how about this 'hidden fee'? we recently stayed at the comfort inn in post falls idaho,and had a pretty good stay until we came home and checked my bank statements which indicated that they had taken out 250 dollars without permission,when i called for an explanation they told me i had smoked in the room and that is their fee to clean it!! BEWARE OF THIS HOTEL!!

merlin- I have stayed at Atlantis, and a few other places in Reno. Atlantis charges even less than you quoted during the week (Sun-Thurs). We got a concierge level room, with breakfast buffet and afternoon snacks, spa access, pool, butler service and a luxury room of 500 sqft on the 22nd floor for 129 per night.(Sunday to Monday) Other rooms there and other places on Reno's 'little strip' are nicely priced as well, from say 49 and up with a lot of extras.
Reno is a great little place, the airport is right in town, plenty to do in town (Virginia St.) and out at the all-inclusives like Atlantis, Nugget and Grand Sierra. Must see is the National Auto Museum. Plenty of websites with info. good luck

My brother told me there's a hotel in Reno, called Atlantis, that has a lot of free amenities just to encourage gambling, and the overnight rate is cheap(say about $200). If you don't gamble, you're getting a huge deal! And, he says, 'It's great for us, because the gamblers pay our taxes!' I never seem to have time to stay there, but someday-- if I want to rest before getting straight into a rental car after landing!
