This hotel is in a great location , however it feels like it’s long overdue for a Reno - also the staff seemed to care less whether you were there or not- not an impressive hotel

From the second we arrived, we were greeted and helped with our luggage inside the front desk. People were efficient and friendly and knowledgeable and asked about recommendations.. room was plenty big enough large bathroom. Ate at the restaurant on site very delicious. Everything just went very well and the rate was really good.

Decent hotel but poor experience
The hotel changed my reservation to a different (less desirable) type of room and did not offer me any discount or concession. The key cards would become demagnetized if they came anywhere NEAR a cell phone. We were there for 3 nights and I think we went through about 15 cards. It was incredibly inconvenient. Staff told us they were going to be switching the card system. I’ve never had that happen anywhere else.
