The short version

Based on about 129 written Google reviews from the last 8 months (plus star-only ratings) after excluding 13 unreliable ones, this Sixt desk is mostly praised for quick, friendly service and good cars. Recurring complaints concern disputed damage charges after return, booked cars being unavailable or bookings refused, and hard-to-reach customer service. The web evidence is thin and mostly general or undated, so it adds little certainty.
