My husband and I have stayed at this hotel twice. On the downside, the hotel is in need of a facelift. The furnishings and decor do show their age. However,there are many positive aspects to the hotel as well. The rooms are large and have always been well cleaned. The price is right and the location is great if you want to walk to all of the other casinos in downtown Reno. We have always had a good time when we have stayed here. The staff is friendly and helpful. If you want luxury, I would recommend another hotel. However, if you are just looking for a clean, comfortable, and inexpensive room, the Fitz is always a good bet.

I stayed at Fitzgerald's for one night in the middle of February. I was able to book a mini suite for $72. The room was clean with a nice view but man has the casino changed! I have stayed at Fitzgerald's numerous times over the last few years and have always enjoyed the slot selection. They have new owners and I swear that there is less than half the machines that were there a year ago and at midnight, there was NO ONE in the casino. I was sent an invitation for a free dinner at Limerick's and after waiting for 5 minutes to be greeted and seated with no wait staff acknowledging we existed, we decided we would rather go somewhere else and pay for dinner. I will try them again in 6 months as the new owners have only been in charge for 3 months. If these problems are still there then, I will find a new Reno hotel to stay at.

After reading some bad reviews lately at the Fitz, we were a little worried about staying there Feb. 4-5-6. They sent a van to pick us up at the airport(which is a new perk) and we had a good time there. We had no problem with heat or water and had a couple great meals at Limericks. Everyone was very helpfull but there wasnt a lot of people there. They are starting to do new elevators and improve the rooms beginning at the top. Hopefully, a new and improved Fitz will be there soon. We had fun. Suzie Slots

I have stayed often at the Fitz (the free and/or discounted room offers come often with relatively little play required), but I think my most recent visit will be my last. The rooms are clean, but they're dull and outdated -- especially the tiny TVs that only get about six channels and the terrible shower pressure. The casino dealers are as friendly as ever, but the rules are definitely in the house's favor. The slots are much tighter than they were in the past. The food hasn't changed -- it's still as lousy as it's ever been. The Lucky Forest gimmicks and trinkets are gone. Bottom line: The Fitz is no fun anymore (which might explain why the casino seemed like a ghost town even on a holiday weekend).
