Untolerable cigarrete smoking outside my room!
Nice costumers service but the room itself is not, the room smells smoking…and the room neighbors smoking on the patio outside our room… we didn’t sleep good because of smoke, we have to turn off the aircon because we feel suffocated due to smoke coming from outside…some other issues on the things are tolerable…

There was NO stay. I booked a room for my daughter and 4 others as they were stuck in Reno until the next day. Due to the bank being closed for Labor Day, there was no way for them to get money. When they got there they were told that they would have to pay an additional $100.00 deposit. I offered to pay it with a card and was told the card had to be present. They ended up sleeping in the car and I am out the money. NOT a happy person.

Scary location, noisy rooms.
We stayed here because we needed a non-frills, affordable hotel. We will not be back. The service at the desk was ok. The two times we had to go to the desk, there was one person at the desk, a line of guests, and the phones ringing off the hook. The gal working the desk was doing the best she could to keep her head above water. I have nothing bad to sat about her, but 2 people maybe helpful. Our first room smelled like pot. The kind lady at the desk moved us to a different room. Our biggest complaints were the location (we were not familiar with Reno) and the noise. We already did not feel very safe, but night 1 we woke up to noisy cars, sounded like they were racing, and then a baby crying... the least sound-proof hotel room I have ever stayed in. Night 2, we literally woke up to the sound of gunshots. Will not be back.

Beware. Pictures are deceiving. Run down property, stunk like cigarettes. Floor was filthy, it appears floors haven’t been mopped ever. My grandson wore no shoes or socks while in the room and his feet were black! Used my Lysol wipes to clean up liquid I spilled, wipes were completely black. Just a run down property all together. Staff complained that their co-workers either quit or didn’t come in. Nasty place and I left a day early bcuz I couldn’t stand staying there. Sketchy people also hung around the property. Windows were closed but heard people all night yelling and talking like it was daylight. Lesson learned.

If don't want any sleep this your place. If enjoy people smoking outside your room and taking loudly at all hours of the night this your place. If you enjoy people sitting in there cars bumming there stereos this is your place. There's no security. The pictures on the website are very deceiving. The suppose breakfast is a joke. I can't believe Howard Johnson/Travel Lodge associates their name to this place.
