The property was not in good shape . Our room was dirty and smelled like cigarettes. Paint was peeling in the bathroom, the lamp shade was filled with stains. The entry door the keep pad was broken on inside off door along with door frame. It looked like someone kicked the door in and it was never fixed. The room had two beds and one bed was pushed up against the heater which is a fire hazard. We went to the front desk to ask for my money back I was not going to stay in a room that was 180 per night plus 100 dollar deposit. The manager of the hotel was rude at first she was not going to refund me . We had to point out all the damage in the room and the fire hazard regarding the bed being pushed up the heater. She mentioned that all the rooms were the same with the beds against the heater/ac unit. End result she agreed to cancelled my two night stay with a full refund of $460. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone

Welcome to downtown Reno :/

We chose this property over others for the free breakfast. This turned out to be a granola bar or little bites mini muffin in a tiny bag. Night staff was helpful and friendly. Morning not so much. Property is let's say, gritty. Unhappy customer kicked in the glass office door the same night.

Should be priced lower

Free breakfast is just energy bars, and coffee. Not worth the cost for a daily stay

Even though the manager helped take the luggage to room, the staff was not diligent. phone line and clock unit "had no life" reported... but was not fixed in two days of stay. Grab and go break fast 6- 9 was a JOKE. Juice fountain was dry at 8:15... no replenishment. Same thing for muffins.. nothing to "grab and go' at 8:15 both days. Asked if more can be provided since its not the end of Grab and GO, a FLAT no. we felt cheated. you should disclose in your SALES website... Grab and till the supply lasts....to be fair. Understand it is low budget place....but no excuse for lack of maintenance of property and non disclosure. One elevator "out" only one by the lobby had permanent heavily dirty streak marks. Only one ice machine for 200 units in the building. Bed sheets were clean for sure!

Terrible Property!

Incorrect listing! This is a Wyndham property and they closed down the Howard Johnson side! There are two sides to the property, and Howard Johnson was on one side, and Travelodge was on the other. Travelodge took it over not good at all! A very rundown property, pictures were incorrect, didn’t accommodate us, not enough ADA parking, uncomfortable, cramped, bad breakfast, even for a ‘to go’! Was very disappointed since I knew what Howard Johnsons used to be like! In fact, it wasn’t Howard Johnson at all!

Room was nice and had been updated. Outside appearance of building was not updated and was actually kinda scary. Not a very safe neighborhood. Breakfast was a joke. Pick a cold danish and go. Since it was a Wyndham Howard Johnson I expected much better. The room was clean though.

Worst hotel ever

Poor security broken doors, was refused a receipt! We checked in on July 16th at 4pm and spent the next 2-3 hours asking hotels.com for help getting a refund and new accommodations, we checked out at 8pm on the same day and was refused a receipt at check out. Come to find out the lady never checked us out, luckily I called the morning of the 17th to make sure we were checked out!

We did not have a great stay at this place. We booked one night and needed to book a second and had a bad experience both nights. Cops were there on site both times we checked in for problems with guests who were staying. The first night we had some random guy banging on our door at midnight trying to get in our room. The area was very loud, cars beeping in the parking lot being towed, cops there frequently, kids running outside at 1am, etc. The second night we had someone try to get into our room again because they were given our room at 10pm after we were already asleep. Then the office came saying they had no record of anyone being in that room so we had to give them our information that we had already checked in. Our kids got scared both nights because of people trying to get into our room. There were homeless people and people doing drugs in the parking lot. Rooms were extremely dirty, windows were not safe, the door frame and lock had been busted off our second room and poorly fixed to wear the door didn’t close all the way. We had a terrible experience and do not recommend this place.
