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.

We did not even check in. Terrible from outside and area is not good. Very disappointed at the company that puts their name on it! You should be ashamed to put your name on this and then they refused to refund our money.

The continental breakfast is a muffin or Danish. Disappointing. Our shower was broken but they did come and fix it. Cars and city noise was loud, but it is in Reno. Staff was nice. Vending machines all broken. Pillows were comfy bed was decent

Bait and swap, photos on site are heavily filtered
Upon arrival, greeting staff was very timid almost afraid to say anything with eyes down. I asked if things were ok and they just kept heads down and nodded, ok no problem, went to my room had to come back to office because my key didn’t work that’s fine but then in my room the lock and panel weren’t working but the door latch was there so I used that.The two beds inside were ok but the one closest to the window wasn’t choice because The curtain wasn’t wide enough to block the yellow light outside from coming in and the ac vents were also blocked by the bed so the second bed was very warm. Lastly I went in to pay with company card the staff said you’re all set, I was told different when I came in I could pay with different card but that wasn’t the case. A “welp sorry” ended the conversation and I was out. Last min travel arrangements are tough and you get what you get and I understand that, I will use this as an example for my future endeavors.

Price is right???
The hotel looks like a work in progress and the building is split with Travelodge and that is where you register. Conveniently placed at freeway exit, right where the strip starts. Buig parking lot. Rooms are roomy, really clean, bright and really nice. But they are noisy. When someone takes a shower in a nearby room, it feels like it is in your shower. When a door is slammed somewhere, the building shakes. Also, it seems like this side of Virginia st is the start line of a drag race track and all night cars and bikes were randomly revving and speeding away loudly. Breakfast is as usual: a coffee machine next to a juice machine next to a basket of energy bars and other Danish. But price was right!

Nasty smells, terrible property, cockroaches in the room. The staff was nice as could be but when i pulled up, I was in shock by how nasty and ran down the place was. Paint coming off the building and just gross. The Howard Johnson side of the building is pretty much boarded up and you have to go to the Travelodge side. The check in area has an awful smell and immediately made me wonder what the rooms were like. The guy at the counter could tell i was displeased but he was very nice. We ended up getting our room as he said id be charged the full amount if i didn't stay. Went to the room long enough to endure the awful smell of the room, check for bed bugs, which i couldnt really due to a cover they put on all the mattresses... Also, the white bedding was all stained with god knows what... but we left our things and then went exploring town. When my children and i got back to go to bed, we found 2 cockroaches. One was under their suite case and the other on the counter at the microwave. It was absolutely disgusting. The front desk guy was very nice. He told me they were booked and could give me a full refund once the manager got in in the morning but didnt have any other options. Luckily, i was able to book another hotel at 11pm at night so we could get somewhere to sleep. Terrible experience for my self and my poor children.
