The employee that was working the night I checked in was so rude and unprofessional. There was no greeting he barely spoke to me and when he did he was mumbling and I couldn’t understand him. He was not helpful regarding parking either. The hotel is in a terrible area and I felt super unsafe leaving my car far away so I ended up just leaving. And they won’t give me a refund.

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.

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.
