UC Davis Tahoe Environmental Research Center Tours and Activities

From the moment we arrived at Whitney Peak, we knew we’d picked the right place. The location couldn’t be better — right next to the Reno Arch and within walking distance of so many great restaurants, coffee shops, and entertainment. The staff is the standout here: warm, genuinely friendly, and eager to help with anything from dinner recommendations to arranging transportation. It never felt like “just another hotel stay” — it felt personal. Our room was spotless, modern, and spacious, with huge windows framing the city and mountains. The bed was unbelievably comfortable, the linens felt luxurious, and the little touches — like locally inspired decor and high-quality toiletries — made it feel special. One of the biggest perks is that it’s smoke-free, which is a rare and welcome change in downtown Reno. You can actually breathe fresh air as you walk through the lobby. The vibe is relaxed but still upscale, and there’s a cool, boutique feel throughout. The climbing wall outside is an absolute showstopper — even if you’re not climbing it, it gives the place a sense of energy and adventure. The fitness center is excellent, and the on-site restaurant serves a fantastic breakfast and creative cocktails in the evening. All in all, Whitney Peak delivers the perfect balance of comfort, style, and location. Whether you’re in Reno for business, a getaway, or just passing through, this hotel is a breath of fresh air. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else in the city.

The quality for the price was not good.

WorldMark Reno by Wyndham is a timeshare property, so I was a little nervous about staying here as I didn't know what the checkin process would be or who was managing the room. The front desk employee told me that when their property doesn't sell their weeks to timeshare owners, they open up the property to the general public via third party booking sites like Expedia. Instructions from Expedia were to contact the property ahead of time for checkin instructions - which wasn't necessary. The checkin process was smooth and simple. There is a front desk employee on-site 24/7 and if they are not at the desk when attempting to check in late at night, there is a phone number to call and the employee will come to greet you. Parking was covered and right in front of the entrance. The rooms are spacious, clean, and the kitchen is well-appointed if you want to cook. The property was walking distance to the riverfront, midtown, downtown, and even UNR. Would stay here again.
