My stay in December was polar opposite from my stay in November. They are currently transitioning from Glo by best western to now by holiday inn. The Reno was not advertised- they had two floors closed. Used the ONLY luggage cart for carrying trash by the contractors to the garbage. My room had zero heat and they only compensated my pet fee back as they had no rooms to move me too! Their amazing breakfast was not served due to weather so we had to go get McDonald’s before hitting the road. The gentlemen working nights is amazing but I physically had to find workers in the am to check out and discuss my stay. Depending on policies etc with the change to holiday inn I may or may not return. Bummer because was hoping I could keep this on my list for my yearly trip.

Hotel is under renovations which we were not aware of when booking. The fitness room was not available due to this and we wanted to use the facility. Breakfast was also not provided during our stay due to the renovations. Otherwise the staff was friendly and the room was fine as we bought out dog and needed a pet friendly hotel.

Wi-Fi was not working, and the guy worked in the front desk. Didn’t seem to really care and said that there’s not anything you can do about it. If he really wanted, he could give me a phone number. I could call… In the morning when I went to get up and get going to start my travel day, I discovered they only put decaf coffee Pods in our room, and despite the room being for two adult and having 4 cups, there was only one cream and sugar. The room was fine, spacious, big, a little oddly laid out… But it was the real lack of service that brought my rating down to a three star.

The room was clean, I usually always stay there. On my way to visit family in South Carolina, staff has always been friendly, earlier this year, in July, my son left his iPad, there, the staff called and we picked it up on our way back through.
