Hotels near Reno-Tahoe International Airport - RNO, Reno

Stay in one of the lodgings at Sparks Marina instead of Reno when visiting or traveling through the area. Very nice spot to walk around lake with dog and watch birds and wildlife. Convenient of Interstate 80 and avoid most of Reno traffic, too,

Reno has something going on every weekend. And if you are interested in Burning Man and the artwork that goes to Burning Man take a tour of The Generator www.therenogenerator.com - a fabulous maker's space where many Burning Man art projects are built.

The Area near the hotel is walkable and there is buses to ride to go shopping to like Target and many places for Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner. some parts of Sparks are not walkable and it requires a uber or Car Rental especially with that area being like a highway with much of a mountainous Terrain and it is very beautiful

Downtown Reno feels abandoned and dilapidated, with. many of the buildings along Virginia Street shuttered. The murals are great, but overall the streets are not welcoming. The park along the Truckee River was a nice start, but it needs more. Midtown Reno seemed nicer - but "nice" in the way of a suburban town, rather than a vacation destination. The best part of our stay was when we accidentally stumbled across a dress rehearsal of the Nevada Dance Company in front of the Pioneer Center. We sat and watched a terrific dance performance for free in the plaza area.

Not a gambler, so aside from a one or two days exploring the city itself, appreciated it more as a base for day trips to Virginia City (fab!), Carson City, Washoe Lake, Truckee/Tahoe, and outdoor adventures.

Reno is a quiet place. Stay near Trucker River down town. Not at casino unless you like to gamble. The city is noisey at night. Stay out of city if you can. We ubered everywhere. Ate a place called Two Chicks. Also at a place in the hotel for breakfast and went over to Millie’s in the El Dorado which was good.
