Typical Motel 6…. dirty and questionable clientele roaming around the premises. No shampoo provided. Non-smoking room smelled like cigarettes and had cigarette burns on furniture. Luckily we only needed room for 6 hours due to a flight cancellation/reschedule. As usual, Motel 6’s will always only be used as a last resort for me.

Staff was helpful enough but this place isn't much other than a bed to sleep. First \"non-smoking\" room smelled strongly of smoke, luckily easily changed rooms. Rooms are bare bones, small microwave and small fridge, TV, as expected. AC worked. Beds and sheets fine, shower water worked and was hot. Not enough towels. No hot water and pool area not functional. No breakfast and overpriced snacks for sale. Basically, as stated, great place to sleep if you just need a bed but not much else.

The property is right next to the freeway. I thought that would cause a noise issue, but it didn't. The property is older, but the room was clean and the linens were clean and not worn. I spent 1 night and it was fine. They also provid a dog area, which is great because the area is busy with vehicle traffic and not really conducive to dog walking. For the price, it was comfortable and more than I expected.

The manager was very helpful at check-in and made it smooth and inviting most likely to cover up the fact that the bed pillows were washed in the washer and dryer and lumpy like rocks, and when we took the pillowcases off to look at them, they were ripped open on the ends. There was no shampoo or conditioner or lotion in the bathroom bathrooms. They were cigarette butts all over the ground outside, but check-in was good yes

Clean, well maintained, and super nice staff. They understood my physical limitations and did everything possible to make my stay as easy as possible. They came out to make sure I was safe while sitting in my car smoking. Everyone was extremely polite. I still have to give them one star off because who carries a hairdryer with them anymore? No hairdryers or coffee makers in the room. In the lobby, yes but not in the room. I will stay here again when I go thru the area next time.

Well, hard time getting checked in to start. Rented 2 rooms under my name and when checking in, the guy at the front asked for young childrens IDs. When I refused to provide because they had nothing to do with the reservation, he got snappy.
My first thoughts, unfortunately, went to child trafficking. In years of adulting, I have never been asked for my children's IDs.

Rooms were average at best. 1 room did not have a remote control. The location is 100% in a sh it part of town with locals living it to full occupancy. Homeless people roaming the property all night. Way too close to road, constant traffic noise.

Best thing about the hotel truthfully was leaving it in the rearview mirror.

Pros: Room was clean, bed comfortable, shower adequate, coffee in the lobby in the morning. It appears the Owners are making improvement, but the have a long way to go. The price was very cheap.
Cons: Building is in sad disrepair. The stairs to our 2nd floor room are actually crumbling. The room was non-smoking but smelled of cigarettes, probably because the smoke detector was removed! It is right next to I-80 and very noisy.

When entering the office to check in, there were 2 other customers and no clerk. Upon entering the room, the lock on the outer door was missing the cover, looked like someone messed with it. The bathroom looked dirty as if it had not been cleaned and floor was dirty. The metal on one of the bed frames was sticking out and not covered. The metal was exposed and this same bed was very noisy and uncomfortable. No coffee or iron in room. Late in the night some of the guest were very loud and rude. We returned around 10 pm and parking lot was full. I would never recommend or stay at this motel 6 ever again. The price was ridiculous for a dump of a motel.

The area itself was clean unless you touched the wall in the shower. Surprisingly it’s been like nobody used it before and was dusty. They advertise pool amenities but the area was full of beds. Neighbors were loud at 3 am, 10 maybe 12 we can negotiate but partying and up at 3 is a bit excessive. Have some respect. No coffee machine in the room and they refused to serve coffee after 10am.

We typically only try to write positive reviews, however our stay was quite disappointing. We recognize that this was a motel, and they typically aren’t known for being five star - but basic cleanliness should be expected. Our check in time began at 3PM, we arrived around 5:45PM to check in and our room, along with several other people’s, was not ready. Things happen with staffing, which we completely understood, and the receptionist was kind and checked us in knowing we’d have access in about “20 minutes”. We had an event to go to, so we went and got ready there, returning around 11:45PM. The room absolutely reeked of weed and cigarettes despite being smoke-free, and it was not clean despite our initial delay getting into the room being that room service was still cleaning. The bathroom was filthy, we didn’t even feel comfortable taking a shower. The one sink sprayed water extremely heavily and all over everything, there were hairs all in/over the pillowcases. We removed the pillows and being that it was so late we weren’t able to leave/switch room, so we slept and left as soon as we could. There was one outlet covered by furniture, broken AC, and the smell was overwhelming.

Again, we’re not unreasonable and understand when we’re booking a lower quality place that certain things won’t be as nice, however this was a stay we would never return to. And for the price of $200 for ONE night, being the cheapest place we could find, it was disappointing and not worth it.

Just an FYI a “double queen room” is a single queen bed…. Not sure why but sucks when everyone has to cram into one bed since almost all the hotels were sold out. Check in was delayed by 20 minutes even though other rooms next to ours were empty. The area is super sketchy and dirty. Literally a bag of urine and catheter on the sidewalk. Pool was closed but not advertised as such. I don’t think it has been open in ages as I was the trash area for old nasty mattresses. Room was rough and the floors were filthy. Homeless passed out everywhere and straight up scary people wandering down the road. I hate to be a hater but the day we stayed the company website said rooms were over 300 dollars! The only benefit was the ice machines did work and front office staff were friendly. They were happy to bring us a remote for the tn since it was missing, and the smoke alarm kept beeping even though housekeeping had literally just been in the room. If you can and the prices are not ridiculous stay at the nugget.

Place was in good shape given for its area and felt safe and walked around to nearby stores. Scoopers up Prater Way was very tasty. Was happy for a king size vs queen bed.

Review: Motel 6 Reno - Airport Sparks
**Rating: ★★☆☆☆ (2.5/5)**
My recent stay at the Motel 6 near the Sparks airport was a mixed bag, leaning toward disappointing due to the service and aging infrastructure. While it serves the basic purpose of a place to sleep, several areas need immediate attention.
**Service & Check-In**
The first impression was poor. The young woman at the front desk was notably rude; there was no greeting upon arrival, and she remained silent even after I thanked her. A little hospitality goes a long way, and unfortunately, it was non-existent here.
**The Room & Amenities**
* **Cleanliness:** On the bright side, the bed and linens were clean, which is the bare minimum but appreciated.
* **Atmosphere:** The room itself felt dated. There was a heavy, lingering smell of old smoke that made the space feel uninviting.
* **Electrical:** This was a major frustration—the outlets are so worn out that they **will not hold a plug**. They are loose and desperately need to be replaced for safety and functionality.
* **Climate Control:** The wall AC/heating unit was a highlight; it worked perfectly and kept the room at a comfortable temperature.
**Bathroom Quality**
The bathroom needs a renovation. The sinks have very poor water flow, and the shower is quite old with lackluster water pressure. It’s functional, but far from a refreshing experience.

Grounds were a mess. Old mattresses puled in the pool area, trash on the lawn and no accomodation for modern tech, ie no charging ports, bad lighting etc.

Sheets were freshly washed but were dingy. If these were my sheets at home they would have been donated to a local animal shelter at this point.

Due to high demand for rooms in Reno this weekend the nightly rate, $181, was well above what I would expect to pay for a room with minimal amenities, linens that should have been replaced long ago and facilities

Super Spartan accomodations, no digital clock/alarm, no microwave, no coffee maker, no mini-fridge. Just a bed and a bathroom. No pool access due to cold weather. Parking lot has a deep recess in a couple of areas for flood control so you have to be cateful backing out and moving slow, otherwise its gonna be like a mini-roller coaster that gonna stress out your shocks (and maybe your ribs).
