COURTYARD BY MARRIOTT RENO, Reno

The hotel is on Virginia Street, a short distance from the Reno-Sparks Convention Center (3 km), the Nevada Museum of Art (7 km), and casino areas like Atlantis and Peppermill (approx. 2-4 km). The surrounding strip-mall area provides walkable access to Starbucks, Whole Foods, and several independent restaurants within 0.3-0.5 km. While car access is convenient with free parking, the property sits close to a freeway, so rooms with highway exposure may experience some traffic noise - away-facing rooms offer a quieter environment.

The hotel offers a variety of room configurations including king and two-queen bed options, family rooms, and suites - some with a private balcony. Rooms come with tea/coffee facilities; two-queen rooms also include a microwave and mini fridge. Room features include large work desks, carpeted floors, and blackout curtains that could be improved for total darkness. Rooms are generally clean and comfortable, with a few reports of maintenance needs such as low water pressure or windows that can leak during storms. The windows do open in many rooms. Noise separation between rooms has been noted as moderate, and housekeeping is not automatic - it must be requested.

The Bistro is the primary on-site dining venue, open from 6:30-10:00 for breakfast and 17:00-22:00 for dinner and cocktail hour every day. Breakfast is an à la carte, made-to-order menu (not a buffet) offering hot sandwiches, grab-and-go items, and Starbucks beverages. Dinner includes American dishes, a bar with wine and champagne, and a snack selection. Special dietary options are available on request, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free choices. A 24-hour market in the lobby stocks packaged snacks, drinks, and travel essentials. A picnic area with outdoor furniture is available for al fresco eating.

UpLift is the hotel's standout wellness facility - the largest hotel fitness room in Reno - with state-of-the-art machines, free weights, and space for up to 10-15 people to work out simultaneously. The gym is well-maintained and cleaned regularly. There is no swimming pool, spa, or hot tub on site. An outdoor fireplace and picnic area provide a casual outdoor space for relaxation. For family entertainment, the lobby includes a shared lounge/TV area and board games.

Practical services include express check-in/out, private check-in available, and a safe deposit box at the front desk. The hotel has ATMs on site, a business centre with fax/photocopying and meeting rooms (additional charge), and a minimarket. Laundry and dry cleaning are available. The property is fully accessible with elevators, roll-in showers, and hearing-accessible kits. Security includes CCTV, key card access, and a security alarm. A designated smoking area is present; the rest of the hotel is non-smoking. No airport shuttle service is offered, but rideshares and taxis are readily available.
