    The vanity mirror was cracked already. I told the clerk at checkout, she didn't seem bothered.
    NB A.

    Location: downtown Reno but not right next to the casinos. It is literally across the street from the Reno Aces baseball stadium and alongside the scenic Truckee River flowing by below the hotel bank. Parking: $15/night. In the multilevel parking garage across the street; the garage also houses business offices. Note: there isn't much vertical clearance; the large pickup trucks I saw were almost scraping the ceiling pillars. Cost: $510 for 2 nights for a regular room with 2 queen beds, nothing special. $205 for a Tuesday night, $215 for Wednesday, and assorted taxes. Front desk/kiosk: on check-in and checkout I can't say the clerks were the most welcoming or personable I've ever met, they just do their job. Room: mostly clean, usual Marriott. But it didn't pass the "white glove test" as the top of the shower curtain bar was black dusty. As was the top edge of the vanity mirror. A/C was frigid. Mini frig worked. No noise. No view, other rooms. Beds: comfortable, pillows not so, hope they change the comforter after each stay. Nightstand electrical outlets: two 3-prong outlets, one worked only if you jiggled the plug. I told the clerk when we checked out. Elevators: 2, not much wait. Hand sanitizer: the only one that worked was on the lobby level, the other floors had units installed on the wall but no push piece and nothing came out - just for show! Starbucks in the lobby but I didn't patronize it. This was my second time staying here. It's in a good location for me, I'd probably stay here again or at an Airbnb.

    The staff here is very kind. I left an item and Kelsey and Sarah were very helpful in getting me my item. Also, the hotel is very clean, quiet, and in a great location. You are just steps away from the action! My husband and I will be back soon!

    Great location, walking distance to bars/restaurants/casinos, ballpark is a stone throw away, among other things. Kaiser was a great pleasure to see upon arrival with his professionalism and smile. Too bad he was on there for a short while, but I'm sure his home location is proud to have him as an employee. I don't recall receiving a welcome amenity upon arrival as a Bonvoy member, but no worries. The room was big, clean, spacious, and hotel staff followed my requests with extra pillows and towels. Since I was there for work my Bistro visits were delightful every time I wanted food or drinks. They also serve happy hour and since the services were limited because of the pandemic, I absolutely had no complaints on the items I ordered. For breakfast the breakfast burrito was filling; eggs, bacon, home fries, and wheat toast is always great way to start the day. In the evening the caesar salad with tomatoes added were good! Major shout out to Petra and Mericio for all of their help. They truly were a highlight to my day whenever I walked through the lobby in passing or when I was going for a happy hour drink, just to sit and chat (when they were not busy), or for a quick bite to eat. For avid coffee drinkers .... hurry up and get the coffee machines working! The pool could look more inviting. The marketplace could offer better options. Can't say that I will be in Reno again but if so this will be a comfortable place for me to stay!

    Staff Friendliness 2 Room 4- something near the bed smelled like sweat... I am a Marriott Gold Member so I try to be loyal, but sometimes it is hard. Great water pressure. My room looked into the courtyard area. Very quiet, but kinda weird.

    Check in was smooth and every employee was very friendly, especially the young guy who works at night. The room was clean and the beds were pretty comfortable. We brought our own pillows and I am glad we did because the hotel pillows were very thick. There are only two EV chargers in the parking garage on the 3rd floor, one J1772 and one Tesla destination charger which is 48A. We were fortunate to find the Tesla charger unoccupied the night we arrived as our car was at 23%, however the other two nights the charger was taken. We were able to charge during the day for a few hours so we made it back home without needing to supercharge. My advice for Tesla owners would be to bring your J1772 adapter in case you need to use the non-Tesla charger. We tried to order food from the restaurant using the QR code in the room but it refused to take our order because it was 15 minutes until closing. It is inconvenient to have the parking garage separate from the hotel. I read that during baseball games (this hotel is right across the street from the stadium) that the parking garage is nuts. Really my only complaint is the poor insulation that caused us to be woken up very early by loud footsteps from the room above us. Oh, and the price at $250/night with a promo code we got from Jam On It (basketball tournament we attended) was kind of high. With parking and taxes it was nearly $900 for 3 nights. I'd be okay paying that for a 4 star hotel but it's really pushing it for a 3.

    Did they remove the pool/hot tub?

    Is this hotel good for kids & is it close to any areas that they can tube and play in the snow? My kids are 6,8 &15.

    I don't believe so. Your best bet is to call the hotel directly and ask them. They will be able to tell you. They have a pool... Good luck!

There are multiple rooms with a kitchen and bar area. I noticed there was an upstairs available too. I was informed that the venue was inexpensive. If you want to have a sit-down meal the space is limited. The weather was nice which meant a lot of people took advantage and were seated outside in the courtyard. The full house not including the kitchen is $90.00 an hour with a two-hour minimum and a maximum of 150 people along with a $500 cleaning deposit which is refundable.

Close to the Truckee River, tucked in a little pocket of Reno by Mayberry Park, we couldn't have asked for a spot that felt as private and serene.

By the fall, the greenery around the venue had filled in, making the area (and all our photos) extra beautiful. The available space can be set up in many different layouts. The ceremony area easily fit our guest list of 40, with room to spare. Then, it doubled as an area for games and later a bit of casual dancing by just moving a few chairs. We loved having a few different but connected areas for guests to spend time together. The owners were so helpful explaining everything about the venue. Many thanks to both for sharing such a wonderful space that is clearly cared for and kept with much love.

We were in the area and saw the big black widow spider and thought what a large Halloween store. But we were pleasantly mistaken - What used to be a bowling alley has now been repurposed into an absolute wonderland of an experience. It's a full blown kid friendly adult friendly haunted warehouse. My 4 year old son had an absolute blast, it starts of with a bit of trick or treating as your making your way through the adventure, then turns into a full on experience as each and every room has a theme from Jurassic park, aliens, robots, clowns, skeletons, a mirror room that I conveniently banged my head into, all the way to the super psychedelic tunnel. Which leads you to the Macabre mansion - for adults and children too. THEY ARE EXTREMELY ACCOMMODATING- asking how scary you'd like the experience to be. Seeing as my Little guy is 4 we asked for no jump scares. And made it through enjoying every bit of the way. My little guy hugged the zombie, high fives leather face and complimented his chainsaw, noting it looked like it could use some oil, but the blood would do. We had an absolute blast. They are doing a Christmas themed experience as well. The owner has a dream, retired and sunk all of her savings into an experience we can all appreciate. I hope to see them sound for many many more years to come. Do yourself a favor and check them out! You won't be disappointed.

There is an indoor space and an outdoor space as well as a covered area which sort of combines both. My friend's wedding utilized all of them briefly. I liked all the small touches like signs and decor and I appreciated that they had some sun umbrellas, unfortunately they all had holes in them. We were looking forward to using the photo booth as well but it was not working. There was a miscommunication by the staff and it caused the wedding to begin much later than planned but they allowed my friend more time at the venue because the mistake was theirs so it all worked out in the end. If you are looking at using this venue, I tried to include as many base photos as possible so you can get a good idea of what you will be working with. I would recommend it for smaller, more casual weddings only. There is limited parking and there are only one or two staff members at most so you and your wedding party will be responsible for a lot of what needs doing. If you are on a budget, this could be a great option, but bear in mind you will have to use their designated caterer for any food. Also, if the lavender blooming is important to you, be sure to check that you are scheduling your event for the right time of the year. Overall my friend was happy with her wedding here and I hope all of you who choose this location will be too! Hope this helps : )
