Top West University Hotel Reviews

J Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Smelled like pee outside the building when we first arrived, but other than that, everything was amazing"

Western Village Inn & Casino by Peppermill Resorts

8/10 Good

"A good place to stay in the Reno/Sparks area if you want to avoid the big places. Good price for a perfectly decent room, although like all of these places there's just the slightest presence of cigarette smoke from years past which is just slightly irritating to the throat of a sensitive soul such as myself. Great shower. Knobby towels. The bed was very comfortable but the linens were slightly scratchy, I couldn't sleep naked. I used the free coupon for a drink at the casino bar (smokey enough to really annoy me so I didn't stay long) but there's no such thing as a free lunch - the bartender asked for the coupon plus one dollar. I guess you pay extra for a fancy cocktail like a White Russian, so of course I just took it out of the tip I was planning to give him. It was pretty good though for being pretty weak."
