| - There is only reason this review is getting 2 stars is that it was cheap! We're talking a little less than 20 bucks a night for four nights cheap, thanks to some online deals. But we most definitely got what we paid for.
Just hearing "Circus Circus" filled me with nostalgia, because I can't even count the number of times my family went to the Reno counterpart when I was a kid.
After the drive from Anaheim, I just wanted to pass out in bed. But my journey there would not be easy. Getting from the lobby to the Skyrise Tower led us down a labyrinthine path past screaming children, vendors hawking their wares, and some timeshare people who flagged us down. Didn't know what they wanted when they grabbed us at first. Naive, exhausted me.
We finally figure out the way to our tower (with maybe a little bickering), only to find that housekeeping hadn't even gotten to clean our room up from the last occupant!!! It was 3 pm, plenty of time between then and the checkout time that morning.
Housekeeping says we can stash our stuff in our room, so we do and head to the casino to kill some time. Doubled my five bucks at the penny slots, so that made me slightly less cranky. Slightly.
Finally, we head up to our room. I just want a nap, so I get under the covers.
Ugh. The overstarched, just a bit too short sheets. The waaaay too soft pillows that provided no support. Glad I brought my travel pillow and blanket with me, that made things better.
I can sleep on stone and be comfy, so the mattress wasn't a problem for me. However, my boyfriend of the sensitive back felt every spring. We checked out the bed the next morning and realized it was a king mattress on top of two twin box springs. WTF?
Made the mistake of hitting the pool our second day there to kill time before a show.
I am anal around pools. I've been working around them for years. It was a funky as you'd expect a pool full of kids, but I'm used to that between working at a waterpark or teaching swim lessons.
No, it was a lifeguards that ruined it for me. Lazy, barely watching the pool, more interested in tanning and looking cool than anything else. Safety? Bah. Also, didn't see any backboards or trauma bags. God help Circus Circus if (when?) some kid drowns.
But again, 19 bucks a night. I am a cheapskate, okay? We spent most of our visit outside the hotel, so for that kind of a deal for a place to lay my head for a few hours, I can pretend to ignore a few things.
Never staying here again if I can help it. You get what you pay for, so next time I'll cough up a bit more.
