Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.

Good Stay for working trave at an Affordable Value

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.

Never again

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.
