What guests think

At Motel 6-Frederick, MD - Fort Detrick, guests describe a budget, no-frills stay with renovated but worn spaces, friendly front desk encounters for many, and recurring complaints about cleanliness, maintenance issues, lingering smoke or weed odors, and spotty Wi-Fi.

Facilities feel limited and inconsistent during ongoing renovations, with a closed pool, blocked areas, nonworking elevators or ice machines, and generally adequate but sometimes awkward parking. The location is convenient to highways, stores, and restaurants, and several guests appreciated the large grassy area for dogs; some noted occasional safety concerns or disturbances. Overall, expect a very basic stop that trades amenities for price.

Awful property. Stayed 2 nights. Night #1 heater/AC unit died. No one to fix it. Huge cricket in the room. Tried to kill it but he hid under the heater/AC. Didn't sleep at all. Bedding was awful. Sheet was paper thin, blanket was only slightly thicker. Mattress was completely shot. Night #2 I asked for another room. No housekeeping that day and no maintenance people to fix the heater/AC. They accommodated me. 2nd room had another cricket! I got him. Same bad bedding and worn out mattress. Food stain on wall and scuff marks. Exterior, one stairway was blocked off with plywood and caution tape. Spend a little more tomstay somewhere else.

I was very disappointed with Motel 6. Recently the ones ive stayex with had been remoded and updated, not this particular location.The outside corridors had bags of trash and box of empty beer cans. Door key card didn't work, bathroom toilet overflowed, mattresses were hard as rocks and blanket had holes in it. Staff was accommodating about fixing key problem and moving our room.

I’ve stay here because it has a large well maintained grassy area for dogs. Honestly, it’s lush green grass with shade trees and flowers planted for eye appeal! Almost like a city park but quieter. The room was spacious. Staff is incredibly friendly. There is some remodeling currently happening which makes it a bit of a construction zone. Footnote that. For the price though, you should happy. Plenty of food options all less than a few city blocks away including multiple grocery stores.

Pluses: bed was clean comfortable. Shower/tub diverted was broken and water was not very hot. The center section of the hotel was barricaded off assuming due to renovations but that caused a further walk to get to the room. I arrived late evening and was back on the road early so it suited the purpose for the price.

Drove from Indianapolis, IN to Frederick, MD on August 17 2023. Stayed in room # 205 and cockroaches are all over place. That’s disgusting. Be aware not to leave your luggages on the floor otherwise you'll transfer the cockroaches to your own home. To be safe I end up treating all my luggages and clothes before taking them home. This is the last time I'm staying at this Motel 6. Can you imagine that there's no microwave in the room and the lobby microwave is so tiny that a full plate can barely fit in. This place need a new management, one that will take the business seriously. Until then, no one should stay there for sanitary healthy reasons.

Just utterly horrible stay. I’m in my late 50s and fairly well-traveled, and this was hands-down The Worst place I’ve ever stayed. The desk was manned by an angry, bitter woman who obviously despises her job. Every time we stepped out of our room, we were harassed by drunk guys who seemed a permanent feature of the upper floor. We never felt safe. Plus our room was filthy, with sticky urine on the floor around the toilet, tar shoe marks on the sheets, and not even a blanket on a bed. Angry desk woman said it was because they don’t have housekeeping. I’ve left a lot out here, but bottom line: if you’re considering staying here, do yourself a favor and splurge an extra $10 to stay somewhere- anywhere- else. The cheap rate is too costly.

It was just filthy. Gnats and large flies all over the room. The heater did not work and it was 40 degrees outside. The tub had streaks of scum in the walls and the sink had visible mildew on it. And the cherry on the top…there was a used soap bar in the shower with hair on it. I stayed about a month ago and the room was decent. This appeared to have been a cleaning issue, minus the broken heater.

There were spiders all over the shower curtain, knats came out of the sink drain when I turned on the water and the WiFi didn’t work! Outside my room in the courtyard, young people who were either drunk or high partied all night and yelled and screamed and it was just awful, I cancelled my planned 2nd night here!

Was it amazing? No. Was it a place to stay? Yes. Did I know what I was getting into? Yes. Am I going to be honest? Yes. They’re going under renovations around the property. The staff was great. The room is good, outdated bathroom, just worn out. Everything was clean, just worn. Room is a echo to it. If someone sneezes loud enough, you’ll hear it in the next room. My stay, somebody was having a rave the whole night. It’s just gonna depend on the day and the time you stay there I guess.

The room itself was decent. Clean. Had a light switch that did nothing. Part that ruined the stay was the person next door played loud music all night - the same song and tried to rap it too. Called the desk in the morning, apparently it's not the first complaint. The guy tried to intimidate us when we left. I won't hold it against the chain of used another motel 6, but will hold it against this one for allowing someone like that to stay. Also the moto of "leaving the light on for you" is true. They were off and it was dark when we checked in. Trying to find the lights was a pain. Also the TV doesn't have channel options.

First room the heat wasn't functioning at all - we waited a while hoping it would warm up but had to ask for a different room. The front desk was not apologetic at all and grudgingly gave us another room. - this room was dirty - no one even used the shower because of how dirty it looked. we were just glad for a bed and heat at that point and just didn't want to talk to the staff at the front desk that were rude at best.

It’s a good place to stay if you have a dog! Large green space that is landscaped professionally! Big oak trees. It’s a relatively quiet Motel 6 when inside the room. Outside you do have highway traffic noise so just note that. There is a Chipotle next door and lots of other eateries so that’s good, too.

Unfortunately the refrigerator room really only has a mini fridge…no coffee maker even. The bed was clean and comfortable but very squeaky. The floor had not been washed in who knows how long and the shower barely put out enough water to rinse shampoo. We were missing a lightbulb in the room and the front desk attendant could not help me since the maintenance man was not there that day. I knew it would be a simple room but I was sadly disappointed with our stay.
