"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.
