Travelodge by Wyndham Reno Downtown
Cleanliness- beds with stains, the smell was bad( smoke)bathroom,parking lot also dirty. Loud noises very late at night that lasted into the early hours of the morning. The staff was ok, but not the best. Not worth the money we paid.

Howard Johnson by Wyndham Reno Downtown
The outside is a bit sketchy but the room itself was decent. Didn’t have any issues with bed bugs or roaches as other people have complained about. I was there for 4 nights and no complaints.
