Top Old Southwest Hotel Reviews

Peppermill Resort Spa Casino, WorldHotels Elite

10/10 Excellent

"The Peppermill has an older section and a newer section. I stayed in the older tower and it was fine. The hotel offers a good range of restaurants and obvious gaming. It is not really walking distance from the center of downtown, but makes up for it by offering a mega resort feel. Room was quiet too, no complaints."

Aiden by Best Western South Reno

10/10 Excellent

"I came to the property straight from a medical procedure, earlier than expected. Staff found me a room that would work, which worked for me! Two Chicks, the on-site restaurant, serves creative locally sourced egg dishes. First class. For dinner the nearby Great Basin brewpub, also with local creativity infusing a deep menu, is reliably excellent . Skiers upon Slide Mountain will like Aiden."
