Top University of Nevada-Reno Hotel Reviews

Grand Sierra Resort and Casino

10/10 Excellent

"Excelente servicio!!"

Eldorado Reno Hotel & Casino - A Caesars Rewards Destination

10/10 Excellent

"The room was spacious and clean. A work desk, dining table and small sofa made my stay totally comfortable. Friendly front desk staff. Will definitely return."

Travelodge by Wyndham Reno Downtown

8/10 Good

"Not a romantic getaway spot by any means, I'd say the nicest budget room in town, great price, great location, great A/C, everything else needs updating and clean up. Staff is very friendly"

Chic Reno Retreat • Steps to UNR + Fairgrounds

8/10 Good

"This property was easy to get to and close to the freeway. The neighborhood was nice, never had any problems. It is close to UNV and we could easily hear the football game happening, but it was a joyful noise and it quieted down at a reasonable hour. If I had anything to nitpick about, it would be that kitchen seating area was not the most comfortable and did not invite you to stay for a long period of time, but we were older and our bodies are older.The beds are small but comfortable. My 6’3” husband ended up sleeping on the couch because the bed was too soft for him, but that’s all about preference.The host was very responsive and provided all the detail we needed. We would absolutely stay here again."

Comfy home,HOT TUB near UNR, Rafael Park,Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The house was clean and orderly. Good directions for checking in and out were provided along with a good house manual. Kitchen was well stocked, even with some spices, coffee, teas. Hot tub and back patio were nice to hang out in. Lots of seating for everyone. Super close to park, playground and arboretum."

Welcome to the Tiny House.

10/10 Excellent

"Super clean and safe. Everything you need, nothing you don't."

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."

Gateway to Mt Rose Ski! Reno Home w/ Fireplace

10/10 Excellent

"Our experience was highly satisfactory. The communication from the host was exemplary, the property was maintained to a high standard of cleanliness, and the beds provided a comfortable sleeping environment."

Cozy 2BR Home Near UNR with Large Deck & Parking

10/10 Excellent

"This is a cute charming home with an amazing back patio. Great location, close to everything"
