Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“I live in Glen Burnie, MD but drive an hour to work. I work 12 hour shifts so when I work I stay in a hotel in Frederick. I think I’ve tried every hotel in this area. Out of all of them motel 6 is the best! Why? Customer service! They truly care. Daniel that works the front desk truly cares. He goes out of your way to make sure you have what you need and have the best stay possible.”
“I've been staying here for months for work. The staff is awesome. They are always accommodating. The cleaners and maintenance are amazing. There is laundry on the ground floor. Pets stay free, which is great. There are lots of restaurants and stores nearby. Out front, there is an amazing view of the Appalachian mountains. Great storm watching from the balcony. The grounds are well maintained. I recommend motel 6 to anyone in Frederick.”
“Great place to crash for the night while traveling. Pet friendly was great perk. Didn't use bath/shower looked surface cleaned but not clean clean. Cracked fiberglass lines were black. Toilet was clean as was sink and counter area. Room was also clean. King sized bed was very comfortable and very clean. Air-conditioned room was perfectly chilled.”
“I'm in my mid-50s and I have travelled often throughout my life I've been to motel 6 and other hotels all over the United States. As far as motel 6 goes this is by far one of the cleanest and most friendly staffed I have ever been to. The location is ideal for visitors to the area. I would say that the staff speak with an attitude of kindness not just nice but very kind. I believe there is a difference in the words. By far the best motel 6 I have ever been to.”
