"The hotel was RIGHT off the freeway. The front desk had no layout map to show me, but spoken instructions were clear. The walk to the room was outside, not in a hallway in a building. I was dressed for spring, arriving at 2300. It was cold outside. Breakfast ends at 9. I didn't know that until ..."

"Our room was kind of far from elevators, especially for my friend who has mobility issues. The hallways were kind of dirty and had been patched kind of messily. I liked the building itself and the amenities provided."

"My stay at Howard Johnson by Wyndham Reno Downtown was decent overall. The check-in process was smooth, and the staff were polite, though not particularly warm.

Far superior to staying at a hotel
"Apartment was clean and well furnished. Was much better than renting hotels. Although it’s listed as “sleeps 4,” you have to be tiny people. Both beds were full sized (not queen) and too small to comfortably sleep 2 adults. Size of beds and distance from room to entrance are my only reason for 4/5 ..."

"I enjoyed my stay here but I wish they gave four pillows per bed instead of two. The walls are a bit thin but I think the layout is very nice and putting on music, TV, or some headphones quickly fix that issue. The dining options were great! Casino was lively."
