Comfortable and roomy. Clean and fresh. Would have been nice to have a fridge in the room without having to pay extra for it. Close to CC, airport, and shopping. Don't like the smoke as we walk thru the casino but that is how they all are, unfortunately.

Great staff

I got a promo rate and the room was exceptional value- clean, fresh even though this was not in the newest tower. The hotel staff was the biggest surprise. Everyone I dealt with was friendly and eager to help. They were the most remarkable feature compared to the six other casino hotels in reno I have visited.

Reno NV John Ascuaga's Nugget

They didn't have the reservation until several hours after my arrival so I had to put it on my card again to check in. I asked for a wake up call to catch a flight the next morning and it never came, I set the alarm clock as a back up and the alarm clock was broken. If my husband hadn't called to make sure I was awake at 3:15 am, I would have missed my flight.
