Location is divine. Details are too notch. Bed is comfortable. Privacy for a hostel is well above average. I’m so happy to know these place exist in the us for budget travelers who cant afford the $250 Hampton inn aka the next sharpest option.

I recently moved to the North Lake Tahoe/Truckee area for work. I booked a month at the Redlight because it was close to my new office. Zach and the staff were incredible! They welcomed me warmly and were very attentive to my needs. The ice cream/beer bar was a great place to meet new people. Staying here definitely gave me a good lay of the land and was a great introduction to the local culture.
