Top West University Hotel Reviews

Peppermill Resort Spa Casino

10/10 Excellent

"The Peppermill is an awesome place to stay at!!"

Circus Circus Reno – A Caesars Rewards Destination

8/10 Good

"Rooms very clean. The drawback is the very very long distance if your have a room in the sky tower!!!! The walk from the main lobby, plus up and down steps & escalator with luggage was exhausting!! My room in the sky tower had a noisy A/C that made it hard to fall asleep. The great part was when I address it, they moved me to their main hotel rooms off the main lobby!!!"

Grand Sierra Resort and Casino

2/10 Terrible

"I didn’t get the adjoining rooms I was promised, and I didn’t even get to go into my second room until 7pm when check in was at 3pm. I booked this two months in advance and called to confirm one month in advance. Then they tried to charge me three times for two rooms. The room I was in was not in great condition, with the furniture being broken in spots on the drawers and cabinets. Will not be booking again."

Aiden by Best Western South Reno

10/10 Excellent

"I’ll admit, I didn't quite know what to expect when booking this stay, but I walked away incredibly impressed. This hotel is an absolute hidden gem. From the moment we walked into our initial room, it was clear that the property exceeds expectations—clean, beautifully designed, and much more spacious than the photos let on. We did encounter a minor issue with the bathroom shortly after checking in (a slight plumbing hiccup). I mentioned it to the front desk just to let them know, and their response was immediate and exemplary. Instead of sending up a quick fix or making us wait around, the staff went above and beyond, immediately apologizing for the inconvenience and transferring us to a brand-new, immaculate room. The level of hospitality here is top-tier. The entire team was attentive, professional, and genuinely cared about the quality of our stay. What started as a minor inconvenience turned into a demonstration of flawless customer service."
