I had been to the Jesse when they were under previous ownership and enjoyed that one visit. So I was eager to see how new management lines up. 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 read more

if you're looking for a traditional chain hotel with all the standard amenities, this probably isn't the place for you. however, if you enjoy unique boutique stays, i think you'd really appreciate the jesse. parking & check-in were simple. the property has a restaurant, bar, & coffee shop on the first floor, with the hotel rooms located upstairs. there isn't an elevator, so you'll need to carry your luggage up the stairs. the room was modern & absolutely stunning. the only real downsides were that the surrounding area can be a bit noisy & the room stayed a little warm, even with the a/c running. that said, the hotel provides both a sound machine & earplugs, which i thought was a nice touch, & the warmth is likely due to the exposed brick walls. overall, if you love boutique-style hotels, i'd absolutely recommend staying here. read more

Came in for Turkish breakfast this morning. First off the food was good. The platters were filled and cold foods were lovely. The hot foods were tasty and showed up in a few waves. The sucuk was excellent. Things felt a bit chaotic but we eventually got there. Service felt a bit spotty after the third time ordering coffee while seeing the other tables getting theirs. We were prepared to do a fair amount of waiting but it was a lot. We were offered water an hour after getting there while about to get our third round on our own so that was nice on an 86 degree morning. Didn't realize coffee and tea weren't part of the breakfast service so just keep that in mind while ordering I think there's room for improvement but the concept and venue are very cool read more

We had seen a post about their Turkish brunch and decided we had to try it. It was a good think we had a reservation because it has been a hit since they started it. We were seated outside on their patio area which was quite lovely. The cold portion of the brunch was set up inside and our wonderful server brought us our drinks and our warm food items. It all was quite tasty and I see a return trip ahead. We looked at their evening menu to see what they have available for then too. read more

Friday night on 4th street and found this absolute gem! 3 of us stopped for a drink at this beautiful bar. Ended up outside for a Latin spinning DJ. So much fun dancing and watching all the great dancers enjoying the music and beautiful weather. Beautiful inside space. Great outside seating. Really interesting drink menu. So much fun! Top it off with Friday night fireworks from Aces Stadium around the corner. Go check them out for an intimate date or group outing. read more

The Jesse has new owners. They decided to do something different for us foodies in Reno and started serving a Turkish Buffet. I can honestly say I did not recognize some of the dishes and could not give you the names of any of them. However, everything I tasted was new to me and delicious! The poached eggs on seasoned yogurt was one of my favorites. There was sausage and fruit, a yummy "breakfast" tomato based sauce that went well on many items, along with Turkish coffee. And to top it off bottomless mimosas! We will be back! read more

WOW. The Jesse has just given Reno a fabulous new way to Sunday brunch Turkish style. I managed to make the initial Sunday brunch with friends. The partly cloudy morning was perfect on the huge patio behind the Jesse. Partially covered by a trellis of flowering vines, some tables in the sun and others under large umbrellas. Some seat inside are also available. Enter through the parking lot and you'll be greeted at the patio entrance. I highly suggest a reservation, glad we had them because this gem won't stay a secret very long. Each table received a literal smorgasbord of Turkish breakfast delights. To start, at the bar there was a long table set up with various breads, dried and fresh fruit, nuts and sliced heirloom tomatoes. I recommend a plate from here to share with the table. At the table numerous dishes will begin to arrive. Let's begin- Cheese plate with cheese and walnuts Olives Cherry tomatoes and cucumbers in olive oil Preserves Honey and clotted cream ( the table was cleaning the bowl with the bread) Breakfast spread- so delicious Sucuk, Turkish sausage, perfect bite sizes Mihlama, cheese fondue that ever bite was made more delicious when dipped in Cilbir, eggs in garlic and yogurt. Mmmm Gozleme, a thin stuffed flatbread Borek, my favorite and next to impossible to find in this area, is a very flaky pastry with cheese Simit, sesame seed ring Bread slices Cay, Turkish tea, incredibly hot Tea Coffee Turkish Coffee, also incredibly hot and powerful Mimosa The service was beyond fabulous, we had various staff members checking on us throughout our leisure hour and a half brunch session. Simply a gorgeous spot for a devine meal with friends. Chef Araceli, of Flavor Studio helped create the menu. I wave my spoon to her, she has outdone herself once again. Say hello when you see me, because I am definitely returning. Limited parking in the private lot. I recommend street parking across the street on Evans. read more

Visiting family and they brought us here for Salsa Lessons. Absolutely fun. Great space in and out. Extremely clean. Awesome cocktails and staff. Excellent selection of spirits and creativity put in. A bit slow on the service but enjoyed the wait talking with everyone. Food was brought out temperature appropriate and was flavorful. Fries a guilty pleasure for me that I don't often indulge in was well with the order. Only comment during salsa lessons we were always changing partners. I get why for the social aspect but my party wanted to stay partnered up so we could Practice wirh each other. Suggestion is during the lesson have a section that are willing to switch partners in a section that want to remain with their partner. This place is a definite try and we will be back when visiting Reno in the future. read more

We came here for a fun girls happy hour and we even themed it up with a Mrs Roper night. Super fun place with hotel rooms upstairs. Great bar area and outdoor patio. Private parking lot with limited spaces, but convenient. The staff are all friendly and helpful. Britt was fantastic behind the bar and Brock was a fabulous server. He really was great with explaining food, taking our orders, and even getting us to-go containers. The food was delicious and lots of variety. We even met the owner John who came out to speak with us. Overall a great night filled with laughs, great food and drink, plus amazing memories. We will be back. read more

Went to The Jesse this morning for the first day of their Turkish Breakfast and I was impressed with the food, ambiance and service. This is a brand new experience for The Jesse, where they served us a spread of Turkish items that were all delicious. This included olives, a tomato salad, 6 different cheeses, spinach pie, eggs, gozleme, assorted breads and dips, sausage in addition to bottomless mimosas, Turkish coffee and tea. All for $30. Everything tasted great. It sounds like this may have been a special for their first time offering a Turkish breakfast so I'm excited to see if and how this changes going forward. read more

Laughlin as a room was laughably loud. I could hear everything on the street. Motorcycles, cop cars, regular cars, even conversations. It was the loudest hotel room I've ever stayed in: Vegas. California, New York - Manhattan, Brooklyn - no comparison. And this was on a normal night. The walls were so thin that even though I wore earplugs all night I could barely sleep. The next night I understood why a sound machine was bedside. I plugged it in for white noise and it helped a little. I'm sure it's a great bar at night, i.e. the rest of the reviews. Not a great hotel. I understood why no staff is present and there's no front desk. They'd have complaints every night; there are two other street-side rooms. I let management know via email and they offered coffee and "breakfast" the next morning. They also offered 15% off a future stay but why. I booked direct and paid $80+ more a night than usual. How about a partial refund? What was very disappointing was no coffee in the morning for two days. I booked this hotel in part because there was a cafe downstairs. The cleaning woman, who was the only person on staff present, said the baristas just didn't show up. I got a croissant before I left and the fill-in barista, though very sweet, had no experience. They said this a few times without any prompting and I tipped them well and felt sorry they had to show up and try to figure out the espresso machine. Though it was no fault of theirs, this hotel really didn't live up to its aesthetic or basic services. I wouldn't have even written this review if management didn't have the audacity to text me twice during my workday asking for one. So, here you go, Caner. Please stop now. And Yelpers. don't book a street-side room at this hotel. read more

What what an amazing experience we had at the restaurant. Came in with a friend for a coffee and stayed chatting with barista Matea! He made our coffees and they were excellent!

I love the Jesse, the patio is so spacious and is a great spot to soak up some sun with some friends. I also love coming to the Jesse for salsa nights and hope they continue to do those! I actually really like the updated menu to Mediterranean as I always found the tacos to be too expensive. The feta fries are a must really crispy and the zaatar seasoning is great. We got the beef kebab platter the pitas were yummy, tangy red onion, the beef was a little tough though too chewy but the veggies were amazing and everything looked great on the platter altogether. My passionfruit margarita was delicious and well balanced. The drinks still hit and I'm excited about the mediterranean/middle eastern flair. If only they had khachapuri on the menu then my day would really be made! read more

I went to the launch of their new Turkish Sunday Brunch and was blown away. It's a price fixed menu for such a reasonable price point. You don't order off menu--they just start bringing stuff out. There was a cheese plate, tomato and cucumber salad, cheese fondue, sausages, a puff pastry with cheese, stuffed flat bread, and my personal favorite, soft boiled eggs with yogurt and a nice spicy garlic drizzle. They had some amazing dipping options like tahini, Nutella, cream with honey, and this magical Smokey tomato spread. Inside was a beautiful grazing table with even more breads and dried fruits. You can top the meal off with mimosas, Turkish coffee and Turkish tea. The staff was welcoming and friendly and we sat on the patio, which was a perfect setting. If you're looking for a unique Sunday brunch experience, there's nothing like it in Reno. Reservations are recommend, as they were sold out the day we went read more

The Jesse is a boutique hotel and bar (with Mediterranean bites), just three blocks off of the main drag (Virginia Street) in downtown Reno. I visited the bar and beautiful outdoor patio (not the hotel) in late August, with the one-and-only Michael T. I believe that the concept was previously Mexican (named Estella), and the rebrand to Mediterranean is new. We visited on a surprisingly quiet, spectacularly beautiful summer Tuesday night. We enjoyed cocktails and a sampling of their newer Mediterranean menu (hummus, falafel, salad, and more!). The drink menu was inspired and the cocktails cooled us down on a warm evening. The bites were made with fresh and flavorful ingredients. We lounged outside on the pretty, enclosed patio. We were shocked that it wasn't busier. If you live in Reno, you should check them out. I'll defintely be back the next time I'm in town. And, helpful to know: they have a private parking lot adjacent to their building, so no need to battle downtown parking. Cheers! read more

Dinner on a Friday night did not disappoint. We were surprised to see lots of open seating. We enjoyed dolmas, Chicken sis Kebab and a Mediterranean Pizza along with a glass of wine. The service was friendly, prompt and attentive. Mediterranean menu. The bar area is visually pleasing. Piped music was at the right decibel and provided a good vibe. There is an outdoor patio with plenty of seating that would be enjoyable during nice weather. There is limited parking in their lot and street parking and bowling stadium parking is near. Happy we gave it a try. read more

We came to this place on a Sunday evening for my friend bday. I appreciated it being open on a Sunday evening, as many other places weren't. There were only one other couple there, but they had a dj going, which was interesting. He did a fine job, but it made it really loud to try and talk to my friend. Also, this place is modern and beautiful inside. We appreciated the private parking lot, as parking on the street seemed sketchy at best. I felt very entitled sitting lit up in the window eating and listening to music and watching so many homeless people walk by. It always tares up my heart. We were slightly confused becuase we had heard you could order tacos from this place, but that's the place next door that closed. This place only does Greek inspired food. Service was good. We asked for extra pita bread and tzatziki. Their pita bread is so superior to any other I've had. They FRY it. Yes FRY it! My friend is big on Greek food and chose this place. I'm just not big on Greek food in general. The yogurt chicken kabob was charred pretty good but had little flavor. The chick pea meatball things were hard on the outside. It was strange to me. They did give us coupons to come back to free coffee. And their outdoor area is adorable. We will be back just for that for sure. read more

Cute little coffee shop that served old world coffee beans. Love that I have another option to walk over from silver legacy where I usually stay. . I like coming here for the old world coffee expresso and I do like ordering a ice Americano and it is a really great solid espresso drink. It is under $6 around $5.41. It is served all day so I like how there is another option where I can grab a good espresso coffee other than Starbucks while staying near the casino. . The Ambiance here is really nice and I do love the inside where there is plenty of seedings and is very cozy and warm. They have a really nice outdoor patio where it is very relaxing with lots of comfy couches and high tables as well. You can dine outside or Dine inside. I like using the patio during the late afternoons and before Sunset as well to come here in the morning and having a morning coffee with a really nice outdoor patio vibe. The service here is great and they are always friendly and ready to serve you some good coffee. Hope this review helps and thanks for reading and have a yelptastic day. read more

Our stay was excellent as always. I bring my Labrador, Lilly, and she is treated like the queen she is! The food is always great, and the servers in the restaurant are all friendly and helpful. The owners are very accommodating and responsive. And the rooms, of course, are beautiful! Other reviews mentioned the noise. But it's a city. There are white noise machines in the rooms for those who need them. City noises don't bother me. Today I am relaxing with a cold beverage outside the hotel in the shaded arbor on the patio. Relaxing music is playing and there's a slight breeze. I couldn't be happier! read more

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was disappointing from start to finish. Upon arrival, I immediately texted management to report two issues: the bathroom blinds would not close because the cord was broken (I am a girl with a floor to sealing open window), and the air conditioning was not working properly. Despite reaching out right away, responses never happened and unhelpful. Eventually, I was told the AC was simply on the wrong setting, even though I had already spent time troubleshooting it myself and even looked up the unit instructions online. The larger issue is that when I checked out, I was told I would receive a refund due to the problems experienced during my stay. Later, after they inspected the room, I was informed that because the blinds could be manually adjusted and the issues were supposedly "fixed," they would not honor the refund that had been promised. I traveled here for a work event and was looking forward to staying in a new area, but the lack of responsiveness, the maintenance issues, and the failure to follow through on what was communicated at checkout left a very poor impression. If you value prompt communication, properly maintained accommodations, and management standing behind what they tell guests, I would recommend looking elsewhere. Also the food was mediocre and I had to reorder a drink 2x and both times it was the wrong drink. read more

3/7/2025: The Jesse Hotel, Reno NV--Renault Double Queen Suite. 1. Downside: Historical Building doesn't have an elevator for ADA Guests; no hotel accommodations located on first floor/street level. 2. Restaurant Bar: Millenials' local hangout; bar is packed! 3. Cuisine: TAPAS--$8.00 to $12.00 for petite servings. A. Wait time: Fifteen minutes for First-Born Daughter receiving her three Tapas. B. Ten minutes later, I was wondering where is the steak and potatoes and when will it be served???? Never arrived . . . WTH~Male Waitstaff never annotated the steak and potatoes on the Restaurant Bill! C. First-Born Daughter had to hail another Male Waitstaff ordering the steak and potatoes, i.e., waited another ten minutes receiving the steak and potatoes: Egregiously disappointed not receiving the steak and potatoes tostada when First-Born Daughter received her three Tapas, the steak and potatoes' portion was shocking minuscule for a "tostada," and the steak and potatoes' presentation was obviously lacking--the steak and potatoes was plopped in the center on a black oval plate, less than a dollop of green chile verde salsa and two slivers of onion adjacent to the steak and potatoes! D. Chocolate Pie was served in a mini-flan ceramic dish; serving was just a miniscule as the steak and potatoes Tapas, I took a mini-spoonful, turned my nose up--ANNI MOGO, shoved the mini-flan ceramic dish to my First-Born Daughter who ate a couple of bites which she didn't finish: Strangely odd, the pie ingredients had chili mixed into the chocolate . . . Weird flavor which tasted rudely off-putting . . . AUGH~My lips were burning from eating the chocolate pie . . . WTH!!!! 4. Pear Cactus Margaritas: GET BOMBED FAST and slither underneath the table! Stay the night in the hotel upstairs, i.e., the inability driving is serious--DO NOT DRIVE! 5. Nice hotel accommodations; however, sirens woke me up several times during the night, i.e., I did not enjoy a peaceful sleep. 6. Jesse Hotel: Reminiscent to the Mount View Hotel, Calistoga CA sans swimming pool and spa. Building has ADA parking and a dozen parking spaces. 7. Coffee Bar ROCKS~Coffee Owner owns three coffee shops in Reno, Nevada. read more

My husband and I were our house shopping and decided to stop for the night. A quick Google search brought up the Jesse Hotel- it looked so cute and the bonus was the bar downstairs. We booked same day for a great price, had a smooth check in and found the place no problem. This place is SO cute, but old. You will hear the bar a little and some outside folks, but I would absolutely stay here again. So cute, comfy bed, convenient location- close enough but far enough away from down town. read more

The Jesse - Feb 2026 - Hotels Near Me - Reno, Nevada

This review is for people staying at the hotel. Good- The Jesse is really charming. It's an old building that has a gated outdoor seating area and a restaurant/bar downstairs. The room was clean, thoughtfully decorated and the bed was exceptionally comfortable. Now the not so good-This boutique hotel does not have overnight staff. At 9:30 guests are unable to access the indoor hotel area or outdoor, fenced space. It is noisy bc it's located beside a bus station. Many transient peps. If you need to go out and about at night...you may want to reconsider or have a plan for safety. Overall I enjoyed my stay. Bartenders were fabulous! read more

For how long I've lived in Reno, I haven't come to The Jesse for cocktails before (wild I know). They have a dedicated parking lot for patrons of The Jesse but it fills up quick. Inside is so pretty cute little bar, with warm and cozy lighting. They have a small food menu with appetizers and then larger shareable items. We opted for the Gyro Platter. Phenomenal! Served with pita, tzatziki and tabbouleh. Can't wait to come back ! read more

DOUBLE BOOKED, HIDDEN FEES, LACK OF TRANSPARENCY We booked this venue months in advance for a baby shower, but the week of the event we found out the owner double booked the space, without even communicating this to the in-house planner. We were then asked to adjust our plans and start time to accommodate the owner's mistake. This alone was frustrating, especially given how far in advance we had reserved the space. At the start of the event when the weather turned, the owner moved us to an inside space temporarily. At no point was it mentioned that the temporary movement indoors would come with an additional $500 charge. This was not presented as an optional upgrade with a cost--it was framed as the solution to the situation we were already dealing with. We moved our entire group back outside to the original space out of consideration to free up the inside as soon as weather permitted. Ultimately, we felt backed into a corner, and then forced to pay hidden fees after the event. Lastly, because of the double booking, we didn't even have full access to the indoor space. Part of the venue was occupied by the other group, so we were limited to the bar area. Charging an additional fee for a space that wasn't even exclusively available felt unreasonable. The owner later claimed they had to turn away guests and absorb costs, but none of that was communicated in real time. Our group cleaned up both spaces, and no additional staff was needed to accommodate the event. None of the explanation given justifies charging customers after the fact for something they didn't knowingly agree to. Overall, the lack of transparency, the double booking, and the surprise charge completely overshadowed what should have been a special day. I'd strongly recommend looking elsewhere for your event as it appears ownership only cares about making money. read more
