Food in restaurants disappointing, especially the buffet, which had the same food out for breakfast that was on display the previous night's dinner. I suspect they are not after an international market. The one shining light was the show on in the Concert Hall. "Menopause the Musical". First Class performers who made the stay totally worthwhile. We are not gamblers... More

I stayed at the El Dorado once before and enjoyed this visit as well. Good views from top floors, clean and comfortable room, a busy casino and connected to other downtown hotels and casino by walkway across streets. It's also close to the Truckee River and the river walk that's a delight. And, you're just a stone's throw from the... More

The pool area was nice and the water was very clean.I did not eat at the restaurants because It was a fast overnight stay.The casino was fun and,surprisingly,smoke free! I would recommend this hotel for people who are on a budget and want... More

Travel with others rockporttours.com. We arrived off Amtrak at 9am. Rooms were not ready so we had to hang out till they were ready at 1pm. Nice big room and window. Our view was of roofs of the building below but if you looked up you could see the snow capped mountains. There were so food items on a tray.... More

I used a groupon and stayed one night. Groupon included room, 2 show tickets and 2 breakfast buffets. It was a great deal. Rooms are clean. Water is hot. Wifi in the rooms is not free. That is annoying these days. Breakfast buffet was included and good.

We stayed one night in Reno on our way to California. The El Dorado was big, and we had never stayed there before. Sure was the right choice. Beautiful room, clean with good climate control and big bathroom. GREAT rate since it was a Sunday night! My son got Wi-Fi for his laptop (games) although there is free internet on... More

The rooms were very clean with all the amenities you'd expect at a much more expensive hotel, with highest quality mattresses. I enjoyed my stay there and will return as soon as i possibly can. They are so close to so many great sights and attractions, restaurants and shops, and the staff was friendly in a not-fake way. Gonna do... More

Our room was $200.00 and we had to get a smoking allowed because the hotel was booked. Our room smelled horrible...cigarettes! Anyway, the housekeeping were responsive to our requests for a razor and toothbrush. The pool is ok...nothing compared to the Peppermill...the buffet was Sunday Brunch...The food was ample,,,,lots of choices...but a little high priced...5 adults....
