9/2020 Due to the current Coronavirus scare, and despite the CDC deeming outdoor pools one of the safest places to be due to the fresh air and sun (=sterilizing ultraviolet rays), ALL the many outdoor hot tubs were closed despite there being enough for 1 per family with a reservation. Fitness Center was closed, too. No bar on campus, but Genoa has one with outdoor seating at picnic tables.
Pool was open with limits on # of people due to Social Distancing requirements (but it still had kids going every which way!).
Food at the fancy restaurant was not very good (one dinner was almost inedible). Room had no desk for a laptop or reading, no extra blanket for the cool NV nights, and the lighting was so dim in the bathroom there is no way a lady can do her makeup in there; we had to go by the window and try to juggle a tiny purse mirror and our supplies and brushes.
Management & upkeep was not to Resorts West nor Holiday Inn standards, so not sure what is going on. Hopefully it changes soon.

Not much to do on property during my 5 night visit, but Historic (tiny) Genoa and Carson City (shopping!) are nearby. Reno and historic hillside mining town Virgina City are about 45 min. north.

Good: Room (in Bldg C) has new furniture, comfy sleeper couch & fpl in living room, decent kitchen, large spa tub and a shower in suite bathroom, & lovely peaceful views.
