- Airport access4.7/5
Guests consistently praise the Virginian's modern renovation, cleanliness, excellent location in Reno's midtown with walkable dining/bars, and attentive staff. However, street noise and thin walls are recurring issues that disrupt sleep for many visitors, and some found the paid parking ($10) and slow hot water frustrating. Overall, the property suits those seeking a stylish, well-located stay who can tolerate urban noise.
