Debit Card Users
Debit cards are not recommended for check-in, but can be used. Several hundred dollars will be temporarily charged for incidentals and may take up to 10 days after check-out to be released back to your bank account (your bank controls this timeframe, not the hotel). Tip: You can access the money in this temporary charge by charging food and other items to your room.
King Deluxe rooms
“Deluxe” rooms are about 25% larger and have a couch. The couches in King Deluxe rooms contain a fold-out bed, and so are still a kind of two-bed room that can sleep 4 people. Consider a King Deluxe if Queens are sold out and you need space for 4.
Suites
To book a suite, book an ordinary room via Passkey, then call 1-866-238-7366 to request a suite upgrade. Suite upgrades are discounted by 25% off the regular rate.
Room requests on your Mobile phone
When you check in to the GSR, you can also provide a mobile phone number you can use for room requests, such as asking for towels or extra housekeeping requests.
FAQ
I can’t book all the days I want!
First, book whatever dates you can. Next, call 1-866-238-7366 to request the additional days you need.
Will the con get more rooms?
We already have all the rooms we can get and have a vast majority of the hotel. The hotel always reserves some rooms for contract obligations and high-roller guests. Overflow hotels with shuttle service are actively being negotiated and considered.
How can I modify my reservation?
When completed, you will receive an email from hotel@goblfc.org confirming your reservation. This email will contain a link to modify your reservation directly. Do not share this link with anyone!
After May 10th, you will need to call 1-866-238-7366 to make changes.
Why did I get an email telling me extra people are $30 per night?
Automated systems may send you an email with this message. If you booked in our convention block, this fee is waived. If you booked off-block, this fee applies to you.
What is the Resort Fee?
This hotel charges a daily resort fee in addition to your room rate, which pays for the airport shuttle, parking, pool, gym, internet, and free bottled water.
What is the Tourism Fee?
A fee mandated by the City of Reno Tourism Board for all hotels, instituted in 2015.
I hate elevators!
You can request a smoking room to be placed on the 1st floor, which is now the only smoking floor in the hotel.
I want to room next to my friends.
After booking online, just call 1-866-238-7366, ask to be placed together, and provide your confirmation numbers.
Can I use marijuana?
No. The hotel does not allow consumption or possession of marijuana on-property, in hotel rooms, or even in your car in the parking lot.
What’s the best way to bring in my luggage?
You may not use the front entrance as a loading zone, and you may not use the bell carts. Please park in self-parking, and then hand carry your luggage to your room. We recommend bringing your own folding cart. Or, you can park in the front entrance, and let the valet parking staff and bell staff move your car and luggage. Make sure to carry some cash for tips.
