John Ascuaga's Nugget Casino Resort

Jul 29, 2008

We have stayed at this hotel almost every year for over 13 years. We have not been back for over 2 years, but this hotel has really gone down hill. We stayed in the tower which has not yet been updated. Here is what really pisses me off about this hotel: 1. NO FREE WIRELESS INTERNET: What a joke, this... more

This is a large hotel just outside of Reno. I accompanied my husband to a convention in May. We spent 6 nights in a king room in the East Towers. I recommend the East Towers since this section has been updated and has newer decor as compared to the traveler's photos I saw on Trip Advisor. Our room was on... more

Egg Roll King Two

Jul 24, 2008

Very reasonable food that is fresh and good. I live across the street in a very large apartment complex and have been going to Panda Express which is right next door. The food at Egg Roll King is better than Panda Express and costs a couple dollars less for a combo plate. The food is made to order and the... more

I have stayed literally hundred of nights at the Nugget and most have been great ones. I just came back from staying with my girlfriend for the weekend and stayed in the usual newly remodeled room which is much nicer than the ones that are not. The have a nice plasma tv in each room. The restaurants are all good,... more

After confirming our reservations via phone and was very satified with the price we got for the two night stay. We found out that once we settled in the queen size bed mattresses were very stiff and hard to sleep on. For a hotel as old as this one is you would think they would spend some of the income... more

Vista Grille Restaurant

Vista Grille is my favorite restaurant in the Reno/Sparks area. The atmosphere is fantastic... classy but casual, and the staff is well trained, very attentive, and always friendly. The food is of equally high quality and therefore, the prices are very reasonable for the experience you get. It's a hidden treasure in Sparks! more

The bedding had stains and crumbs. The carpet had bumps that needed to be stretched out. Overall the hotel was not clean or well maintained. Managers were never available, must be handling many similar problems. more

I upgraded our room for an extra $35.00 to a suite. It was gorgous , it had windows all around. The view of Reno was breathtaking. Make sure to stay in the towers not in the court yard. The towers are connected to the casino. more

Windsor Inn

May 31, 2008

The carpeting in our room was stained in several places, and one of our two beds sagged terribly in the middle. There were what appeared to be cigarette burns in our bedspread, even though we were in a non-smoking room. When we complained to the front desk staff, they seemed to shrug off everything we'd said. Otherwise, it was a... more

Don't be afraid! After reading the reviews of John Ascuaga's Nugget on here, I was dreading a business trip to this hotel for a convention. I travel frequently for work and have stayed in some of the best and worst hotels in America and many which fall right into the middle. When I read the reviews, I was terrified. Rude... more

I have been dealing with the Quality Inn in Sparks Nevada for several months on a professional and personal level. Some of our healthcare professionals whom are coming inn from out of town stay almost on a weekly basis here when they are working in town and never have I received a single complaint. From my own experience, I find... more

I wanted to write a review for this hotel because I stayed there even after I read the very scary reviews I saw on this site. I recently stayed at John Ascuaga's Nugget for National Association of Professional Organizers conference. In January I started to read reviews on this & other sites about this hotel & was very skeptical about... more

So.. this is my first hotel stay review. I really liked the hotel. I travel for business about 50% of the time, I really enjoyed my stay at the FFI in Reno/Sparks. I stayed in room 124 - and it was fabulous. On the first floor next to an unused conference room, the room was perfect -- quiet and spacious... more

This was one of the worse hotels we have ever stayed at! We had a room in the Nugget Courtyard. What a joke. The elevators reminded us of the Bates hotel. The doors open before the elevator stopped. The rooms were very outdated! Since we had a child with us we usually take turns gambling but since I would have... more

There are several threads about their bad experiences in this hotel's reservation. I didn't think I would be so unlucky before this trip, now I know I will never go back to this hotel. What happened: 1. We booked the most expensive room in this hotel, but the hotel staff told me we got the cheapest one. We showed them... more

Once a month the Nugget is my home away from home while I visit my family in Reno. The staff is most hospitable, courteous, and considerate to my needs and those of my grandchildren. One of the many reasons I stay at the Nugget is their beautiful indoor pool which my grandchildren take full advantage of during my stays. The... more

We have stayed at the Silver Club three times. Two times I had no complaints. The price is right. The third time, I couldn't close the curtain, and it was very cold in the room. We called down stairs and they moved us to a different room, and that room was fine. On the third stay, I was wondering if... more
