Top University District Hotel Reviews

J Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing the best fun ever!!"

SureStay Plus Hotel by Best Western Reno Airport

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean, albeit the carpeting was very worn. The rooms are not totally sound proofed and not all guests are considerate about attempting to be quiet. Still, being this close to the airport and having an airport shuttle at any given hour makes this hotel a winner for me."

Red Roof Reno

8/10 Good

"I was expecting the worst, last minute booking because of a wildfire evacuation. The room was "modern" in appearance with good sized mini fridge, microwave, and coffee maker. The bed was comfortable. Tons of high-pressure hot water. The tub was older along with the interior pain job. Big TV with tons of channels and a super cold A/C."

Welcome to the Tiny House.

10/10 Excellent

"This house was small but not smaller than a hotel room. It had a lovely clean bed, with four pillows and a nice mattress on the firmer side, I slept well. The kitchenette was fully stocked with coffee and tea, and a set of dishes/flatware/utensils/ small appliances. It would have been easy to cook. I didn't, but made use of both the kettle and the keurig! In the bathroom, (squeaky clean) I was provided with two high quality thick towels and a washcloth, liquid body soap, shampoo and conditioner, and there was even a small first aid kit for emergencies. The shower had was tall, the shower stall wide than standard, and the water pressure was strong with good heat. Over all, this place was an excellent find and suited me perfectly. My only challenge was that I was unfamiliar with the lock system, and did to flight delays, I was tired and couldn't figure it out. Martha answered my call immediately, and helped me get in. Great!"
