"The apartment was nice, modern, and very clean, with new appliances and a comfortable bed. Overall, it felt well-maintained and offered good value for the location. However, there were a few issues during my stay. Some of the light switches were confusing and didn’t always work properly sometimes only certain combinations would turn lights on or off. The unit is downstairs, and noise from the upstairs neighbor (who was quite loud at times) made it difficult to sleep in or rest comfortably....

Plaza Resort Club

8/10 Good

"Lovely non casino hotel right in the heart of Reno. Close by to everything you might want to see whilst here. I was kindly given a room on the 18th floor by the lovely gentleman at check in. The staff here are absolutely delightful and nothing is too much trouble. The hotel offers free parking and lots of facilities to enjoy your stay. The room was huge and the bed incredibly comfortable. It also afforded me a lovely view of the city lit up at night. The rooms are a little outdated, think of it like you’re staying with your grandparents for the night, but they’re homely and comforting and it’s like you’re visiting the 1960’s all over again. I really think this adds to the character of the place. Whilst I mention outdated, that doesn’t take away from how immaculately clean and well cared for they are. The levels of cleanliness were excellent. The only 2 things that I didn’t really like was the adjoining door with the room next door (the lady in there was having a BRILLIANT time with several men. I heard every climax of each person involved) I absolutely hate adjoining hotel rooms. There’s always noise. The noise of the elevator going up and down all day and night was the other thing, though this is just the layout of the building. The property offers excellent value for money, character and really nice caring staff. I’d 100% stay here again next time I find myself in Reno."

Whitney Peak Hotel Reno, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Great Stay in a great spot"

WorldMark Reno

10/10 Excellent

"My inaugural visit to Reno and WorldMark Reno was an outstanding experience. I would like to commend the staff, the property, and the service for exceeding all expectations. Having traveled extensively across nine countries and stayed in over 2,000 suite-category hotels, I found the accommodations and service level here to be truly exceptional. I extend my sincere appreciation to the WorldMark Reno team for such a remarkable stay."

The Jesse Hotel & Bar

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed our stay at the Jesse overall. It is very clean, quaint, and has a great B&B vibe (without the breakfast). The bed was comfortable and the bathroom spacious. The housekeeping staff was very nice and proactive if there was anything we needed. Quick note. The hotel is on a fairly busy street and it's not the most soundproofed. The hotel provides earplugs and a white noise machine, but we did not find those necessary for the occasional traffic noise. They were not helpful on the Friday night when the music in the adjacent patio was cranked up. Thankfully, the event ended by 11:00. If you are someone who needs deep silence and goes to bed early, check ahead on events there. If you crash later at night or can sleep through anything, this is a great place to stay!"

Howard Johnson by Wyndham Reno Downtown

8/10 Good

"The Wi-Fi did not really work. We had to go to the hook up to the internet. Nothing changed for the time we were there. We booked through Xpedia and had to leave a $100 which was refundable which was unexpected. I used their online check in which didn’t go through and had to give my info AGAIN when I got there."

Renaissance Reno Downtown Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"The check in time was 4pm. I arrived at 4:25pm. The room was not ready. I had to wait until 5pm to get checked it. I wasn’t too happy about that because I was tired."
