Peppermill Resort Spa Casino

10/10 Excellent

"I love this resort no need to leave the property for anything. Everything is super clean and staff is super friendly. Only down side was that they don’t have much shower needs in there little store. Make sure u bring ur body wash and shampoo if u don’t like hotel shampoo body wash"

Ramada by Wyndham Reno Hotel and Casino

8/10 Good

"Biggest issue I had were the people hanging around outside. Just seemed a little seedy. The snack and soda amenities are pretty much non-existent. I asked for a refrigerator to store diabetic medical supplies, but they wanted me to upgrade my room for that. Not a chance!! They had some sort of air freshener throughout the entire building that was a bit on the heavy side which was a turnoff. The diner there is great! I had a cheese steak one day and their pancakes and sausage special the next day and they were delicious!"
