Price: Moderately ExpensiveWhile we're not overly excited about this property after our visit, the dearth of appealing Reno hotels makes Grand Sierra worth recommending. The 1,000+ room property consists of two accommodations: the original hotel and a newer condominium tower (The Summit).
Price: Moderately ExpensiveFirst and foremost we recommend this accommodation for its useful on-site gym sporting new Precor equipment and its proximity to several off-site health clubs. There is a lot more to like too.
