We stayed two nights here end of Jan and it was way better than I expected. Not that I was expecting terrible but from hear say from others who have been to RENO verses Vegas. We went to Reno to snowboard not to gamble! This hotel is I think fairly new and a little ways from downtown area that I guess was the original RENO hangout? Hotel is huge, gorgeous, clean, and staff was wonderful! This was our first trip Reno and definitely wont be our last.
ROOM: We had a KING SUITE - BIG, CLEAN, and OMG the bathrooms were AMAZING! Probably the best bathroom we have stayed in... we typically stay in higher end Resorts in Mexico, Jamaica, Vegas, etc. It's huge. We will definitely stay here again and for longer. If I had to mention anything negative about the room it would be the very pricey snack bar & fridge in your room and the sensors! We would have liked to use the fridge for our items but it was packed full of very pricey items that had attached sensors on them... if you touched them you were automatically charged. It made for some pretty funny laughs and maneuvers to be sure nothing in the snack bar was touched... but really that was no bother - just thought the sensors were hilarious! And the room was a little too dim for me... This coming from someone who lives for Natural Light! Even with every lamp on it was pretty dark.. Made it a little difficult to get ready but there is a great vanity area in the HUGE bathroom that was perfectly lit and included a FLAT SCREEN to watch while bathing and getting ready too.. very nice!
FOOD: CAFE MILANO was great. We arrived after 9pm and it was the only place open and it open for 24hours. You won't be disappointed. We had BLT w/salads -- YUMMY! Huge portions and decently priced!
We (I) really wanted to try the BIMINI STEAKHOUSE - but my husband did a little research and found that Ruby's Steakhouse right across the street was rated higher and with better prices. It was hands down the best Fillet Mignon & Prawns we've had. Can't wait to go back and eat there again. Now this really is in no way bashing Bimini's because it has great reviews too we just went just went with Ruby's because the pricing was a little better!
That's really it. If you're debating this place, Stop! Go! It's great!
Casino was awesome - again we're not big gamblers but the place was huge. Could careless for the smoking but we were able to find a nonsmoking area hidden ( could not tell you how to get there now) but just ask someone will direct you there. It was a great little bar/casino area with no smoking at all! Much needed!
