Top West University Hotel Reviews

J Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Very attractive property. Lots of free parking. Two restaurants on-site. Casino games options as you'd expect. Room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Good beds with nice linens. Always helpful people at the front desk. I didn't realize we'd just missed the pool's open season, and with the heat during our stay, we really wanted to swim. I wish the hotel registration didn't require a walk through all the cigarette smoke, but not sure what they could do about that. Overall, we were very pleased and would stay again."

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."
