    One bedroom living room area
    Courtney O.

    Brand new, pristine, beautiful property in Reno! Although I was in Reno for a conference at one of the local casinos, I was so happy to stay at the Element. As someone who can be smoke sensitive, it was so nice to have a fresh spot to stay with clean air! One step into a casino and my eyes are burning. Instead, it was nice to have a calm and quiet oasis and this place as a home base to escape to. The property is newly built so everything still feels very clean and modern. I was upgraded to a nice suite that had a lovely living room and kitchen area. The decor was cute and I had a very comfortable stay. In addition, I appreciated that although the amenities are limited, they had a great restaurant and bar in the lobby. I ordered some mac n cheese and a brownie sundae that were both delicious. They also have free breakfast. Besides the basics, they had a crepe station where they were freshly making mini crepes with fruit. It was a nice touch. The staff was friendly and pleasant and it was an excellent stay!

    The Element hotel bar was very cozy! The drinks were very affordable for a hotel bar! I got a glass of wine for $12. This is a nice place to catch up with friends.

    I've stayed here a total of 42 nights recently and honestly it's become my little home base in Reno. The rooms are clean, modern, and have that at-home feel which is amazing for long stays. The front desk staff is always friendly and super accommodating, no matter what I need. I've already recommended the Element to a few friends traveling through and they ended up loving it too. Great location, great service, and consistently a great stay. Highly recommend if you're in the area!

    This hotel in Reno ticks all the right boxes for a business traveler. It's part of a new development--just 18 months old--so everything feels fresh and modern and pristinely clean. The location is ideal: close to the airport, walkable to a movie theater, and a Sprouts for any quick grocery needs. Self-parking was a breeze too. Rooms are efficiently laid out but still spacious, with a comfortable bed, fridge, microwave, and even a kitchen sink--perfect for a quick trip or an extended stay. The hotel canteen offers essentials like charging cords (for $20) in the event you forgot yours, and the bar has a great happy hour to wind down after a workday. The only slight downside was that my room faced a busy road, and even with earplugs, I could occasionally hear loud vehicles. That said, the overall experience was top-notch, and the friendly staff really rounded things out. Would definitely stay here again. Bonus, they had spa water near the elevators. Delicious!

    The Element Reno was a good stop for us. It was a 2 night stay for us. We had made reservations months in advanced. Since we would be there on New Year's Eve, we asked if they could give us a room facing downtown so that we could see the fireworks. It took a while, but, the front desk clerk finally found a room on the 2nd floor. Our room was was nice sized. It had 2 queen beds, a sofa, a small workstation, and a kitchen with an electric stove. The bathroom was nice and modern. Soap, shampoo and conditioner were from Pharmacopia. The room was comfortable. Breakfast is served downstairs in the morning. Like other Element properties, they have a chef that cooks the main breakfast dish. They made avocado toast and French toast the mornings that I stayed. In addition to the one dish the chef makes, they also have breads, fruit, yogurt and coffee & juices. Their gym was well equipped with treadmills, ellipticals and weights. The temperture in the gym was very cold the nights I used it. It was a good gym that gave me a good workout. A pool and hot tub are located outside with people using it in the cold weather. Parking is available outside in the parking structure. It was a good property. We enjoyed it. We even got to see fireworks to ring in the New Year.

    The room and environment were very clean. However, the size was a bit smaller compared to the regular suites we've stayed in. Breakfast was included, but the quality of the avocado toast varied depending on who prepared it each day. On the first morning, it was simply served with egg and avocado spread, but on the second morning, it was much better, topped with cheese, onion, and bacon. When booking this hotel, the description mentioned a hot tub, but it did not meet expectations--it wasn't hot at all. Additionally, the swimming pool was cold and not heated as advertised. While the staff were kind and accommodating, the facilities did not live up to what we had anticipated.

    5 stars for decor, cleanliness, location, and parking. 2-3 stars for the paper thin walls and the amount of pets at this location. I know the hotels are pet friendly but I ran into a dog or cat at every turn. I'm not a fan of hair or slobber either. In addition when the pet is allowed to walk right next to where the coffee cups are displayed - that's gross and I don't know why pet owners aren't more considerate of that. The walls are a bit thin and you can hear people talking outside. We were on the fifth floor and I could hear a conversation on the main floor parking lot. The coffee machine was broken and this is a new spot so that was another little pain point. The plus is the infused water - yummy!!! The room itself is ok. Toilet paper holder is very hard to reach. The lights work oddly and the doors aren't the best.

    After staying a week in a rustic, homey cabin in South Lake Tahoe, it was so nice to come stay somewhere more modern! Even though we were only here for a night, there were some things that we really loved about Element: -Very clean -Sophisticated, modern aesthetic -Free breakfast -Wine, beer, cheese "relax" hour in the evening -Nice amenities - laundry room, gym, pool and hot tub (so surprised people were in the pool in December!), also saw bikes in the lobby but didn't get to use them -Nearby parking garage -Fresh fruit water in lobby -Good location near restaurants, convenience stores, and airport (2 miles) There were, however, a couple minor inconveniences. When I asked someone at the front desk about laundry, she insisted I needed quarters for the machines and proceeded to give me change for $10. When I got up to the laundry room, none of the machines took coins and I realized I could have actually paid via QR code. A bit frustrating to have to carry around a ton of change. Additionally, our late checkout request wasn't noted so our room keys stopped working and we couldn't get into the parking garage. Nothing major, just a bit inconvenient.

    Recent stay over a weekend at this clean, well-appointed and spacious hotel. We stayed in a king studio suite and it had lots of room, a large refrigerator, stovetop, microwave and dishes/dishwasher. Bathroom was good size with walk in shower (no tub). The shower could use a mat, floor was very slippery; but water temp and pressure was good. Large sink area with tons of counter space. King bed was comfortable and lots of blankets and soft feather pillows. Tv was large and had a good selection of channels. Couch in room was full size and comfy for hanging out. Kitchenette even included a small island/countertop with 2 barstool. Desk with power under TV for those traveling for work. Lots of usb and regular outlets in the room too. Central heating and air with digital thermostat. Room was a bit dark when big window was closed/covered for privacy. Staff were friendly and attentive. They have breakfast in the morning and apps in the evening included in the room rate. Nice to have ice water and fruit out during the day as desired. We didn't use the pool or gym this trip but location has both. Parking is great with its own garage (2 level). However if you have a trailer outside the garage parking is very limited. Call the hotel ahead of time if you are bringing a trailer to be sure this policy hasn't changed. My favorite hotel floorplan in this Reno area.

We made a reservation for their Turkish breakfast on Sunday and it seemed like inside and outside was ramping up in busyness. We were seated almost immediately upon walking into the establishment and got to see a bit from the bar and from outside. I've had Turkish food before, but I've never had the experience like this Turkish breakfast. We had Turkish coffee, traditionally strong, and an assortment of bread, cheeses, spreads, Turkish sausage, honey with clotted cream, eggs and pastries. Everything was delicious, savory to sweet. The service was very prompt, our waitress and other staff members checked in on us regularly, brought in new dishes and took the empties away every time they passed by.

Bathroom was nice, bright and clean with soaking tub. Many power outlets to charge electronic devices. TV has lots of channels. Gym. Rock climbing activities for a fee through a separate company in the same building. Very nice staff. Easy check in/out. Relaxed ambiance. No casino attached so you don't have to go through busy, smoky casino lobby. In downtown Reno. Less than a block away to the famous Reno arch sign. Short walking distance from the front door to the big casinos. Cons: Parking garage is across the street, not attached to the hotel itself. Valet costs $25 per day. Self parking overnight is $8 per day. Maybe difficult during the winter especially when having to park next to the curb in front of the hotel entrance. No roof over the drop off at the front entrance. AC system was a bit loud. Price is at least $200 per night.

The J resort had a nice modern look throughout the hotel as you can tell with the modern art work. I loved the screen puzzle that displayed above the check-in desk.

I loved the hall and decor by the elevators but I didn't particularly like the sign in the the elevator that says please don't jump. That kinda makes me nerves as to why would they say that unless their elevators were unstable. The room was nice and clean with a fridge with some complementary water, microwave, and a huge bathroom. It was lacking a safe thought. We went down to the pool but had to bring out towels down as there were no towels by the pool that we saw. Checking out was a but harder as my husband had to call to check out & receipt wasn't emailed until 5 in the evening. It would've been nice to see right away to correct any discrepancies if any.

    Hotel-Lodging Review (mostly):…read more To hear some folks speak on Circus Circus (either here in Reno or the sister property in Vegas), you'd think someone were describing the conditions inside a POW camp or prison. Haven't stayed or patronized the property here in decades. And the primary aim with this stay was getting back into the Caesar's Rewards program as quickly and as economically as possible. Sure, it's an older property with it's proverbial warts, but the stay held appeal for me. And it didn't hurt that I upgraded to a Spa King Suite, located in the Casino Tower. Check-in supervisor Asialene was a sweetheart who set the tone for my 1 night stay. Spa Suites have either an oversized soaking tub or one with jet nozzles (basically a mini whirlpool-jacuzzi). Really relaxing and is always a highlight of any stay, no matter the property. These rooms are huge! Around 680 sq. ft. Like an apartment almost. Easily accommodates multiple adults or a family with the non-king, 2 bed set up. Wet bar, Keurig machine, mini fridge, 42" big screen, a 2nd smaller screen in the master room, two separate toilets in each suite. The climate A/C system works great; no nonsense old-school horsepower blowing from 2 separate units in the suite. Unlike at some of the fancier resorts around town that skimp on the room HVAC output. In short and overall, there's quite a bit of value for what you get here at Circus, comparatively speaking. It serves well a niche for folks not wishing to break the bank for a simple night's stay while in Reno. Sure, other resorts are fancier no doubt, but, you're also shelling out more cash to get that in most cases. My normal go-to resort in Reno is usually Peppermill for example. Stay there several times a year. Which defies comparison to Circus on many levels. But, one thing I actually appreciated about Circus was being about to get where I wanted with a lot fewer steps than at most other fancier resorts. For the same time + distance it takes you to weave from 1 side of Peppermill to the other towers and parking areas for example, you could cover about the same distance between all 3 resorts under The Row (Circus Circus, Silver Legacy & El Dorado) it seems. Setbacks here at Circus like hot & stuffy hallways and lobbies, slow & inoperable escalators & elevators, a dystopian parking garage, closed rewards center & cashier cage (only at Circus, not at Silver Legacy & El Dorado) turned out to be minor inconveniences that were fairly easily overlooked & remedied during the stay. I mean, who really judges a resort by the parking garage for example? Was here for Monday overnight, so most of the shops and some restaurants within the Circus side were closed, owing to the idea that Monday's are typically one of the slowest days of the week. They've also swung the axe on table games here at Circus, a bummer from the heyday where lively floor crowds were the norm. Bartender blamed this on Covid when I inquired. But again, a short walk to either Silver Legacy or El Dorado casinos via the indoor connected walkways solves that riddle. I wasn't on the property long enough to relive the still-active midway-arcade, free circus acts (if they even still have those?), restaurants, etc, so can't comment there. But, it would be a sad day if this property ever closes. And I definitely wouldn't hesitate lodging here again at any of the other properties at The Row.
