HOME2 SUITES BY HILTON RENO, Reno

The hotel sits on the outskirts of Reno, away from the busiest casino traffic, in a safe area with ample free parking. The airport is less than 5 minutes by car, and the convention center is within walking distance. Numerous restaurants and stores - including Starbucks, Subway, Kei Sushi, and a mall - are within a 0.5 km walk, making it easy to find dining or shopping without a car. Landmarks like Lakeridge Golf Club (3 km) and Nevada Museum of Art (6 km) are a short drive away. The location is highly rated for walkability to nearby amenities and quick airport access, though no hotel shuttle means rideshares or taxis are needed for airport transfers. For those with a car, the free on-site parking and accessible spots make coming and goings straightforward.

All units are studios or suites with air conditioning, heating, a seating area, and a flat-screen TV with cable channels. Each room includes a kitchenette with a full-size refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, and cooktop burners (available on request), plus a tea and coffee maker. Beds are available in configurations of 1 king, 2 queen, or suites with sofa beds, though the sofa beds have been reported as uncomfortable and sometimes stained. Rooms are generally clean, spacious, and well-lit with plenty of storage, but some units show wear such as peeling wallpaper, missing baseboards, or broken bathroom sliding doors that offer little privacy. Noise can travel through walls and from above; rooms facing the road may be noisier. Air conditioning units are noted as loud, and some guests have had to unplug them to sleep. Requesting a top-floor or interior room may improve quiet.

Breakfast is included for all guests and runs from morning hours; however, it does not start until 6:30 am, which may be late for early business travelers. The breakfast area is set up in the lobby with ample seating. While many appreciate the selection, the quality can be inconsistent - some items like eggs and sausages are reported as being overcooked or cold, and the toaster has been noted as broken. The staff serving breakfast has had mixed interactions, but overall the free hot breakfast is a valued perk. For those seeking additional variety, several quick-service restaurants like Starbucks, Subway, and Kei Sushi are within a short walk, and the hotel's full kitchenette allows guests to prepare their own meals.

The indoor swimming pool is open year-round and is a popular feature for families, but it has been closed for maintenance for extended periods - confirming its availability before booking is strongly recommended. The fitness center is clean and equipped with cardio machines and weights up to 34.0 kg, though some equipment like the Peloton has been reported as out of order. The sun terrace and outdoor furniture offer a pleasant space to relax, and the outdoor fire pit is available for use (though it has not always been lit). A bar is also present on-site. For children, the indoor pool is a highlight when operational, and the hotel is a short walk to family-friendly spots like Chuck E. Cheese's and a mall.

Wi-Fi is free in public areas and guest rooms. Parking is free and on-site, with accessible spots, though no reservation is possible - spaces are generally ample. The 24-hour front desk can assist with express check-in/out and luggage storage, but some have found the desk unattended at times. Housekeeping is not automatic; daily service must be requested at the front desk. Laundry facilities are available but some machines have been reported as out of order. The business center offers printing and computer access. Accessibility features include wheelchair-accessible rooms and a lift. Pets are allowed with applicable charges. Payment can be made with American Express, Visa, Diners Club, Discover, and UnionPay. Management response to issues has been inconsistent; contacting Hilton corporate directly is a backup for unresolved problems.
