I booked a few nights at this property when I unexpectedly had to be in Reno for business. I booked it in a rush without looking at the reviews. The room itself was fine. It was clean, had good cold AC, a decent shower and clean sheets. I’m paranoid about hotel bedbugs, so I thouroughly checked the bed and bed sheets. They use bedbug repellent mattress covers, which was good. The downside is the area/location. It’s across from Circus Circus and in the filthiest, most rundown part of the Reno casino strip. When we checked in, there were 3-4 guys just sitting in front of the building, loitering around, smoking (what smelled like marijuana), drinking cans of beer, one shirtless guy screaming at the sky. If I hadn’t prepaid for the stay, I would’ve left immediately. The outdoor stairwell had cigarette butts on the stairs, discarded beers cans and who knows what else. The nighttime is the worst. Random (or maybe the same) cars rev and peel out at the front of the building every 15 minutes. It’s so loud and disturbing and goes on until 2:00-3:00am. Cars will also blast music all throughout the night. Of course, there is no law enforcement presence at all, so all the antics just go on all night. I’ve never reviewed a hotel with 1-2 stars before, but I’ve also never stayed in a hotel that made me feel so uncomfortable and uneasy with the surroundings. I wouldn’t recommend this place. And, if you have young children, I would definitely suggest looking somewhere else.

Don’t stay here unless you don’t mind roaches

Check in was chaotic. After we finally got into our room we settle in and shower, only to find ROACHES coming out and running around. One even fell on my boyfriend’s head when he went to open the bathroom door. He went down to the front desk to let them know how disgusting the room was and they denied knowing anything about the infestation. She told us we should’ve came down sooner since it had been a couple hours since we had checked in but we went as soon as the bugs came out. There was no resolution and rooms were either sold out everywhere else or way too expensive for our price range since a lot of festival people were staying in town that weekend.

The room was clean, comfortable, and nice. The area felt fairly unsafe, people were hanging outside their doors very late into the night partying and being very loud.

I am not sure how to rate this property, lots of strange people in parking lot. After dealing with the such a wonderful friendly (not) desk clerk that seemed to hate her job. The first glance of room wasn’t bad, seemed clean, smelled cleaned so we went to casinos for dinner, came back and the roaches were climbing down the walls. As we checked out in am the desk clerk much friendlier asked if we wanted their grab and go which consisted of a granola bar. But they did have coffee no creamer only black. Would not be my choice of hotels even in Reno.

Bad Decision

Very run down, walls were filthy. Broken tiles in the bathroom very limited parking space. Floors were sticky. We checked out a night early and booked another hotel for the remainder of our stay.

No one really cared about anything. My son lost his key and was able to get a new key to our room without even having his ID. The room had food still in the microwave from one of the last guests(or the employees?) The good news, it's cheap.

The property was not in good shape . Our room was dirty and smelled like cigarettes. Paint was peeling in the bathroom, the lamp shade was filled with stains. The entry door the keep pad was broken on inside off door along with door frame. It looked like someone kicked the door in and it was never fixed. The room had two beds and one bed was pushed up against the heater which is a fire hazard. We went to the front desk to ask for my money back I was not going to stay in a room that was 180 per night plus 100 dollar deposit. The manager of the hotel was rude at first she was not going to refund me . We had to point out all the damage in the room and the fire hazard regarding the bed being pushed up the heater. She mentioned that all the rooms were the same with the beds against the heater/ac unit. End result she agreed to cancelled my two night stay with a full refund of $460. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone
