J Resort

The room

The pool was closed!

This is my review of J Resort Reno: 1. Check-in was very smooth. I was happy that they upgraded me to a Suite Room. My original room was a standard king room (probably located at Birch Tower) and they assigned me a Suite Room at Cedar Tower. I was very happy with all my interactions with reception staff. They were helpful and friendly. 2. I have encountered none of the nuicences cited by others: no construction noise (I think this is true overall, there were no substantial construction activity during my stay). No food odor (this may be due to my room being at Cedar Tower) in the hallways and in fact the odor was quite mellow at the buffet. No suspicious characters hanging out the hotel. The hotel surrounding and the parking lot seemed very safe to me. The wifi worked very well. Much better than some other hotels I stayed. 3. Surprisingly, Reno downtown was very safe compared to downtown areas of some other US cities. You see some homeless looking persons here and there, but very few and not threatening at all. You could walk from the hotel to other areas in the downtown without any problems (at least that was the case when I was there). 4. I found Hanna's Table to be quite reasonable, both price-wise and food-wise. I've had two breakfasts and three lunches there and I've tried a variaty of options. I never felt I am payimg more than any other average diner in town. 5. OK. This is common point raised bu other reviewers: there is no daily cleaning. I can confirm that this is indeed the case. Contrary to other reviews this did not bother me. I was travelling alone. If I was with family and kids than I am sure that I would have preferred daily cleaning. In my case, I emptied trash to a trash bag and dumped myself and I asked for extra towels, water and coffee at the reception, which were delivered quickly. In conclusion, J Resort Reno is a very good choice when staying at Reno. Newly renovated and much reasonably priced than other competitive hotels.

Casino seemed a little older than expected, but rooms were very nice, spacious, and clean. Seemed like rooms were brand new.

This is my main stay in Reno. Great location and really nice rooms. The casino is no huge and it’s not filled with smoke. Hannah’s table is a pretty good place to eat.
