We flew into Reno on March 13th 2007 for the National Men's Bowling Tournament. We only had two weeks notice to fill and virtually all the casino rooms were booked. We read the reviews on the Leisure Resort in Reno and said we would have faith and give it a try.

We checked in early evening. We were told to use the in-room safe (cost of $1.12/day) and were strongly encouraged to use it for all valuables. Walking to the room it looked like a "pay by the hour" flop house. It had dirty walls, fluorescent lights of various hues and an elevator that sounded like it was grinding to its last death.

Our room door faced the back of the facility and felt like the slums of Puerto Rico. The room was tired. Light bulb missing in one lamp, the bathroom so small it was hard to get in/out of. The bed must have been around for a decade and must have been the cheapest they could find.

The room got really warm (outside was around 80 degrees) so we turned on the air conditioning. It blew hot air. We went down to the desk and the attendant said they would have maintenance check on it but that they had gone home for the day. The next morning we went back to the desk and asked about the air only to be told that our room was on the main building system which had "seasonal" air so there was nothing to be done.

It was suggested that we not walk outside at night. The hotel sits next to the county courthouse and has a wide range of types of travelers.

I could go on but there is little point. We can sincerely say that this is a place you should avoid at all costs. You would be better off staying almost anywhere else.
