10/10 Excellent

"Excellent room."

Western Village Inn & Casino by Peppermill Resorts

8/10 Good

"My new Reno location! Good location and nice and quiet other than a couple of loud mouth neighbors returning from a night of partying. The only issue was the hot water taking a few minutes to arrive in shower … but not a problem once I knew what to expect ."
