Motel 6

Want to give no stars of course this dirty ass motel what the fuck, just going through a month here before moving was a fukking hell hole. Bitten by bed bugs with my two children. 3 or more yes 3 or more mice running through my room a night not just one room but every time I reported an infestation I had the same issues in my new rooms. what was the point motel 6? The bed bugs to roaches to nasty ass roaches please people pick another hotel hopefully in silver spring please

Unilocal should really consider the option for a zero star IMO. I reserved a room here for a couple of friends for a DOUBLE bed room. Once my friends checked in, they informed them they only had a KING and were completely booked for the weekend! Not only that my friends told me that the room was not clean and that the bed sheets looked unwashed. This booking was placed WEEKS in advance for Howards homecoming, but clearly they overbooked. This establishment should be closed remodeled into a parking garage! #terrible

Despite the bad reviews we booked this hotel and it is absolutely not so bad. We had a good time here and the desk was very friendly.
The manager Negassa was super friendly and helped out where needed.
Very nice restaurants in Tacoma Park at walking distance. Try out the Olive Lounge.
Give this motel a try! Prices are also very reasonable.

Way too expensive, no microwave, no refrigerator, AC sucks, too tired to keep going on.
Update 8÷2÷2015−− They don’t have cable they have directv and 7 of the listed channels on their channel pamphlet don’t come in. 1 channel comes in completely muted. Also, THERE ARE ROACHES HERE. DISGUSTING! !!!

Checked in then right out. This place blew my mind with dirt, stained bed spreads, smaller than usual room, no fridge, microwave balancing on a garbage pail, what looked to be a gun shot in the wall, etc. When you go to check in, front desk is separated by thick plexi glass (bullet proof?) window. That’s it for Motel 6’s for me. The owners need to do a walk through!

So, had the interior of my house painted Not wanting to sleep in paint fumes, I opted to stay at the neighborhood motel. Mistake!
The receptionist was quite friendly, nice, professional. I was off to a good start, or so I thought. Assigned to room 407, off I went to my room. Okay, so the room was small. That, however, was not a problem. The color scheme, orange and beige, was actually quite nice.
And now for the first problem. I made the mistake of turning the TV on. Snow, I tell you, nothing but snow showed on that antiquated thing. Picked up the phone, dialed 0 for Front Desk, and got bupkis! No answer. Perhaps the nice young lady was busy. Hungry anyway, I prepared to go to a local carry out, which meant I’d see her on my way out. Wow! The lobby is empty! She’s doing nothing. (Damn! Why didn’t you answer the phone?)
Okay, so the Maintenance Man walked to the front desk just as I’m telling her that I either need a new room or a new television. He was nice, courteous and said he’d take care of it.
Upon my return, there was a new antiquated television in place, that actually worked! Now, though, I need to use the bathroom. Oh boy! The light doesn’t work. One must turn on the sauna/​heat light in order to see. Probably didn’t want one to see because of the mold behind the sink faucet, or the filthy wall. Oh yeah, and the shower head that looks to be coming off/​out of the wall. It’s 80+ degrees outside, and I have to use a heat light to use the bathroom? WTF!!!
The bathroom is tee-​nintsy! Goodness, I had to leave the door open because it was just plain claustrophobic! Good thing because the door had been broken at some point in time and a shoddy repair job was done.
Nope, won’t do that again. Will NOT stay there for any reason.
Other issues: open/​exposed electrical outlet; stained bed cover; dingy sheets. Ugh!

They have Bed Bugs!!! I came in for an 11 pm check in… I put my head down for 20 mins… I was bitten with in 20 mins… I was terrified as I saw the bugs crawling in the bed. I immediately picked up my things and ran out of the room went to the lobby and demanded my money back.
The woman at the counter said after 20 mins being in the room you can’t get your money back… I proceeded to show her my fresh bites… so then gave me my refund. Not to mention they were still renovating and had the hall ways looking a mess. It was so horrible. It took a week for the swelling and the bite to calm down.
It’s crazy cause all I needed was one night of sleep!:(
I was not leaving with out it!
Please stay away from this location!!!
The only reason I gave them a star is because I got my money back!
Or you will have unexpected visitors in your bed!!!

**STAYED OCT 8 — CHECKED OUT 11 AM OCT 9– RECENT REVIEW**
Okay. Just stayed here on October 8, checked out October 9. Got one smoking room with a king size bed (don’t remember but may have been all that was left) — $ 88 booked on Expedia.
Blanket had cigarette burns in the bottom of it. One or two little holes. The bed wasn’t the most comfortable, but not the least either. Slept well enough.
*BRING YOUR OWN TOILETRIES*
Called up to the desk to ask and they don’t have ANYTHING. No shampoo, No conditioner, no tooth paste and the hair dryer on the wall didn’t work.
The hotel wasn’t majorly loud. Was in a safe enough part of town. As long as you use common sense you’ll be fine. Cab drivers in this area seem pretty skeevy, one hit on me as I was leaving the cab on the way back into the hotel.
Also the safe in our room would not lock.
The police station is right down the road. 930 club is about 10 – 15 minutes from here. Plan on any taxi ride being at least $ 15 from there to 930 club.
Make sure you don’t get into a luxury cab. I rode the 10 minutes to the 930 club in one by accident and it was $ 34. Before you get into that taxi and move anywhere, ask how much it will be.
TV actually had some decent channels on it. Flat screen TV. windows open. Make sure they’re locked before bed. Heater and AC worked just fine.
Definitely the spot I will pick to stay if I ever go to another show at the 930 club. Or really to DC at all if I’m on a budget. Almost every other hotel you will find in the area is $ 150 and up. This place is the bare essentials but it works if you’re just sleeping there. I’m not aware if there’s any breakfast offered of any kind but I remember seeing they had coffee.
There’s a mcdonalds in the area for a cheap meal. DC is known for expense so I hope this helps some people. The only thing I will say for sure is regardless, its a city. DON’T WALK ALONE AT NIGHT. PERIOD. Don’t skirt by on your trip without emergency money or transportation money.
Two concert goers said they had come from SC for the show I went to. (AFI 930 club Oct 8) — they spent like $ 265 a piece on the train ride, and stayed in (what I assume they must have thought was the cheapest nearby) hotel on E street for like $ 150 a night. They said they didn’t even have any money left over for the metro (which is $ 3) — there were no resources. I thought of EVERY POSSIBLE AVENUE– DD service, police, everything. Nothing helped them. They had to walk.
DO NOT plan on coming to DC, even cheap areas, without money. Plan. Budget.
This hotel does the job. Common sense will make your stay here much more enjoyable, and in the city as a whole.
Budget, bring your own toiletries, and don’t go anwhere alone at night.
I enjoyed my stay here, will come back everytime I come to see a show at (THE AMAZING– check out my review on their page) 9:30 club.

I stayed here for a little more than a week while I was in the process of moving, taking finals at university, and getting ready to fly back home to California.
This place isn’t bad. I needed a place to stay, and I was given a room at a reasonable price. This motel isn’t located in the greatest neighbourhood, but I certainly never felt unsafe (though I would never venture out alone at night). The Takoma metro station is within walking distance, but not super close. I chose once to take the bus from the metro to this hotel, and I ended up waiting longer for the bus than it would have taken me to walk back.
They provide you with a safe for your belongings in your room; you make up the pass code lock yourself, and that came in handy when I had to leave for school and I didn’t want my laptop and other valuables just laying around.
I liked this place so much, and its reasonable rates, that when I came back for Fall semester, I stayed there for a few days before my new apartment was ready for me. They were even helpful when I asked if it were possible for me to stay an extra night.
There was a lot provided for the guests that I would have never expected from a Motel 6. There’s a washer and dryer, which is nice, free WiFi, vending machines, and even a little kitchen with tables to heat up food and eat your meal (free coffee, too, if I remember correctly).
The only thing I could have done without were the ants in my bathroom. Oh, and the rickety elevator.

This place is in a shady area, but there’s lots of buses that take you directly to and from there to the Capital! This hotel is not that great quality, but hey, that’s the price you pay for. They don’t serve free coffee or provide soaps like other hotels, and their service is so-​so.
You get a cheapo TV in the cramped room, and you don’t get internet here. There’s one computer in the lounge for internet so that’s kinda crappy.
Basically, I’d pay more for a better hotel the next time I’m in DC haha

Ok hotel in a ok part of the city.
Right on the 70÷71÷79 bus lines which operate between Silver Spring and Downtown D.C./Southwest.
