BELIEVE THE REVIEWS!!! We got to the motel and no one was at the counter, called multiple times and heard the phone ring from their front desk (the door inside to the check in area was locked). Waited about 45 minutes, until the poor housekeeping woman working there asked if I needed to check in, she ended up calling the guy who runs the place. Lo and behold, the owner was in there the whole time behind a closed door. When we eventually ended up getting our room - there was no shower curtain, no showerhead, no TV/microwave/fridge, no toiletries (including TP), and the warm water handle on our sink was snapped off. The blankets seemed to be covered in mold, so we slept in our jackets. I was able to shower in my friends room, the water was freezing cold and wouldn’t get warm. Only positives I can think of is that nothing was stolen from our room and there were seemingly no bedbugs. Avoid this place at all costs and shell out a bit more for a Red Roof or something. I wish I could get a refund, but I hope the money I spent is going towards paying the housekeeping woman who helped us out and getting supplies for the people staying there longterm - I feel bad for them.

Small wall unit heater could not warm the room up. Needed to wear heavy clothes in the room. There was dirt or something else between the 2 sheets. No television or a chair to sit at the desk. After I had checked it somebody else was given my room and I needed to move rooms.

Worst hotel in Alexandria

I stayed here with my family for 4 nights the first room we were put in had no running water. Our second room had no hot water or heat. I had to buy a heater to keep us warm. Our fuse blew out twice in this room that we were left in for the whole night. The next day we were moved to another room that had no hot water and roaches. We had no number on our door.our phones were unusable in our closets and we were given a microwave and refrigerator but both did not work at all.On our final night we came back to our hotel door being wide open (luckily none of our stuff was stolen) it was just a rough stay and probably the most horrible experience I have ever experienced

If you like waiting in the freezing cold while on the phone with Expediafor 30 minutes just to get your room, this is the place to go. Waterlogged rooms included, rugs will be completely soaked. They'll apologize and "upgrade" your room. Sure it will have two beds now, but it looks just like the first room. Waterlogged, with dirty towels, and what looks like pigeon feces on the woo

I deeply regret not reading the Google reviews for this property before booking it. We visited in January when it was very cold. Our first room we were given had a shattered window that had been punched in. The staff said they'd be fixing it, but offered to show us another room. The other room had a broken toilet and water running all over the bathroom floor. We went back to the broken window room, which was very cold, I had assumed because the window was broken. Well, the staff replaced the window that evening before we got back to go to bed, and the room was still freezing cold. Turns out the heat did not work at all. We slept in all our clothes huddled closely for warmth. The next day, the hot water had run out and that made showering unbearable. There were disgusting stains and cigarette holes all over the bedding, and the whole place stank of cigarettes and urine. Also, a maintenance man spoke to me in a way that made me feel very unsafe, and there were vagrant folks hanging around the property (who I'm not inherently uncomfortable with, but it gives you an idea of what kind of place this motel is). I guess we at least didn't see any cockroaches as other guests have, since it's the middle of winter. Absolutely worst place I've ever stayed at in my entire life. Just spend a little more money and go somewhere down the street that actually has heat, hot water, and functional toilets.

Office wasn’t open till 2 hours after check in time. On the first night of my stay, I attempted to use the provided microwave in my room, which tripped the fuse. The room was completely without power, and there was no one onsite to help me, and no one willing to answer the telephone. Eventually I packed up and left. I tried calling several times the next day, but again no answer

I had booked a room for one night. I was given a room with no toilet paper, no lamps, no TV, no towels. When I tried to contact the attendant that I won’t be staying there, he was no where to be found. Calls went right to voice mail. The hotel has now refused my refund. Don’t stay here. It’s gross that

This should not be legal

Apart from this, there was no heating in the room and there was a combined heating and air conditioning unit that did not work and only made the room colder.

It's cool but not great

It's clean as it gets for a $65-$80 hotel but the service sucks power goes out and some heaters don't work so I won't recommend it for winter. But overall it's a nights stay if that
