Sutro Motel
1200 East 4th Street
Reno, NV 89512-3601(775) 322-8124 24 units.
Still open for business! The motel now features some fine murals of miners.
Named (indirectly) after mining engineer Adolph Sutro, who built a six mile long drainage tunnel from Virginia City to Dayton.
I chuckle every time I see the vintage postcards for this motel with their s less than definitive claim: Probably the best. Probably?!?! I suppose the original owners wanted to leave some wiggle room in case they decided some other motel was better than theirs.
