How bad can bad be?
We went this last weekend and the hotel was terrible. The rooms are old/ugly. We arrived at the hotel around 10:00am. The desk told us our r...
If you like hard beds this is the place for you, if you have a bad back you will want to say elsewhere. the room was clean and so was the bath.
We went to Reno for the Jul 4th weekend and after a bad exper. at the hotel we booked last minute online we switched over to the Sands for the 2nd night. The room was very spacious with plenty of space, especially for a room with 2 queen beds. The carpet was dirty/stained but other than that, the room was a good value for the rate we paid (less than on a holiday weekend night, last minute). Plenty of free parking, close to downtown casinos, Arby's Restaurant (and others) in the hotel. It's by no means a 4 star hotel but if you're looking for a casino resort/hotel within 2 blocks of the casino/downtown area at a very affordable rate then this hotel will do. Our room had a small table we used for the laptop, a couple of chairs, two queen beds, large dresser, TV, nightstand, room service privacy drape, small vanity & chair outside the bathroom, large bathroom with tub & shower. The one small complaint I had was the amount noise coming from other guests as they would come/go from their rooms...the door doesn't filter out much noise at all.
I woke up with bug bites all over my feet. When I called the front desk about it they were extremely rude. I would not recomend anyone stay there. Every!
Large hotel with nice rooms - very reasonably priced. Why? Did they want us to lose money in their casino? Well, after heavy struggle with poker combinations, after several rises and falls, I lost 2. But my friends won 11.50, and we spent 15 on drinks in their bar. Did we win or lose? Anyway, staying in this hotel on our way to California was a smart decision, I think. Excellent value for the money.
Enjoyed the stay, people at hotel friendly and helpful.
Room size is decent and good decor. Biggest problem is the heating unit is so loud that we could not sleep well.
Price is great, wonderful staff
Rooms are big and clean lots of towels and great maid service.. Wish they had coffee in rooms. Room service is $4. a cup , Mels diner servers g...
