Horrible Hotel
Our experience with this hotel was the worst I've ever had I will never ever stay or recomend for any one I know to stay at this establishment again. The staff is extremely rude and disrespectful and made our stay extremely bad.

Great deal thru this site. Free premier upgrade as well. Paid less than $50 per night. Good location right off I-80. Indoor pool was nice feature for my kids. Rooms are bit small but newly renovated east tower was clean and comfortable. Will stay again if same deals comes up.

we love this hotel!
If you are going to stay in the Reno area, stay at the Nugget. The rooms are very nice, the staff friendly, and there is a Starbucks! It is not right in the middle of the other casinos, which we like. I recommend it highly.

Great Hotel at a great price
We checked in and they were very friendly. We were set on the 20th floor I asked for a higher floor the guy was very friendly was able to move us to the 26th. The room was very spacious and clean. The pool was the best I have seen in a long time. The hot tub was very warm. Will go back again for sure

Nice rooms
Very Nice rooms! lost some appeal when we arrived to discover the hotel charges an additional $5 per night fee on top of what we paid to book. Train horns in the middle of the night close proximity. Room service threw away a bag that contained my wifes travel bag, including perfume bottle. We are currently being helped with the recovery of that and feel like we are being treated fair so far.

Relaxing Family weekend getaway
The hotel is very plush and staff very nice. Has everything there Rosie's cafe had good food and service and price was affordable excellent breads and pastries too! The motel was clean the beds were very comfortable. The only thing Id advise if you don't want to be woken up by maid service on saturday or sunday morning at 8:01am be sure to put your sign on door! We were awoken both days and it was hard to go back to sleep other than this its near everything and just a drive to the meadowwood mall and casinos the pool could have been warmer and the 8 individual spas were cool as the pool the big spa was nice the first night friday was a relaxing spa however saturday night there was a staff person but was oblivious to the spa being way over crowded with people having alcohol in the spa drinking it while in there and other intoxicated people not to mention there was no available chairs to sit on my daughter and mother were disappointed in this as they didnt enjoy it as me and my other daughter did the night before it was nice. Better staff supervision and if they kept it open longer than 10pm ! As well as the fitness center they both close at 10pm why?? Alot of people would enjoy using should stay open longer to 12 or always and why a staff person if they dont do anything or watch what people are doing a 16 person spa with 25+ people and more trying to get in ? Other than that its a nice place to stay to relax and is quiet they have a nice bloody mary bar and location and view if you get a premier room! Overall I enjoyed my stay here and would stay again! :-)

Meadowood mall on virgina street is worth going too, if your looking to buy a gift for yourself or someone else lots of shops and prices and sales are great! Also circus circus for kids to play arcade games and watch a show for free!

Beds were nice but the room was drafty. I turned up the heat but room never warmed up. When I called front desk they just said to turn the fan to HI but that didn't work either.
