Motel 6 Ashland

I am not picky and I’ve stayed in hotels of all levels if comfort all over the world. THIS PLACE IS A DUMP. I am shocked that Motel 6 would allow it’s sign to be placed in front of this shit hole! Even though it’s a Motel 6 for $ 45 doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t expect a standard of cleanliness and functionality. A complete shit show from «go.» Din’t get me wrong, I don’t have a pristine ass but I didn’t even want to sit down on the toilet. BTW – the wifi server name is (no kidding), «Mice Shit In The Room.“My genital crabs were like, «wtf is this guy bringing us to this crap hole for?» Just kidding. I don’t have picky genital crabs… they loved it there.

Worst experience I have ever had being at a hotel. First when I check in to the hotel room I paid for the room smelled like animal urine. A very strong smell came from the room. I called the employee at the front desk over and told them that the room smelled very bad and the guy apologized and moved me to another room. Once moved to the second room the key card for the lock didn’t work. Then once he gives me a new card I go into the room and realize that the sheets are the same sheets as the prior guests. There was still hair and stains in the sheets that I again pointed out to the employee. Then my card doesn’t work again and I call the employee, I then get new sheets put on my bed and another apology. Then when I go to use the bathroom the bathroom is still very dirty. There are bugs all over the room. Then the worst part, the towels which are still wet and there’s hair on them and look like they have been used by the prior customer. I look at them and it looks like they were picked up off the floor and refolded. I let the guy that does the room service know what’s going on he apologizes and said it will be fixed right away. Me and my wife leave to DC and drive back and get back to Virginia around midnight that day. Little to my surprise the key card doesn’t work again. Then when I call the guy at the front desk again he apologizes and opens the door for me. When I opened the door the room still had the same towels thrown on the floor. Same sheets nothing was made or cleaned. The room was exactly as I left it. I was furious but when I asked why I was told by the guy that does the room service, «I shouldn’t have taken my day off today» and then told that if I wanted room service I had to request it. Then to top things off I wait 30 minutes for new towels and sheets and then the guy that does the room service’s wife knocks on the door and says. «I don’t work here but my husband does and I wanted to know if you wanted me to make your bed for you?» And then she asked me if I wanted towels. I call
and was on the phone with them until 2am. Then when I ask for a refund I am told by
the place that I booked the room through which by the way suck. That I needed to wait until the next morning before I can check out because they need the supervisors permission for me to get my money back and if I leave before then that I will not get my money back. I then get curious and lift the sheets off the mattress to find what looks like feces stains from what id like to think a dog. Then immediately I check into another hotel down the road for a better price and an actual room where they treat their guests like people and not animals and for the same price I was paying here. I wait til that morning and checkout like getaroom had told me to do. Then the guy on the phone tells me that they spoke to the supervisor and because I technically spent a night at the hotel I am not entitled to a refund. I paid 235 dollars for 3 days. These guys are thieves and should be shut down. I should have read the reviews before going to this dump but it was my error. I have already reported these guys to Motel 6 Corporate as well as am in the process of reporting them to the health department.

BEWARE OF THIS HOTEL! If you have lung problems or asthma you need to be extremely cautious! This place is a total dump. Water damage everywhere and water dripping into the ceiling esp. in the bathroom which caused a massive mildew and musty odor. Have been congested and sick for 2 days now ever since I woke up there. Also, the sheets were not clean and smelled, only one light worked, no phone, no clock, half the furniture like the chairs were missing, huge hole in the wall behind the bed the size of someone’s head, u name it! Told them I wanted a refund and they said «oh well». Last time I stay at a Motel 6! They are lucky I do not sue them and press charges!

One star only because ZERO stars is not an option. I have stayed in different Motel 6s while driving across the country. This is by far the worst. They had to change my room 4 times to find a room that was clean, had towels, the tv and wifi worked. There was a couple at the desk who had checked in before me that were teying to get a refund. The room I got was not ckeam and smelled stale. On the positive side the room was large and the front desk person was accommodating within the boundaries of what she could do.

Gross!!! We got a room with 2 beds… it was like a choose your own adventure game. Bed 1 contained period blood stained sheets and we managed to find a blunt roach in bed 2 as well as various other crumbs of who knows what.
As if that wasn’t enough to make this stay horrible… in the morning I was so pumped to take a shower after sleeping in that pool of unwashed bedding. There were countless cigarette burns all over the tub but I figured I’d chance it. Then I saw this little blue blob of soap on the curtain with human hair stuck to it.
Don’t stay here unless it’s your one and only option.

This place is a dump. The wifi doesn’t work, even with password. The rooms are huge — but it’s all just wasted space. The place has never been updated our renovated. The carpets are at least 50 years old and … moist. Peeling paint, broken doors, crazy old furniture.
Toilet ran all night but did not flush when called upon to do so. I only had one light bulb in the entire place, literally did not have light bulbs in the rest of the fixtures. Even the ice maker did not work, but standing in there with the spiders and cockroaches was too freaky anyway.
I feel sorry for the people that work there, it does seem that they do try. For what it was, it was relatively clean — not clean enough for me to risk taking a shower, but not outright filthy. When I told them about the leaky toilet and light bulbs they were there immediately, except for the tiny detail of me trying to check out of the room while two big guys were coming in, it was nice to see the hustle.

Only if you have no other choice in the world!!! I only stopped because I sat in construction traffic for 2 hours at 2am and when I finally got rolling saw another sign for construction.
First, the sign says 39.95 which the lady says they don’t have that rate anymore. The company just hasn’t purchased new signs. WTH??? Then she is staring in my car like I’m lying about traveling alone. I get the AAA rate of 44.95. She copies my license (they still do that?). The whole transaction is conducted through a small window because you can’t get into the lobby.
The towels were so crunchy, I just skipped a bath and went with wet wipes (Gross). I am hoping they were crunchy because they were hung up damp.
The toilet needed a good cleaning (around where those plugs are) — yuck build up.
The comforter was yuck and I was scared to take my shoes off. The thin blanket on top of the see through sheets had been attacked by moth or something.
You will never ever get me to stay in a motel again!!!

Don’t stay Here!!! It’s super dirty and has bugs! When I showed the front desk the pics I took with my phone she just shrugged her shoulders…

The hotel has nice large rooms with king size beds. The other (longterm) guests are cool, and the area feels very safe. One side of the hotel is reserved for dogs. The only downfall is the annoying staff who call regularly to ensure that you get out of there before 11am. Without Kristen at the front desk pushing us out of there, for the value, this place would be a four or a five star hotel.

So, this is one of the hotels recommended on the Kings Dominion web site. However, it’s no longer called Motel 6, instead they’ve renamed it «Capital Hotel» (they only way we knew it used to be Motel 6 was, because the telephone still had the Motel 6 sticker). Dreadful, dreadful, dreadful. The hotel website actually looks pretty nice and you think you’ll get a fairly nice room for a decent price. We reserved online and when we got there a few days later, the receptionist couldn’t find our reservation. We stood in front of a locked lobby door in front of a little window (guess they’re afraid to let people in after 9pm) for about 20 minutes while she was calling her manager to figure out what to do — instead of just giving us one of the multiple empty rooms they had. She finally gave us a non-​smoking room, which smelled of smoke and which should have been condemmed 5 years ago. The sink leaked into the carpet when you turned the faucet on, which added a «nice» mustiness to the old cigarette smell. Forget coffee makers or hair dryers! Next time we’ll dish out $ 20 more and get something decent. Kings Dominion should really think twice what they recommend on their site.

The room was very decent for the price. Spaceous and quiet. However, there was a shortage of working electrical outlets in my room and NO internet, as in no WiFi or wired which is absolutely ridiculous in the year 2010. Poor cell phone coverage and you pretty much have a solid room if you like the dark ages.

Bed Bug Motel. Need I say more? There was a bed bug… in the bed… decide for yourself.
