Top West University Hotel Reviews

J Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was new"

Plaza Resort Club

8/10 Good

"Lovely non casino hotel right in the heart of Reno. Close by to everything you might want to see whilst here. I was kindly given a room on the 18th floor by the lovely gentleman at check in. The staff here are absolutely delightful and nothing is too much trouble. The hotel offers free parking and lots of facilities to enjoy your stay. The room was huge and the bed incredibly comfortable. It also afforded me a lovely view of the city lit up at night. The rooms are a little outdated, think of it like you’re staying with your grandparents for the night, but they’re homely and comforting and it’s like you’re visiting the 1960’s all over again. I really think this adds to the character of the place. Whilst I mention outdated, that doesn’t take away from how immaculately clean and well cared for they are. The levels of cleanliness were excellent. The only 2 things that I didn’t really like was the adjoining door with the room next door (the lady in there was having a BRILLIANT time with several men. I heard every climax of each person involved) I absolutely hate adjoining hotel rooms. There’s always noise. The noise of the elevator going up and down all day and night was the other thing, though this is just the layout of the building. The property offers excellent value for money, character and really nice caring staff. I’d 100% stay here again next time I find myself in Reno."

8/10 Good

"The Wi-Fi did not really work. We had to go to the hook up to the internet. Nothing changed for the time we were there. We booked through Xpedia and had to leave a $100 which was refundable which was unexpected. I used their online check in which didn’t go through and had to give my info AGAIN when I got there."

Cozy 2-bedroom house in Reno near UNR - Sleeps 7

8/10 Good

"Property was cute and clean and very close for move-in weekend at UNR. The portable AC units take a while to cool the place down, so we ended up not using the loft bed because it was too hot for our guest up there. It was about 100 degrees all weekend during our stay so having to keep the bedroom window open for the AC unit to be attached, seemed counterproductive when trying to cool the place."
