Top West University Hotel Reviews

Peppermill Resort Spa Casino

10/10 Excellent

"It was our first time going to the Peppermill. We had lots of fun during our stay. Floor servers were very attentive. It was nice to come back to a newly made bed and new towels everyday. We ate at two of the restaurants, portions were very nice sized. Overall we would probably come back based on our experience."

Circus Circus Reno – A Caesars Rewards Destination

8/10 Good

"I could see that the room used to be nice back in the day. I chose the assign room at check in option and was assigned to one of the older rooms (not yet renovated), but I remember if I saw the pictures of the older rooms on the peppery page. I would not try to save that 10-20 dollar a night if the newer ones are like in the pictures."

Atlantis Casino Resort Spa

10/10 Excellent

"I normally stay at the Peppermill, but decided to try Atlantis and was very pleased considering it was less expensive and the rooms were excellent. I did an overnight with a buddy of mine and I’ll have to tell you the food was excellent. We did a quick takeout in the Jewish deli and the food was fantastic. The gaming room is a little dated, but they’re in the middle of an update and I’m looking forward to returning once that’s completed. I would definitely stay there again."

Plaza Resort Club

8/10 Good

"This is a good hotel with a great location near the river walk and restaurants. The room was spacious, much larger than most modern hotels. It is an older hotel and does show its age, lots of dark wood, etc. During our stay the guest elevator to parking was not working so we had to use the staff elevator, which gets abused. Thus, the first impression is a bit off. The parking on site and self park which is good. However the parking slots are narrow, not made for large modern cars so you have to take your time to park. But it is very nice to have secure on site parking."
