The room was very basic, but the price and location were great, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Great place if you’re on a budget and looking for a basic room with no frills.

Typical Motel 6 that is older and is the midst of being updated. The guests are not the best at keeping the common areas free of trash. The staff do their best to help.

Should have known when I walked into the lobby and the staff was behind bullet proof glass. Checked out immediately after checking in. Hotel was filthy and smelled like cigarettes. Didn’t stay long enough to look for roaches or bed bugs but I wouldn’t be shocked if they were there. Pictures shown are not even close to what the hotel actually looks like.

The rooms had a very unpleasant odor, and the overall guest experience was disappointing. The Wi-Fi connection was poor, and I found the front office staff to be rude and lacking basic customer service skills.

During my stay, one staff member abruptly ended a phone call while I was inquiring about a late checkout, and another called back in a manner that I perceived as intimidating and unprofessional.

This was by far the worst experience I have had with any hotel property. As a result, I decided to move to the same hotel brand in Germantown, where the staff have been courteous, professional, and attentive to guests' needs.

I hope the management of this property will invest more in staff training and guest relations to improve the experience for future guests.

Room was clean. The bathtub appeared to be newer, but there wasn't a rubber mat, nor anything stuck to the bottom of the tub to keep people from slipping, sliding and falling. I fell once while trying to bend over to get the soap for washing and then again while I was hanging onto the handicap bar and trying to turn around to get rinsed off. We put a towel on the tub floor to keep from slipping. I informed the front desk when I checked out.

Motel 6 used to cost $6..this location should charge $6..meth-head with 5 kids next door..dogs without leashes..chikdren playing in parking and driveway up to midnight...staff rude and dismissive..will not allow anyone to stay >28 days here or on any maryland super 8
Location can be safe or dangerous; no security.
Get staff upset with any question, you are invited to leave. If you don't, they threaten to call the police
Nice location..building has not been renovated in 50 years
Staff & housekeeping barely speaks english
I guess you get what you pay for
Cheapest in area..for a reason
Pay $10 ..more per night elsewhere is better
Roaches in room
Premises reaks of pot..many room)s, too
Why..smolking allowed in many rooms
They rip off your secirity deposit and play with your rate=beware
Always..book weekly at hotel to save money..on-line to hace hotels.com protection
TV did not work 1st night
Air conditioning never worked properly because it appears as old as hotel
Housekeeping was always friendly..but they knock on your door early daily because this \"cheap motel\" has no \"do not disturb sogn'
Panhandlees who are druggie stay there
Kids noisy on balconies up to midnight
The 28 rule prevents anyone from getting sales tax for stays > 31 days. Notvwarned before..so this is bait & switch.Other than superp location..i would stay at any of over two dozen gaithersburg & germantown hotels

Even extended stay is competitive/but serious drugs

Not an ideal place to stay

When we got to the room, it was not serviced. Smelled smoke even though it was non-smirking room. I went to the front desk immediately & we got a new room. The front desk lady was very apologetic & talking with the service person as I got a new key.

The hotel was renovated somewhat, but you can tell that it was an old facility. The drain in the shower was not great. Even though the bed sheets looked clean & didn’t smell, I think I got strange bug bite in my back.

I could tell that there were certain amount of long-term guests in this hotel. There were some children screaming & running around.

The location was convenient for what we were doing next day. We expected that this was not ideal place to stay, so we were able to tolerate. If you expect something more than what it is, you may be disappointed.

I am asthmatic and the bathroom was full of mold and mildew!!! I got the room for work and had a hard time sleeping due to having chest pain and chest tightness... The bathroom is old and rusted, meaning you can see the rust everywhere!!! I had to leave out to get cleaning supplies and air freshener just so I could sleep in the room... And the bed was hard and uncomfortable. There were gnats and flies in the room as well. The best part about the room were the pillows....

Not for Nonsmokers, Loud, Questionable Safety

Cons:
Cigarette smoke in a nonsmoking room. Don’t go if the smell bothers you. Everything we had with us stank of smoke when we got home.

The barrier between me and the person that checked me in made me feel unsafe. It looked like bulletproof glass. It was more substantial than what they have at my bank. If we weren’t desperate I would have walked away.

Loud at night. After sunset there were people hanging out in front of their rooms playing music and talking loudly. We didn’t spend the night so I don’t know how loud it was later on.

Pros:
Pet friendly, I like that you can enter your room from the outside since our little dogs are fearful of strange people/dogs.

The little table and seats are comfortable and convenient.

Walls had holes in them the sink and shower fixtures were loose. And to top it all off, there is train tracks that runs right next to the parking lot all night.

Check-in was quick and I got a room on the ground level on the backside if the hotel. The AC unit was filthy dirty with caked on dust and no cover over the screen. The bathroom was dirty but most concerning was the room reeked of smoke. It was a non-smoking room but it was a strong odor. I have stayed at Motel 6 in the past and was very happy with the facilities. The basics of a room stay were not there, no soap, no cups or coffee maker, I would not stay here again.

I had a very bad experience. The management charged me for a night for which I had already paid through hotels.com. Hotels.com refused to resolve the problem with the motel reasoning that there have been no charges made on behalf of the hotel/motel, which was simply a lie. The receipt with charges was provided to the hotels.com representative. I have an impression that these things happen and hotels.com does not take responsibility to resolve them.
