They had a much nicer assortment of slot machines, and the location was a bit better for walking around

Reviewed by Marcia S. of Oakland of CA USA on Jul-2007 Stayed at the Property - Jul-2007 My room at the Sands Regency Reno was not comfortable. The bed was clean but very hard. Check in was slow plus they have a line for club members that allows people to go before you even if you have been standing in line for 15 minutes. The carpets in the room need to be cleaned, there is a odor that we noticed as soon as we entered the room. Stay at the Sands if you are looking for a cheap Hotel room, if you plan to stay in the room for any amount of time don't expect to enjoy yourself....
Pros:	The price of the rooms
Cons:	the carpets needed cleaning

The Sands also gave easy access to the other casinos and the bowling stadium with just a short walk.

Reviewed by Sandy J. of Boise, ID USA on Feb-2008 Stayed at the Property - Feb-2008 The room wasnt that bad, other than the bed was hard. It was clean and spacious. The buffet was very little. What made it great, was it was an all you can eat Steak Buffet. Had fun playing bingo and some of the slots. Enjoyed the Hot tub daily. Was well worth our money. Recommend not walking to different casinos at night, very scary.

Reviewed by Marcia S. of Oakland of CA USA on Jul-2007 Stayed at the Property - Jul-2007 My room at the Sands Regency Reno was not comfortable. The bed was clean but very hard. Check in was slow plus they have a line for club members that allows people to go before you even if you have been standing in line for 15 minutes. The carpets in the room need to be cleaned, there is a odor that we noticed as soon as we entered the room. Stay at the Sands if you are looking for a cheap Hotel room, if you plan to stay in the room for any amount of time don't expect to enjoy yourself....

Hotel is within walking distance from all the downtown casino's so if your looking to do some roaming around without paying the high price of the newer places this is definately the place to stay. Will definately stay there again!!

Reviewed by Marcia S. of Oakland of CA USA on Jul-2007 Stayed at the Property - Jul-2007 My room at the Sands Regency Reno was not comfortable. The bed was clean but very hard. Check in was slow plus they have a line for club members that allows people to go before you even if you have been standing in line for 15 minutes. The carpets in the room need to be cleaned, there is a odor that we noticed as soon as we entered the room. Stay at the Sands if you are looking for a cheap Hotel room, if you plan to stay in the room for any amount of time don't expect to enjoy yourself....
Pros:	The price of the rooms

The room decor could use some updating, but otherwise it was very clean and comfy and very much worth the price. Our 8th story window commanded a great view of the downtown area. The Sands also gave easy access to the other casinos and the bowling stadium with just a short walk.

Reviewed by Tami M. of on Apr-2007 Stayed at the Property - Apr-2007 I was little disappointed in the hotel, it has been at least 15 years since the last time I was there. If they had done any remodeling I am not sure were they did it. There were a few changes in the casino and the rooms had beds so low to the ground you were basically rolled out to get up. The new carpets already had stains on them in the room and the hallways. Staff was nice. I won't be going back there, again.

Reviewed by Arlin G. of of AZ on Apr-2007 Stayed at the Property - Apr-2007 It's easy to tell that the Sands has been around since Reno's downtown heyday. The room decor could use some updating, but otherwise it was very clean and comfy and very much worth the price. Our 8th story window commanded a great view of the downtown area. The Sands also gave easy access to the other casinos and the bowling stadium with just a short walk. Mel's Diner, located on the 1st level, is a bit pricey for the quality so finding a good buffet helps.

Obviously she has never stayed there because there was nothing wrong with the place. The rooms were a little outdated but clean and spacious. Staff was polite. Mexican restaurant on the premises was excellent. Hotel and casino are not at all fancy but well worth the money. We just basically needed a place to sleep.

Reviewed by Marcia S. of Oakland of CA USA on Jul-2007 Stayed at the Property - Jul-2007 My room at the Sands Regency Reno was not comfortable. The bed was clean but very hard. Check in was slow plus they have a line for club members that allows people to go before you even if you have been standing in line for 15 minutes. The carpets in the room need to be cleaned, there is a odor that we noticed as soon as we entered the room. Stay at the Sands if you are looking for a cheap Hotel room, if you plan to stay in the room for any amount of time don't expect to enjoy yourself....

Obviously she has never stayed there because there was nothing wrong with the place. The rooms were a little outdated but clean and spacious. Staff was polite. Mexican restaurant on the premises was excellent. Hotel and casino are not at all fancy but well worth the money. We just basically needed a place to sleep.

If they had done any remodeling I am not sure were they did it. There were a few changes in the casino and the rooms had beds so low to the ground you were basically rolled out to get up. The new carpets already had stains on them in the room and the hallways. Staff was nice. I won't be going back there, again.

Reviewed by Arlin G. of of AZ on Apr-2007 Stayed at the Property - Apr-2007 It's easy to tell that the Sands has been around since Reno's downtown heyday. The room decor could use some updating, but otherwise it was very clean and comfy and very much worth the price. Our 8th story window commanded a great view of the downtown area. The Sands also gave easy access to the other casinos and the bowling stadium with just a short walk. Mel's Diner, located on the 1st level, is a bit pricey for the quality so finding a good buffet helps.

Obviously she has never stayed there because there was nothing wrong with the place. The rooms were a little outdated but clean and spacious. Staff was polite. Mexican restaurant on the premises was excellent. Hotel and casino are not at all fancy but well worth the money. We just basically needed a place to sleep.

Reviewed by Linda L. of Aurora of OR U.S. on Apr-2007 Stayed at the Property - Apr-2007 This hotel/casino needs major renovations. The mattresses were stained and rock-hard. The furniture was cheap and in bad condition, ie: broken drawer pulls, etc. No water pressure for the toilet or shower. For a few dollars more, there's better places to stay in Reno.

Reviewed by Tami M. of on Apr-2007 Stayed at the Property - Apr-2007 I was little disappointed in the hotel, it has been at least 15 years since the last time I was there. If they had done any remodeling I am not sure were they did it. There were a few changes in the casino and the rooms had beds so low to the ground you were basically rolled out to get up. The new carpets already had stains on them in the room and the hallways. Staff was nice. I won't be going back there, again.

Reviewed by Arlin G. of of AZ on Apr-2007 Stayed at the Property - Apr-2007 It's easy to tell that the Sands has been around since Reno's downtown heyday. The room decor could use some updating, but otherwise it was very clean and comfy and very much worth the price. Our 8th story window commanded a great view of the downtown area. The Sands also gave easy access to the other casinos and the bowling stadium with just a short walk. Mel's Diner, located on the 1st level, is a bit pricey for the quality so finding a good buffet helps.

Obviously she has never stayed there because there was nothing wrong with the place. The rooms were a little outdated but clean and spacious. Staff was polite. Mexican restaurant on the premises was excellent. Hotel and casino are not at all fancy but well worth the money. We just basically needed a place to sleep.

Obviously she has never stayed there because there was nothing wrong with the place. The rooms were a little outdated but clean and spacious. Staff was polite. Mexican restaurant on the premises was excellent. Hotel and casino are not at all fancy but well worth the money. We just basically needed a place to sleep. Only downfall was distance to convention center which we had to pay $14 - $17 each way.

Reviewed by Amy D. of Fort Dodge of IA on Feb-2007 Stayed at the Property - Feb-2007 We were a little nervous about staying at this hotel because the price was SO low and a gal from Reno that lives within a couple blocks of the hotel told us it was the worst hotel in Reno. Obviously she has never stayed there because there was nothing wrong with the place. The rooms were a little outdated but clean and spacious. Staff was polite. Mexican restaurant on the premises was excellent. Hotel and casino are not at all fancy but well worth the money. We just basically needed a place to sleep. Only downfall was distance to convention center which we had to pay $14 - $17 each way.

Reviewed by Scottie W. of of CA USA on Dec-2006 Stayed at the Property - Dec-2006 The check-in women has a terrible sense of humor. I asked for a room that is quiet and away from elevators. She gave me a room surrounded by three elevators.(Super noisy). Next room was next to giant A/C that cooled whole Hotel. (Even louder) Third room giiven by assistant manager was quiet and what I wanted. So third time a charm. Shouldn't be that hard to get a good room in the middle of winter when hotel is empty. Otherwise will recommend because the other time we stayed we were given a great room immediately. And that was during Hot August Nights.

Reviewed by Carmen K. of of CA on Jul-2007 Stayed at the Property - Mar-2007 When we got to the hotel and went to our room, low and behold, there is already someone there... sleeping... but anyway, we went to get another room... (no apologies, or even good customer service for that matter) a little worried that it was so easy for us to get into someone else's room... so we basically hid all of our valuables... Pretty much a cheap Reno hotel...
