Travelodge by Wyndham Reno Downtown
Had to park across the street

Howard Johnson by Wyndham Reno Downtown
You get what you pay for, convenient location. If you arrive late, there's no parking left. The building is exposed in the center, extremely loud. It sounded like the third circle of hell! Bring your earplugs.

Avoid the 24 hour restaurant Milano. Horrible service, mediocre food. Everywhere else we tried food restaurants was very good
