J Resort Reno

We had dinner at Hannah's Table, and everyone we dealt with was lovely. Our waitress, whose name I unfortunately forgot, made a great suggestion when I couldn't decide. Rana (spelling?) at the front desk was warm and welcoming, too. The room was very clean and comfortable, with a wonderful city view. We'll definitely come back and recommend this place to anyone looking for somewhere nice to stay!

I haven't managed to book my one-night comp through the website yet, so I can't comment on the hotel stay. I did have lunch at Hannah‘s restaurant recently, though, and it's worth trying even if you're not staying there. My friend and I shared a huge spinach artichoke dip appetizer. It was really good, and came with tortilla chips plus cheesy garlic bread twists, which I hadn't expected. We also split the fish and chips. I don't know how they make the tartar sauce, but it was amazing. Our waiter, I believe his name was Danny, was polite, attentive, and friendly. Andrew, the manager or supervisor, was professional and checked in with us a few times to see if everything was okay. He also seemed very comfortable and at ease in his role. Once I figure out how to reserve the room, I'll report back on the hotel.

This isn't a resort of any kind. Registration was quick and pleasant, but the hallway smelled of spoiled seafood the whole time. The WiFi kept dropping during work calls, the thermostat was broken, and there was no bedside clock or bathroom hand soap. The window A/C sounded like a leaf blower. The shower corners and the hard-to-reach area by the handles had mold, goo, or something like that. All the sheets were just draped on the bed instead of tucked in. I tucked the bottom one myself and my hand stuck to something on the bed base. Nasty. The owner should be embarrassed.

I spent four days here. The room was comfortable and really nice, and the workout area had what I needed. I liked the view toward the temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the distance, and I'd recommend booking a Mountain View room. The parking was a bit of a walk and got busy on Friday and Saturday nights. My room was right by the elevator, which made for a lot of noise through the night. Still, I'd stay here again.
