The sheets were dirty and it took the desk clerk an hour to bring us clean sheets. The facilities were decrepit and noisy. Overall, I cannot recommend this facility for other fine tripadvisor travelers. But then, it is a motel 6, and we stopped in the middle of a snow storm and they had a room. But then, on the other hand, it was disgusting. So weigh these factors accordingly.

We stopped at the Motel 6 after an exhausting trip over the mountains with snow chains (this was a new experience for us!). This was the first motel we came to. At 12am it seemed like a fine place to sleep. Our room was clean. When I woke up, however, there were some questionable people lingering around the parking lot. I would not stay there again.

This place was trashy, we pulled in and noticed that there was no water in the pool, they had asured my cousion that they had a pool when he booked the room for us. They did not have our room ready and said it would be an hour and a half before they had one ready. They told us there was another motel 6 down the road, so we drove looking for it and only found drunks and drugies. So we drove down 4th st and ended up staying at the Bonanza Inn, they had a big pool and it had water in it, they gave us a great deal on a room for 2 nights. We were upset that the woman at motel 6 was so rude to us, but its ok, they wont be seeing us in any of there motels again. So if you want a nice room, walking distance to the casinos and a nice big clean pool with water in it then try the Bonanza Inn on 4th st. They know how to treat people nice.

I have stayed in many, many Motel 6's on the west coast. I like them because of price and pet friendliness. Some properties are nearly new, and some are old and worn. Some can be on the dirty side. I normally rate them from a two to 4 and the occasional 5. For the money, you usually get a great experience.

This Motel 6 in Sparks, however, had many strikes against it. It was old and worn, and then dirty on top of that (garbage under the bed). The front desk service was very poor (the person working it looked worn, tired and dirty, too). There were two people getting rooms before me and one was definitely homeless and possibly drug involved.

Looking at many of the other people staying there, I got the feeling that it must be the sleeze motel of the area. I'm pretty tolerant of people and their differences, but I get nervous when I start sensing a possible high crime rate. I did not feel safe in the Sparks Motel 6.

My mother had advised me against staying there, because she and my Dad did, way back in the 90's and this was their experience. I thought maybe things had improved or that she was over-reacting. Next time, I'll listen to Mom.
