Hotel Motel 6 Reno West (Reno, USA)

Travelers often spoke highly of the professional, welcoming and friendly personnel at reception. Dog and cat owners loved the pet-friendly policy.

The modernized rooms appealed to reviewers, who appreciated the wood-effect floors and fresh decor. Many said they were more than sufficiently comfortable and clean for a quick stay. Those looking to spend less loved the usually affordable room rates, often adding that they got fair value for money for the area.

Guests were upbeat about this motel’s location off Interstate 80 just a short drive from downtown Reno with its casinos, attractions and entertainment spots. Drivers appreciated the ample free parking and also said it was straightforward to get to golf courses, the airport, the Amtrak station and shopping malls. Another plus was the proximity of eateries, bus stops and gas stations. The Sierra Nevada and Lake Tahoe were also within striking distance for outdoor recreation.

Light sleepers noted that certain rooms were exposed to occasional traffic noise from the nearby highway. There were also reports that noise from adjoining rooms was too easily audible at times. Smoky odors were also a nuisance for guests in certain rooms.

This motel’s policy of charging for Wi-Fi access went down like a lead balloon with visitors, who resented having to pay a small charge in order to use it. Poor network speeds and signal strength were occasionally criticized too.

Critics sometimes felt the in-room facilities were a little threadbare due to the lack of extras like coffee-makers, hairdryers and toiletries. Some guests found their rooms rather small. Stained bedding and inadequately cleaned bathrooms and bedroom floors also bothered some reviewers.
