J Resort

6/10 Okay

"Too many things to list that need improvement...terrible bed, malfuntioning smoke alarm in the middle of the night. Old slots that do not pay out. No beverage machines on gaming floor. Shower door does not seal; water poured out onto floor. Best thing were the girls at the starbucks; friendly, super helpful, great drinks."

Peppermill Resort Spa Casino

6/10 Okay

"This hotel resort isn't for the weak at heart. The rooms are very far away and very hard to get to. To get to my room, I had to walk down a long hall and take the elevator to the third floor, Then I had to walk down a walkway to the next elevator and take it to the 2nd floor and walk to the other end of the 2nd floor hallway. We never found the pool or hot tub. Ridiculous set up. The food was just okay, and you had to have reservations to go to any of the other restaurants. The casino was fun. They picked us up at the airport which was good however they dropped us off at the other end of the airport and was a very long walk to check in. I don't think I would stay there again because of the distance to get to my room."

Circus Circus Reno – A Caesars Rewards Destination

2/10 Terrible

"Do not stay here! This hotel is dirty, outdated, and feels more like a Motel 6 than a resort, yet they still charge resort fees. We booked what was advertised as a “luxury room” and felt completely misled. The shower constantly clogged, and there was a suspicious white stain on one of the chairs that was so concerning we covered it with towels because we had young children with us. To make matters worse, we woke up with multiple bites. We can’t say for certain whether they were from fleas or something worse, but it was enough to make us very uncomfortable. For a hotel that markets itself to families, there isn’t even a pool for the kids. The arcade and carnival-style games were also ridiculously expensive. Front desk service wasn’t helpful at all, holes. Holes in the sheets, and janky elevators. Overall, the property feels neglected, overpriced, and far below what was advertised. I felt completely scammed and would never stay here again—even if they paid me to. Save your money and stay somewhere else."
