“Only if you're desperate.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 August 2010

person found this review helpful

We were going to Reno for The Golden Boys concert (Frankie Avalon, Fabian & Bobby Rydell) at the Silver Legacy Hotel on Sat., Aug 7, 2010. Did not realize that it was their "Hot August Nights" weekend & that every hotel would be booked up.

But, I found the Gatekeeper reviews, which didn't sound too bad & called them. They actually had a room available for our one night, so I reserved it.

THE GOOD STUFF -
Just a block from the Silver Legacy & Circus Circus Hotels. Nice thick towels. Clean sheets. Friendly office lady. TV.
THE BAD STUFF -
Everything else......old & dirty motel, carpets, etc. Really scary looking people staying there. Rate of $115 + tax for the night, which was $100 too much. People running amuck on the balcony, yelling & screaming at 4 a.m.
No coffee pot, no phone, no clock.

Didn't get much sleep & left (ran away) at 7 a.m. the next day.

“GREAT PLACE TO STAY”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 June 2010

When I first came to reno,I needed a clean,safe place to stay.checked almost all the motels in town,by far Gatekeeper was the best.Close to casinos,clean and the manager (Margie),always goes out of her way to make sure you enjoy your stay there.I stayed there almost 8 months,and if I ever need a motel again wouldnt stay anywhere else.Just ask for Margie and enjoy you stay.

“Fun in Downtown”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 April 2007

This Motel couldn't be in a better location! A sweet Mom 'n' Pop style run motel with very helpful and friendly staff. It's small and cozy at a very reasonable rate! The people that run this place go out of their way to make sure everyone is satisfied!
The location is prime, 2 blocks from the Reno strip you are close to everything, yet can retire in a quiet room that is not right in the middle of everything! Reasonable rates, good weekly rates for people coming to work, and great staff!
