We loved this hotel…read more We have traveled all up and down the east coast since the pandemic, and have come to accept mediocre service due to poor staffing, so it was a thrill to go to a hotel that not only had adequate but excellent service. Everyone here from the check in counter, the housekeeping and the breakfast service was polite, friendly and just plain nice. The hotel itself seems quite new. The room was very clean, and the hotel itself was very quiet. Rooms seemed quite soundproof, though it was not full when we were there. Breakfast was good with lots of hot options (eggs, meat, and baked cinnamon rolls) and the pancake maker on demand a highlight. Every time we have strayed from Marriott I have regretted it. Not this time. We would absolutely stay here again.

They claimed that "our room was dirty" and refunded us for 5 days that we had already paid for. When I went into the office to discuss the issue,the lady used foul language and threatened that she could "kick us out today" at 5 in the evening. The dog always used the bathroom outside,and when told to quiet down once,we did. The biggest issue was fluff on the floor from our dogs chew toys. We chose this motel because it was family owned,but we were not treated like family. I would not recommend this motel if you have an option to go somewhere else.

Terrible Place to stay for a single woman. Checked in late afternoon with no luggage as there was…read morean emergency at home. I was treated as suspicious and put through some very strange questions and a weird overview of the hotel. Shown to a substandard room with a broken door with no apologies. Asked the next morning to stay a couple days more and again treated as suspect. I guess they thought since I was a single woman that had no luggage I couldn't afford the room. Money was no problem. The bed was comfortable but the room was nothing to write home about. Could barely get the door opened and felt uncomfortable asking the front desk for anything. This hotel caters to military clients. If I ever have another emergency I will stay at the Holiday Inn across the parking lot.

ROACH INFESTATION & UNPROFESSIONAL SERVICE*…read more I'm still fuming after my recent stay at Red Roof Inn Dahlgren! The room was infested with ROACHES. I'm not talking about one or two - I'm talking about multiple roaches scurrying around the bathroom. I recorded a video as evidence and showed it to the front desk clerk, who assured me they'd refund my money. That was FIVE DAYS ago. Despite multiple phone calls, I've been completely ignored. No response, no refund, no apology. Unbelievable. If you value your sanity and a clean place to rest, AVOID THIS HOTEL. The lack of accountability and customer service is appalling. *UPDATE:* If you're from the hotel management, please get your act together and refund my money. I've done my part to warn others.

The hotel is convenient to Dahlgren base as well as shopping and restaurants. However, they are…read moreundergoing a "complete renovation" Also, however, that doesn't excuse the condition of the room I was given (for 9 nights). If it would have been a one night stay I could have overlooked most of the issues, but it wasn't, so I didn't. Initial: room reeked of mildew. I combatted this by using housekeeping's odor eliminator spray (I used a lot) and kept the a/c fan on the entire time I was in the room and that seemed to at least keep the smell knocked down. The bathroom was basically a disaster. The toilet was unacceptable: small, cracks and marks on the seat, way low to the ground. Grouting/sealing at the base was discolored and peeling away. Shower head was unacceptable. Non-maneuverable, poor water dispersion, poor water pressure. No stopper/plug in the bathroom sink. Window was unacceptable. Almost like it was stained or something. There were what appeared to be nicotine stains (drips) on the wall across from the bathroom. Carpet had spots/stains. Door was drafty. The smoke detector was literally hanging by wires from the ceiling. Service was hit or miss. I was told upon check-in that my room would only be serviced every 3 days. Which I thought was odd, but whatever. Third day rolls around (Saturday) I had the "do not disturb" sign out (I forgot); housekeeping didn't knock, didn't ask, just slid a note under the door saying (in essence) since I had the do not disturb sign on the door, they "didn't disturb" So it was 5 days until I got fresh towels. It took a day or more extra until my trash was taken out and the bed was made for the first time. I voiced all my complaints (about the condition) to the hotel the day after I checked in when they texted me and asked me about my stay. Hotel said they would follow up with me, that never happened. Contacted Choice Hotels corporate and told them everything (and sent photos) and that seems also be a dead-end. All in all this was a most unpleasant and unacceptable experience. I would not recommend this hotel, I would not recommend the Choice brand (which encompasses a lot of different hotel brands) and I definitely would not repeat.

Pubic hair on the back of toilet seat. Mold in fridge. Carpet in main hallway has holes, large worn spots, paint dripping all over it. Locks on external doors completely broken for most of them. Door to room doesnt shut, and has to be lifted and pushed hard to get it to close. Outdated appliances. Vending machines are completely broken. Not bad for a quick night or 2 stay, wouldn't recommend for a longer stay.

Stayed here for several nights and it was nice. There were lots of cable channels, internet worked…read morewell for the most part, heat was great, a nice size mini fridge that could easily fit 4 gallons of milk in it plus food! Lol The room was clean also. That said, I do have a few complaints. First of all, there's no elevator so carrying all your stuff up the stairs is the only way to go. They don't inform you of this either so if you have trouble walking up stairs, make sure you let them know that during your reservation and before you pay for a room. They even have cart dollies for your luggage but you can only use it if you're on the first floor. The set up is pretty ridiculous honestly. Second issue is once you get upstairs, the hallway smells like expired milk or ammonia depending on the time of day. Thankfully, the rooms don't smell like this but the hallway sure did and that was enough. ‍ The hot water also isn't very hot. In fact, I'd say that it was closer to warm then hot. The water in the sink however is an entirely different story. Now that water got hot! And stayed hot! As in burn your hands and steam up the bathroom hot. Same couldn't be said for the shower. So that was kind of an issue. Like it wasn't cold but it was just warm. It just never got hot. So when you take a shower, be sure you close the bathroom door to keep the warmth in. It helps. The only other real issue is the noise level. None of the rooms are sound proof or privacy kept either. You can hear everything from the hallway in your room and everything from your room, in the hallway. It's a little creepy because I don't wanna hear everyone else nor do I want everyone else hearing me. So it was rather privacy invading and that I did not like. My biggest complaint though was the fact that on check out day, the cleaning people literally unlocked our room and busted in at 10:30am. Checkout wasn't till 11am and we had no intentions of even checking out. They then came back at 10:55 and tried the same stunt. We also had people calling and knocking on the door CONSISTENTLY when they already knew there was an issue with our card - which they said was fine and they'd work with us on the issue. But they still knocked and called our room 52 times besides just busting into our room several times from 10:30am onward until it was paid. Completely ridiculous when one, we weren't checked out, two, we weren't planning on checking out, and three, they already knew what was going on! ‍ Over all though, the place is nice and I'd gladly stay here again. The staff isn't pleasant but whatever. We just avoided dealing with them. It's in a nice location and for the price and quality of the room, it was more then worth it!
