Howard Johnson by Wyndham Reno Downtown
You get what you pay for, convenient location. If you arrive late, there's no parking left. The building is exposed in the center, extremely loud. It sounded like the third circle of hell! Bring your earplugs.

Peppermill Resort Spa Casino
Our room was amazing! The jet tub, steam shower and fireplace really added to our overall experience. Food prices are a little high on site but the portions were large enough to share. The spa was great and we really enjoyed our services. For a busy day you still felt like there was enough space ...

J Resort
The room was very clean and spacious. My complaint is not enough bedding. Only one thin single blanket and sheet. Had to have heat up and we prefer a cooler room with heavier bedding. We will stay there again but will take my own extra blanket next time.
