3-star hotels in Reno
Sixteen 3-star hotels in Reno and Sparks, each rated 4.0 or higher out of 5 by guests, from a 17,422-review casino hotel downtown to a 227-review property in the Reno Experience District.
Staying in Reno
Reno is northern Nevada's casino city on the Truckee River, with 265,000 people, a downtown that still runs casino floors at the Eldorado, Silver Legacy and Circus Circus, and the Sierra Nevada 40 miles west. The Riverwalk between Arlington and Virginia is the good stretch — breweries, the Nevada Museum of Art and the river beach at Wingfield Park — while the Midtown District south of Liberty Street has taken over the food and drink scene. Lake Tahoe is 40 minutes away.
These hotels spread well beyond the arch. WorldMark Reno on North Arlington Avenue and Harrah's Casino Hotel Reno on North Center Street put you in the downtown core; Whitney Peak Hotel Reno Tapestry Collection by Hilton sits on North Virginia Street and Plaza Resort Club on West Street. Further out, Aiden by Best Western South Reno and Courtyard by Marriott Reno line South Virginia Street, Homewood Suites Reno and Home2 Suites by Hilton Reno sit off Kietzke Lane and Meadowood Mall Link, and three airport-area properties — Hyatt Place Reno Tahoe Airport, Aloft by Marriott Reno Tahoe International Airport and Element Reno Experience District — serve early flights. Two hotels, Best Western Plus Sparks Reno Hotel and Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Reno Sparks, are in Sparks. It suits couples on a short break, families in the suite properties and business travellers near the airport or the convention core.

Plan your stay
When to go
Reno sits at 4,500 feet on the eastern slope of the Sierra, which means dry summers that hit 95°F in July and cold, clear winters with lows near 20°F — pack layers whatever month you land. Autumn Saturdays bring Wolf Pack football traffic to the University of Nevada, Reno, a mile north of the arch on Virginia Street, along with a steady supply of student bars along North Virginia. Winter is the season for ski trips to Mt. Rose and Tahoe, with chains or 4WD needed on the Mt. Rose Highway from November through April.
