I stayed here as I was moving west and most other hotels were booked that I could afford. I have stayed in Motel 6 properties before - but it had been a long time. The last one I was in was actually pleasant. This one is not. The front office clerk was extremely nice, offered help with finding a local eatery and was very responsive to any questions I had. The room, which was a double, had one set of towels - meaning one bath towel, one hand towel and one wash cloth - in a room meant for 2 people. I had to go to the office to retrieve an extra set. There was a man who appeared to be walking around trying to peep into rooms that I reported to the desk on the evening I arrived. The next morning, that same man was urinating in the vending machine area, walking around barefoot, and when I reported him again, the morning clerk told me he was a long-term guest that they had a few "minor problems" with. She didn't seem fazed at all that he was using the vending area as a restroom.
There is quite a bit of traffic noise, but nothing I couldn't handle. The location is easy to get to from Interstate 80 but the construction projects going on currently (Feb 2005) make it easy to miss the exit if you aren't in the proper lane of traffic. Before you make a reservation here and/or if you are just passing through Reno and not planning to go to the casinos, I would try Boomtown, just a little further down the road. They sometimes have really good deals.
