Motel 6

The last day on my stay here, I was sitting in bed eating pizza and finally just getting comfortable after a long day. I looked up and noticed something crawling on the wall come to find, it was a fucking COCKROACH! Nasty motel. I do not recommend staying here!

Never be back again. The most disgusting experience of my life. How could you rent a room with out checking the bath room. See the pictures what I discovered after checking in.

I was pleasantly surprised by this Motel 6! I had a really comfortable stay here over the weekend, and it seriously was not sketchy at all. For $ 75 I really don’t think you can find a better deal along and within the beltway.
I booked here last minute because my plan to stay with a friend the night before the Army 10 Miler fell through. This was far from my top choice, as I was willing to spend a lot more for a slightly higher end chain. Most places were booked up, however, and they had availability. I was scared that it was going to be a combo of dirty and sketchy, but it was just the opposite. Clean and safe, and close to a lot of restaurants and the Springfield metro station.
As other reviewers mentioned, it is no frills– no breakfast or even shampoo (there is soap though). It’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make for the price. Staff were also friendly (though the guy I spoke with when making the reservation was not). I’ll definitely remember this Motel 6 when I need a cheap place to crash near DC in the future.

First off, let me tell you, if you are staying for 7 days or more, go somewhere else. The will only clean you room twice (Fridays and Tuesdays), which sucks when you arrive on Friday. I only get 1 cleaning day, when I had relatives stay for 6 days, and they got cleaned every day. You can request a fresh up, which I did, and after a long day of sightseeing in DC, came back to an untouched room. The rooms are all hardwood, which are good for keeping away bedbugs, but dangerous if you have wet shoes, or just came out of shower. Speaking of the shower, it is very slick. My son slipped multiple times, I even slipped occasionally. If you have balance issues, this is not a good place. Smoking is allowed on the upper floor. The place does have 2 washers and dryers, but the one dryer goes for 39 minutes and the other is 83 minutes??? All in all, I would avoid this location until they can fix it up, or improve it’s safety.

This is exactly what an economy hotel should be. The rooms are clean. The service is good, and the hotel is pet-​friendly. If you’ve been hesitant to stay at a Motel 6, this hotel will assuage your fears. Now they don’t give you shampoo and conditioner, there’s no breakfast and the area surrounding the hotel is a little run down (not unsafe, just not that nice), but for only $ 80 a night, you can’t get a better rate in an expensive area like this one. I’d recommend this if you’re looking for a clean room right off the highway.

Small but clean room. Sparse (e.g., no closet), but bed is comfortable. Friendly staff. It’s a value hotel, and I have seen much worse. I will stay again.

We are traveling from Illinois to our new home in Maryland. Myself, my wife, our 2 babies (6 months and 1.5 years) and our three dogs. It is a 12 hour and 40 minute drive with no stops, an additional two hours for baby food breaks. We drive through the storm that is killing New York, in two separate cars. Thank you navy for refusing to ship one car to make the trip more manageable, but I digress. We are still waiting to close on our house so we have to stay in a hotel for three nights. We get in at 550 AM. Two cranky babies, a tired wife, three excited dogs. I go to check in, worried that I am going to have to pay for another night that will just be about five hours of sleep NOT counting baby feeding and unpacking, and I meet Sam. He greets me with a smile, the first glimmer of light on this torturous journey. Then he finds a better rate than I had booked online. Excellent. Then he lets us check in as an early check in instead of paying for a few hours. Outstanding. Then he helps me out with the various things we need over the next three hours, from taking out our trash and getting us new towels (one baby puked all over herself and her car seat, quietly) to helping with getting our stuff brought in. EPIC. He epitomizes what customer service should be. For a hotel you are paying roughly $ 60 a night for, it is not bad at all. Our room had a clean bathroom, everything worked (sink, shower, toilet), the room had a mini fridge and microwave, and modular furniture that fit the room nicely with out taking up a ridiculous amount of space like a lot of hotels. Bed was clean and comfortable and we spent our three nights there with no problems. For the price you pay you get a decent room with great customer service. If you want a resort for $ 60 a night, you clearly don’t know what $ 60 gets you.

Pros:
— The service was very good. Both the gentleman we interacted with at the front desk were warm and cordial. Seriously, the best service I’ve ever had at a motel or hotel.
— They were very dog friendly and will give you free plastic bags on request. As a bonus, if you have a well behaved dog, they have no problem with you leaving your dog in the room alone — but you do have to alert the front desk of this fact before you leave so that housekeeping doesn’t go into your room or accidentally let your dog out.
— The price was reasonable for the Northern Virginia area.
Cons:
— The area wasn’t quite as sketchy as some of the other reviewers suggested (I grew up in Springfield so I know that there are waaaay sketchier places in my home town) but its location underneath a freeway overpass is less than inspiring.
— I am a huge fan of no-​frill places but they provided NO EXTRAS. That means no coffee maker, no little bars of soap, no shampoo, nothing.
— They charge for two tiers of WiFi and I can’t speak for the upper tier, but the lower tier was molasses slow.
— The rest of the room was reasonably clean (no bed bugs yay) but the floors in our room were sticky… I didn’t even want to know why.
Bottom line:
This is a good place to go if you are looking for reasonably priced accommodations AND are traveling with pets but don’t go in with too many expectations.

Very good service. Front desk staff are always polite, and the rooms are clean and comfortable.

Requested handicap room at least with hand held shower. We didn’t get that. The tub floor was so slippery I was afraid with my agility problems. The room had no raised toilet which is the first thing an alledged handicapped room has. The TV was not working well. Mattress and pillows terrible. We might as well slept on the floor. We live nearby but forced from home because of no water. We probably won’t ever stay in a Motel 6 again because of this experience.

I would have rather slept in our car than in this place but we had reservations. I question my own sanity with this choice.
It is located in an industrial area and the aura of the neighborhood was sketchy.
Our small room fridge had what looked like blood on the bottom right shelf. Eewww
There were no rugs so our dogs were sliding around. The bathroom light seemed to be attached to an engine.
The hallway rugs had old pee spots.
However, the staff was helpful and the dogs were not charged extra.

I have read other reviews and they were obviously written by the owner… dont get me wrong, they are politically correct/​cordial in that middle eastern kind of way, but at the same time, they are stereotypically stingy/​low class in that middle eastern kind of way. They smile while they charge you $ 4.99 (per device per day) for the «premium» WIFI which cannot stream YouTube or netflix. (Regular WiFi is$ 2.99 per device per day)
They have also adjusted the mixing valves in the single handle faucets to only let the water become lukewarm… after that, I’m out of here…
I’m glad I came here before I brought my crew up here…42 guys would have been sooooomad at me!
I wanted to rate no stars but they won’t let me…
P. S. … Later found out that they also cut the hotwater heaters off late and in the morning so I hope you like cold showers unless you shower between 5:30 — 7:30 p.m. (so low class, I cant even begin to tell you) I like a shower in the morning… Boo!

It not the best of the motel changes. But it will help to stay when you are in the middle of moving.
The also have weekly pricing for short or long term stay.
—MOTEL: Nice but out of the way Motel. Very small lobby and nice and helpful staff. They try to help the best way they can. It been remodeled nice room and a ice, soda, snake vending machines, free coffee in the morning. But in no washer and dryer. Iron board and hair dryer.
—ROOMS: There are very nice but not the best of motel but it clean and no smoke in the air. Free WiFi. They change the sheets every other day. Free local calls and a room service from local venders you can order from.
—LOCATION: Metro bus run near by. Stores and subway store and also Chinese restaurant, A shopping center and a mall at work on new reopening. A McD a cross the bridge. A place near to wash you clothing. It located on the end of the road so not many car be driving by. But it on the side of a highway but you can never hear it in side the motel.
If I need a place if I had to move I wood pick this place. Hope it not soon.
