The outside is a bit sketchy but the room itself was decent. Didn’t have any issues with bed bugs or roaches as other people have complained about. I was there for 4 nights and no complaints.

A decent room for a decent price. This property is actually 2 hotels in one U-shaped building (Howard Johnson and Travelodge) and they share a parking lot. The room was clean and had a lightly mod aesthetic. The shower had good water pressure and temperature. The free breakfast in the front office wasn't a huge spread but hey, it's free!

You get what you pay for, convenient location. If you arrive late, there's no parking left. The building is exposed in the center, extremely loud. It sounded like the third circle of hell! Bring your earplugs.

Very convenient location in downtown Reno. It was walking distance to everything I needed. The staff were very helpful. The telephones in the room do not work. I was only trying to use the phone to call the front desk to get the wifi password which was not given at check-in. Clean and soundproof facility.

Parking was an absolute nightmare, and most of the staff either didn't care about any concerns we had or were under the influence of drugs or some other substance. The room had damages upon arrival and when notified they brushed it off and said "oh we know we wont hold it against you" Provided TP had chemical stains on it as well! I would NOT recommend ANYONE stay in this establishment.

Small, limited space. Floors were dirty (I walked around with my socks and they got really dirty really fast). Limited outlets to charge or connect anything that requires power. The sheets looked dirty/stained. Perks is that is walking distance to restaurants and downtown.
