Located near the Reno-Tahoe International Airport, Staybridge Suites puts you within easy reach of major employers like Intuit, Microsoft, and Renown Hospital—which makes sense for why this extended stay hotel fills up with people on multi-week work assignments. The location also works well if you’re traveling with a dog, since you’re close enough to downtown Reno’s shops and restaurants without being stuck in the thick of casino noise.

The rooms feel more like apartments than typical hotel setups. You get a kitchenette, which matters when you’re staying longer than a weekend and want to prep your own meals instead of eating out constantly. There’s actual counter space and decent storage, not just a hot plate and a closet. The layout gives both you and your dog room to move around, which helps during longer stays when cabin fever becomes real.

Beyond the hotel itself, you’ve got options for getting outside. Wild Island Water Park is a short drive away if you’re visiting in warmer months, and Lake Tahoe is close enough for day trips—though you’ll want to research which beaches and trails allow dogs before heading out. The Summit Sierra Mall nearby handles shopping needs without requiring a long drive.

The pet policy is straightforward. When you book online, call the front desk with your confirmation number and ask them to add your dog to the reservation. They handle it from there, which beats trying to figure out pet policies at places that make it complicated. If you’re in Reno for work and your dog is coming along for several weeks, having a place with a kitchenette and room to settle in makes a real difference compared to standard hotel rooms.
