Top Reno Hotel Reviews

Nugget Casino Resort

8/10 Good

"Check in was quick and easy. That was the only interaction with staff. We were only there for one night and it was perfect for our time."

Silver Legacy Reno- A Caesars Rewards Destination

8/10 Good

"Room was spacious. Staff were nice and friendly. Keurig coffee maker didn’t work. Shower didn’t have hot water, Luke warm at best, took over 10 minutes for the water to not be cold. One sink was somewhat clogged and drained slowly. The other sink had dried food from previous occupants. None of it prevented us from having a good time but we upgraded to the King bed suite with spa tub, so expected everything to be working properly. We didn’t use the tub since there wasn’t hot water."
