It’s a casino hotel. If you like casino hotels you will like it. If you don’t like casino hotels then you won’t. They manage to keep the smoking smell as mild as possible in a place that allows smoking, the staff are nice and helpful and the place was very clean. My only critique would be that it would be nice to have a Native American museum or learning area as it’s a Native American casino. If you didn’t know state laws about gambling you’d think Reno just built a casino smack dab between Roseville and Lincoln.

Half the pool and all the spa was restricted to 21 and up for no reason. This was not advertised when booking so resulted in some very disappointed children. Also - all restaurant options are accessed from the casino floor which is very smoky. AVOID THIS PLACE WITH KIDS

Having a key to get to your floor was such a good feeling of security. Rooms were exceptional. Only issue was the parking garage. Several times we had to stop SUDDENLY for cars that just driving too fast. Speed bumps might help that issue in time

I would have given higher rating, but the internet went down the first day and never came back up. The pillows were so uncomfortable and hard I had to sleep without one. The furniture wasn’t too comfortable either.
