The Ramada in Reno is freaking scary! Went one time, got pulled over after I left the parking lot because my headlights were not on (rental). Explained it was a rental and the light control had no 'auto'. They asked to check the vehicle, and then did a 'touch your nose, walk the line test'. Nope, will never again go to shit holes like that. They are being watched and the cops are waiting to pull someone over.
