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. Happy to have seen the changes this business has gone through and hoping to make Turkish Breakfast in my weekly rotation

It was pretty modern compared to some of the other Marriott's I've stayed in. A lot of space in the room but I feel the restroom could have needed a bit more space. It has all the things you could want, fridge, space to make out your clothes away, security safe. They have a small section in the lobby in case you want sodas or snacks. If you are in Reno on a quick trip I'd def recommend this place. Next time I come I heard the sushi place across the street is pretty good. PS. Didn't give it a 5 star due to the thin walls. You can hear almost everything in the morning when people are starting to move around

Water bottle filler in the gym. Wall AC. Microwave and mini fridge. Lots of homeless in area and sleeping on the river. Lots of bugs. Views are nothing- trees you can barely see water. There is a nice side patio by the river but bugs are plentiful. Parking is only $15 but you have to go outside and in the elevator to the garage across the street. Coffee shop across the street opens at 7ish. Courtyard "Starbucks" opens at 6:30 but again the staff is :( Room had a broken light fixtures and all the soap holders in the shower was loose with screws out. Also, the room stank whenever I came back so maybe shared with a stinky neighbor? Would I stay here again by choice? No.

    Breaking down the review between the pros and cons: Pros:…read more very clean hotel. Updated, modern rooms. Comfortable beds. Two double bed rooms was spacious for two to three people. 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.

Level 2 has a rock climbing experience for those that are not afraid of heights. Have fun! Our room was large and well equipped. A fridge plus a safe are nice to have. AC kept the temperature where we like it and the curtains kept it dark late into morning. It was also quiet day and night. A giant plus for us is the dog friendly policy, awesome. We have already booked a stay for us and family during Hot August Nights to better take in the action without having to drive. You might think about that.

This is not a music venue that is temporary, they have put effort into having a permanent location for shows. There is a lot of parking in the area for the hotel/casino and is available for concert attendees. The audio was done well, especially for an outdoor venue. Up front near the stage the subs were really kicking. The tops were bright and clear, they could be heard quite a way away form the stage. Some front fill monitors brought audio to the front of the audience where the flown arrays didn't reach. There are challenges with rigging, power, and dealing with weather that have been well thought out. JMF Entertainment did a great job.

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. They had a nice screen I noticed too whilst at the pool. They have a cool little arcade center for kids and some restaurants here and there as well as a gift shop. 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. Overall, was a good stay for what it was in Reno.

    Circus Circus Reno - A Caesars Rewards Destination

    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.

    Everything The staff is very rude…read moreOnly the wait staff are nice They hotel is unaccommodating Only the rooms and Casino are air conditioned The hall ways are hot No pool Food is expensive and just ok If you cannot walk very well this casino is the worst layout imaginable I would rate it 0 stars if I could

A little awkward for non-couples staying at the suite; only because the beautiful bath tub is displayed next to the window with no cover from the room, and sauna/shower is separated by glass; and completely visible to anyone in the room. To get privacy, need to close the entire large room to shower or bathe. Otherwise; it's a beautiful place; a bit "outdated" but still luxurious. Amenities include, bathrobe, slippers, hairdryer, shower cap, facial soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, mouthwash, tissue, toilet paper (haha; a must!), ice maker, water, fridge, bottle opener, a variety of drinks and snacks in the fridge for a $$$ price, coffee maker with coffee pods. The curtains in the bedroom/ bathtub area has a switch that closes the curtains; it's a nice luxurious touch; too bad the switch is across the room...the bathtub fills quickly and they have a "shower gel" there that can be turned into bubbles as you fill the bath. The temperature of the room was comfortable. Clean and well maintained, apart from some bits of less than luxurious touch up paint jobs here and there. The view is lovely in the daytime and night. I can see the snowy Nevada mountains from the bath in the day. And it's pretty neon lights and watching the cars dance through the lot looking for parking at night. The entire hotel is connected to restaurants and the casino. The even center is just about a two block walk away. I had a lovely time here. Just don't like the casinos and smoking. But it didn't affect my stay in the suite. I can't understand why this hotel doesn't have any reviews or has terrible reviews. My guess would be, the majority of the guests here are here to patron the casinos, and would not pay attention to the stay of this hotel.
