Siena Hotel, Spa and Casino in Reno, Nevada


Hubby and I stayed in this hotel for the first time together when we flew to Orange County via Phoenix to buy a second hand truck last October. That was my second time already because the first was when I was with my former co-workers during a lab tour in Reno and my former company paid for our stay.

This place is small compared to Peppermill Hotel and Casino but it is very neat and tidy. I think there were only two places to eat. I have been to their steakhouse before but it was replaced with a different name already, not as fancy as the former. I like its interior design. The decor of the lobby and hallway are pleasing to my eyes because it has not too much "drama" in it. I wish my friend Nathalie had seen this place (she has an eye for a good interior design) who, with her husband, Randy, took us from Winnemucca to Reno that night but they stayed in a different hotel.

I have not tried their spa services so I can't say anything about it but I am pretty sure it is good too.

I almost forgot to mention that this hotel is pet-friendly. I was asked if I had one when I checked in. I have seen people playing inside the casino with pet in their lap. If my mind serves me right, the desk clerk said that guests with pet will be charged cleaning fee or deposit fee, something like that, I think it was $30. Better ask them before you make a reservation and the number is 1-775-327-4362.

The only thing hubby did not like about this place is, there is no parking garage. He would prefer to stay in a hotel with parking garage. He hated it when we park outside especially during winter time. Otherwise, hubby and I are happy guests.

Thank you for dropping by. You have a good one!

Toiyabe Cafe in Austin, Nevada


I have been passing by this place many times from Winnemucca, NV to Round Mountain and vice versa and from Winnemucca to Las  Vegas and vice versa but I never thought to stop by to eat or to buy drinks until a Filipino friend told me that it is a neat place to eat and they sell yummy smoothies with many flavors to choose from.

On our recent trip, I mentioned it to hubby and we stopped by. The place is small as I expected and there was only one person tending it. There was a couple in one of the tables having lunch. I bought a pineapple smoothie for me and a chocolate smoothie for hubby. My Filipino friend was right, the pineapple smoothie was really good! I ordered a large cup and I finished it which is unusual :)

This place is already in my list. I will try their raspberry smoothie in our next trip, which is next week, yay! Excited here!

Thanks for dropping by. You have a good one!

Peppermill Hotel and Casino in Reno, Nevada










I have been to this place numerous times and I have taken photos numerous times also but blogging about it was not my priority until this very early morning. Since we moved to Round Mountain, NV, we only get good Internet connection at this time of the day so I thought to start blogging.

Peppermill  is one of the nicest hotels in Reno, Nevada and it is located in the heart of the city. Hubby likes to stay in this hotel because of its parking garage. I like to stay here because of its gorgeous rooms, fancy restos, huge casino floor and other amenities which are too many to mention. 

If you happen to be in Reno, you may want to stay at Peppermill Hotel and Casino.

Thanks for dropping by.

You have an awesome day!
