About this property

Welcome to The Jesse Hotel & Bar

The Jesse Hotel & Bar offers an understated boutique experience in downtown Reno, featuring airy rooms with exposed brick walls that create a stylish and comfortable atmosphere. The property boasts a cocktail bar, coffee shop, restaurant, and event venue, catering to guests looking for a vibrant social scene alongside their accommodation. Located at 306 E 4th St, it sits conveniently above a lively bar and restaurant, which some guests note can contribute to ambient noise, though the provision of white noise machines and earplugs helps ensure restful nights.

Guests appreciate the thoughtfully designed interiors, including comfortable beds, luxe bath products, and occasional touches like blackout curtains and cozy sitting areas. While the hotel’s location places it near downtown Reno’s bus hub and transit options, making it practical for exploring, it is not in the quietest part of town. The surrounding neighborhood is active, with gaming, dining, and live entertainment nearby, appealing especially to visitors interested in experiencing Reno’s energy and culture.

Amenities include an LGBTQ+ friendly environment and an on-site coffee shop known as The Jesse Coffee, which receives positive feedback for quality and service. The property’s bar and restaurant draw favorable reviews for their Mediterranean-influenced cuisine and crafted cocktails, making it a popular spot for both guests and locals. Some feedback points to variability in check-in experience, but overall service and hospitality are highlighted as attentive and helpful.

Nearby attractions such as the National Automobile Museum, Nevada Museum of Art, and Rancho San Rafael Regional Park offer cultural and recreational options within easy reach. The Jesse Hotel & Bar fits travelers who prefer a boutique setting with a lively, urban vibe and appreciate being close to downtown Reno’s key points of interest. It is especially suitable for guests seeking a blend of social dining, nightlife, and comfortable accommodations in a central location.

We had a really nice stay at The Jesse. The room was spacious and clean, the bed was very comfortable, the bath products were excellent. I appreciated that they provided a white noise machine and ear plugs to help with the ambient noise. The hotel is next to the downtown bus hub, and the rooms are right above the bar/restaurant, so there is quite a bit of noise, but we slept really well using the white noise and ear plugs. It's not an area I would want to be in alone at night, but we felt safe inside.

Copying the sentiments of the review before me. Mixed emotions about this hotel. Check-in was brutal. We booked all six rooms. The owner was there at check in but 1) gave me the wrong codes to the rooms and 2) refused to give me codes to all the rooms 2 hours before check in even though five of the six were ready. The room is absolutely beautiful. Big bathroom/shower. Nicely furnished and a great comfortable bed. The second floor rooms get a lot of noise from the lobby bar so beware. The street noise wasn’t as bad as advertised in the reviews but we also visited on mlk weekend so the cold may keep the streets quieter. The walls are thin like most hotel so do prepare to sleep with earplugs if you’re a light sleeper. Neighborhood is akin to lower nob hill or the mission in San Francisco. Lot of rift raft but nothing dangerous. Free parking is nice but don’t leave stuff in your car overnight (as in San Francisco). I’d stay here again only jf we booked all rooms. There’s no common space in the lobby so you’re SOL if the lobby bar/cafe is closed.

Went here just for a cocktail and dinner. The patio is amazing. Music is fun. Food is so good. Having the Mediterranean bowl with lamb meatballs and my cocktail is amazing : The Oracle of Delphi with mezcal grapefruit lime and thyme syrup served by a beautiful bar tender. Great experience. Will return. Indoor and outdoor ambiance and atmosphere is great.

I had the pleasure of staying at The Jesse. Rooms were very clean. Hospitality was exceptional. Not in the nicest part of town but I understand the importance of the location. Close to ballpark, train station and bus station. I do believe this place is only going to get better. Can’t wait to come back and try their Mediterranean cuisine.

I have to give these guys 1000 star review for customer service. I had dropped my wallet outside, upon review of the security footage we saw the guy who took it. Using find-my and my air tags, the owner and manager hopped in my car; drove with me 7 miles to find the guy, and we got my wallet back. Aside from this awesome act of service. This is a very nice and affordable hotel with a nice vibe and bar below. Interior design is excellent. Highly highly recommended.

During my monthly work trips to Reno, it's usually a quick visit without overnight stays. However, this time I opted to extend my visit and enjoy dinner with friends. Preferring a more intimate hotel setting over a larger hotel, I found The Jesse, a hidden gem in Reno. With only 6 beautifully decorated rooms exuding a Soho vibe, it exceeded my expectations. While the downstairs bar is charming, adding some music could enhance the overall ambiance. I'm definitely planning to book here again!

Gorgeous room! So comfortable: perfect bed and amazing bedding, blackout curtains, Grown Alchemy products, exposed brick, a cozy rug and sitting area, tall ceilings and a beautiful plant in my room. I’d absolutely stay here again. Plus - check-in was super easy (despite a 1 am arrival), and the staff was great.

The food here is super delicious, especially the veggie tempura, hummus, and the meats. Everything was amazing. The cocktails are also really good. The place has a totally cozy vibe and the staff is incredibly friendly. Prices are also very reasonable. I hadn’t seen a spot like this in downtown Reno before. Anyone visiting Reno should definitely check it out. The hotel rooms are beautiful, really well designed, and the beds are super comfortable.
