Step into a slice of Reno history!
From its 1958 roots as the iconic Ox‑Bow to its intentional 2024 revival, Best Bet Motor Lodge blends classic charm with boutique modernity. Cozy rooms, sauna vibes, vintage neon, come experience Reno’s best bet for history and hospitality!
- This property originally opened in 1958 as the Ox‑Bow Motor Lodge, built by local billboard mogul Sidney Leggett alongside his Sutro Motel (1951) and Ho Hum Motel (1953), this 27‑room classic served road‑trippers, gamblers, and divorce-seekers along Reno’s bustling South Virginia Street.
- Fast forward to the early 2000s when it was renamed Best Bet Motor Lodge, standing strong until 2020 when it fell silent, waiting for a new story.
- The next chapter began in February 2023, when visionary hoteliers Piper Stremmel and Chris Reilly acquired the property and started a full-scale renovation in May 2023.
- In 2024, Best Bet reopened its doors with 21 reimagined rooms, sauna + cold plunge, two comfy patios, vibrant bar/lounge, and even a charming lobby shop, blending retro charisma with modern boutique flair.
Our historic neon sign still shines bright on S Virginia St, ushering guests into Midtown Reno’s coziest hangout. The iconic motor lodge is back - only better.
