Hotels in Old Southwest

"From the moment we arrived at Whitney Peak, we knew we’d picked the right place. The location couldn’t be better — right next to the Reno Arch and within walking distance of so many great restaurants, coffee shops, and entertainment. The staff is the standout here: warm, genuinely friendly, and eager to help with anything from dinner recommendations to arranging transportation. It never felt like “just another hotel stay” — it felt personal. Our room was spotless, modern, and spacious, with huge windows framing the city and mountains. The bed was unbelievably comfortable, the linens felt luxurious, and the little touches — like locally inspired decor and high-quality toiletries — made it feel special. One of the biggest perks is that it’s smoke-free, which is a rare and welcome change in downtown Reno. You can actually breathe fresh air as you walk through the lobby. The vibe is relaxed but still upscale, and there’s a cool, boutique feel throughout. The climbing wall outside is an absolute showstopper — even if you’re not climbing it, it gives the place a sense of energy and adventure. The fitness center is excellent, and the on-site restaurant serves a fantastic breakfast and creative cocktails in the evening. All in all, Whitney Peak delivers the perfect balance of comfort, style, and location. Whether you’re in Reno for business, a getaway, or just passing through, this hotel is a breath of fresh air. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else in the city."

"Food was very pricey$$$ but if you win that slot machines you’ll be able to afford it. Other than that service and the bed and rooms were excellent."

"It was a decent place to sleep. It had a wondeful park/lake next to it to walk around. "

"Clean, friendly and very easy to get in an out of"

"Everything was good."

"The bed was not comfortable at all. The casino was very tight, didn’t even win a little bit. The elevator floors were very dirty. The room didn’t have fully stocked towels. Had to call for more towels. All in all, things were ok"

"Loved all the options at Cafe Central at The Silver Legacy. I had the chicken teriyaki bowl. It was so tasty! I also worked out at the gym which was broken down into two rooms-one for machines and the other was the weight room. Great equipment to work out with! Loved the fact that you can walk from The Silver Legacy to El Dorado & Circus Circus to see all the restaurants, shops & casinos, etc.! We just got as far as The El Dorado, but loved all the options to eat."

"The hotel is very nice (I think just a few years old for this renovation). We only stayed one quick night passing through Reno, so we didn't get a chance to use any of the amenities, but the room and hotel in general was great. We first got into a room that looked directly down on a major construction project just getting started (they are expanding their pool area). We went immediately back to the front desk, and she was very helpful and upgraded us to a small suite with a kitchenette. Things were very quiet in that room - no construction work wakeups the next morning. "

"the updates was nice. sky tower room was quite but a bit confusing to find the pathways due to renovations and parking was tough due to an event happening during our stay"
