J Resort

6/10 Okay

"The room was very nice. The gift store was always closed. Restaruant and bar staff seemed very unorganized and consequently service was spotty. Pool area not inviting and in need of updating."

Plaza Resort Club

10/10 Excellent

"We r Nv locals that have stayed here several times over the years whenever we want a Reno overnighter. We love the location close to the river and walkable to so many great eateries, museums, and colorful pubs. Biking along the river is just one of the available outdoor activities. The beauty of the hotel’s woodwork and amenities on 7th floor including a huge indoor pool, fitness room, billiards table, AND quiet speakeasy bar with a history all its own are just a few of the amenities. So nice to stay in a “Euro/ San Fran style resort that is NOT a casino."

Circus Circus Reno – A Caesars Rewards Destination

6/10 Okay

"Rooms were clean but they need updated sheets and better soap restaurant area was not as clean as we’d like but it was open late which was great. Staff at hotels and restaurants were nice.. All in all a good reliable and affordable stay"
