There is NOTHING good to say about this place. Do NOT stay here!! The person that greeted us took a while to come to the desk. He stunk so bad it made us nauseated. Then we got to our "non-smoking room" and the comforters were all cigarette burned. The white walls were absolutely disgusting. There was actually stuff hanging off of them. There was dirt wedged in all the corners. Not only was it stinky, and filthy, it was super noisy. The pool was drained and disgusting. Overall it was one of the WORST hotel experiences ever.

This is a great place to stay for long-distance travelers on a budget. Nice accommodations. There is plenty of available free parking & the parking lot is always well-lit. It's close to everything, including food, gas, beauty & shopping. Pleasant managers & staff. Good customer service. They make you feel right at home.

Pleasant stay. Friendly atmosphere. Economical & clean rooms. They don't offer room service but you are provided with a menu of places that deliver food to your room. The coffeevis always hot which is great on cool & cold days. Hassle-free experience every time.

I travel for work often & find myself staying at the Motel 6 in Alexandria. The check-in experience is fast & hassle-free! I really enjoy the many hot cups of coffee, warm greetings, and good vibes from the hotel manager & staff. There is always available in the lobby which ensures my safety because there is always someone on the premises when needed. My room is spacious & very clean. This motel located within close proximity to restaurants & local stores which is a plus. I wouldn't recommend anywhere else to stay when you're traveling here for work.

I travel to Alexandria frequently for work & stay at the Motel 6-Studio 6 on McArthur Drive. Rooms are spacious, clean & sanitized. It gives off cozy vibes like an extended-stay home away from home on an affordable budget. Can't beat the price! Parking lot has lots of lights & security cameras. It's easier to see your vehicle & you feel safe during your stay. The managers & staff arewell approachable, people-oriented, children-friendly & are always available to help you address your concerns. I enjoy those random conversations over hot coffee. Located close to everything...convenient stores, shopping, restaurants, hospitals, dental offices & the like. On those long tired days, when you just don't feel like dining-out, you can order in from the menu provided in your room.

I frequently experience a great short-stay when I am here. I feel it's safe to park my vehicle, safe for myself, & staff members are always on site if I have questions or concerns. I just love the management & have made Motel this a frequent destination to stay when I work in Alexandria.

The room was tidy. The floor was dirty, but the room was critter free. Unfortunately, the mini-refrigerator still had items from the previous occupant and the items had spoiled and mold had grown inside. I used my cleaning supplies to remove the mold and wipe it down. I left baking soda inside to remove any lingering odors.

The place needs to burn down to the ground honestly and then scrape and rebuild something nice in this place. Considering the electrical issues that were in my room, it’s probably not gonna be long before it happens anyway. Hairballs in every corner. Feces on the bed covers Pillows were so old that they were yellow and dingy. The door didn’t lock. Electrical socket in the bathroom didn’t work. The light in the toilet and tub area didn’t work. The toilet wouldn’t flush the bathroom sink wouldn’t drain. The towels had holes in them. They were so old. The floors had been mopped in about a month. I’m gonna stop right there, but don’t ffhdking stay here.

1st room: bed wasn’t made, room hadn’t been cleaned 2nd room: filthy 3rd room: BLOOD stains on the pillows! Our only other option was to sleep in our car. So we slept in our clothes on top of the blankets and used the towels that we had to go get(none in the room) as a pillow. The ONLY good thing was that the staff refunded us our money for the 4 nights we had originally reserved.

I asked for a non-smoking room. I was placed in a smoking room. Person on duty said that someone had smoked in the room and sprayed the room with a scented spray, however the smell did not go away. It was a miserable stay smelling the "smoking" smell all night long. I thought motel 6 had revamped itself, I guess not this particular property. I know what the response would be for thos review and am not looking for an apology. Make it good, a full refund would be nice for this terrible experience.

I would highly recommend this place over the America's Best Value Inn right down the road. They are sooo rude! And they have bad reviews. The rooms here are super nice and clean!

When I arrived, I had to wait 20 minutes to even check in because the only worker had left the premises to pick up a coworker who didn’t have a vehicle, leaving the place unattended. The room was filthy, floor was covered in filth. Couldn’t even turn the television off because the batteries went dead in the remote. Very inconvenient. Heard loud noises all night coming from outside and smells of marijuana filled the premises. Very very dissatisfied.
