Now I know where all the crack heads sleep at . Stay away from this place unsafe and nasty. Weed smell everywhere and police always around scooping up dealers and tweakers. Blankets are thin and have cig holes in them and furniture following apart. STAYAWAY.

UPDATE #2, 12/18/23:“Angela Sullivan,” if you are who you say you are, then you’ve been identified. You were the woman who passed by me and the police in the hallway and went into the next room. You must know who the suspects are because the police do not have any information about the identity of the suspects, nor did you speak to me about any man, which would have been helpful for this case. You saw I was completely alone at this motel, who is this “boyfriend” you claim did this? Because I would like to know who this person is so there can be a proper investigation with witnesses and the authorities. Legal action will be taken moving forward.UPDATE 12/17/23:To the reviewer saying the break-in/attempted attack was my “boyfriend,” how dare you. I am assuming you work for this motel or are the manager because who would write such a statement. I was a victim of a crime at this motel. I did not even disclose if this was a man or a woman, do you know why? Because I have no idea who did this! Shame on you for making assumptions. THIS IS A SHADY AREA AND APPARENTLY SO ARE THE PEOPLE WHO STAY AT THIS MOTEL AND WORK THERE. I am considering suing now. Lying to the police? You will be hearing from my lawyer.ORIGINAL REVIEW 12/12/2023:IF YOU VALUE YOUR LIFE, STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE! This is the scariest, most traumatizing experience I have ever had in my life. I could have been KILLED. In the middle of the night, someone launched a chair through the closed, glass window of the room I was staying in. I CANNOT MAKE THIS UP. The chair almost hit me, along with the shattered glass - THANK GOD I WAS NOT NEAR THE WINDOW. At that moment, I truly thought I was about to get killed, robbed, or God knows what. I ran out of the room as soon as I saw that chair flying in. I couldn't grab my phone or anything, I ran to the front desk asking for help and told the worker that a literal chair was thrown into my room, the worker just said, "call the police" in the most careless, unbothered tone and attitude. I was in a state of shock so I didn't even comment on that, I told him to make the call because I had NOTHING on me. He finally made the call, and the whole time I was fearing for my life thinking whoever broke in/threw that chair went into the room and was now in the building somewhere. Everyone, including the cops that eventually came, did not seem fazed at all, and left me, the victim, alone several times. I am educated, have a decent job, have family, NEVER done drugs and I don't drink, I have a feeling the cops and workers thought I was some bum or hoodlum simply because I was staying at this location, when in reality I just needed a cheap place to stay for the night while my home was being painted. They treated me like I was nobody, and could not have cared less about making me feel safe or calm.The manager who came out later simply just offered me another room to stay for the night. Are you kidding me? Why on earth would I stay here after what happened? I am not trying to get murdered. I told him I was leaving the premises. He never offered a refund or any other solution. The cops just gave me a card with a number to call for any updates. Nothing else, no information about what they're going to do or about looking for the suspects. Just, "here's a card with contact info, bye."I am still in a state of shock. This experience has traumatized me and I don't think I will ever stay at a motel or an Econo Lodge ever again. Before this all happened, the room itself was disgusting, there was a battery in the toilet and some bodily liquid on the toilet seat. The shower was FILTHY, black stains all over. The bed sheets had stains and hair on them. The room felt stuffy and humid. Everything was so disgusting.Stay away, it's not worth it. I would have rather parked in a nice neighbourhood and slept in my car if I was desperate. I came in looking for a place to sleep for the night, and left traumatized and belittled. Never again.Safety: UNSAFE, break-ins, thrown objects into windows, indifferent

If you are trying to find a good place to stay outside of the Marine base Quantico take it from me a USAF Veteran and Diamond level Choice Privileges member that the Econolodge in Dumfries is a great place to stay. Year to date I have stayed here over 90 days and have not encountered any problems so far. First and formost to mention is the properties close proximity to the major interstate of Route 95 making it easy and convienent if you are traveling up and down the East coast for work or vacation to hop on or off the interstate leaving you minutes from multiple destinations including all the monuments and tourist attractions of Washington DC. In walking distance from the front door of the Lodge you have multiple different dine in options such as Cracker Barrel, Ihop, Chick-Fil-A, Waffel House, and our local favorite Montclair Family resturant so you dont have to get up and drive just to get a meal. If you're interested the Potomac Mills mall is just 5 minutes drive away giving you the ease of access to many outlet and designer stores making this the perfect location. The new hotel management has gone over and above in their efforts to create a quiet and comfortable environment for their valued guests. When I first came back to check in the Owners recognized my face and remembered my name. They where happy to welcome me back and tell me all about the recent remodel the hotel underwent to update the floors, furniature, and fresh coat of paint which made a remarkable difference in the apperance of the rooms. Upon entering my suite I could imediatly smell the fresh lemon scent from when the room was recently cleaned and prepared for my arrival, showing that the staff and management truly care about apperences and are actively taking extra steps to improve every guests stay! So if you are actove duty on TDY, a Military Veteran on leisure, or someone like me looking to stay long term in my experiance Econolodge and Choice hotels rewards program is the way to go. So far just through regular check-ins and extended stays I have already accrued nearly 15 free nights and over 100,000 points making their rewards program unbeatable when compaired to other popular hotels. Thank you Econoldge near Quantico for all your kindness and hospitality during my lengthy stay, I look forward to many more nights of peace and tranquility at your wonderful property. Oh and dont forget to check out the complimenty breakfast nook right off the lobby at the front of the hotel for extra special breakfast goodies everymorning. Plus you will be pleasently surprised when you return from a hard days work or travel to find that the expert staff of maids has cleaned your room or suite top to bottom putting a big smile on your face everytime.Rooms: Spacious and more room than you would ever need. I was able to store a full sized bycicle inside my room on the other side of the bed and still had plenty of space to move around.Safety: The hotel owners have taken extra steps to ensure the saftey of their guests at all times. To include working with the local police department to stop and prevent people who are not registered guests from loitering on the property at any time. and also locking down all the entrances at night so you have to key card in to prevent random soliciters from gaining entry onto the premiss.Walkability: I dont drive so walkability is very important to me. I would score this property a 7.5 out of 10. There is a 7-11 super close which is convienent to get things like bread, milk, and butter.Noteworthy details: The Wi-Fi signal is strong. I run a 4k amazon tv for streaming movies and netflix in my room without ever having connection issues. I also use my phone on the Wi-Fi to call into business meetings via zoom and VA secure connect so i know the network is safe to use for teleworking.

THIS PLACE IS DISGUSTING!! COCKROACHES, DIRTY ROOMS AND HALLWAYS!If you care about your health don't book at this place!! I booked for 3 nights and left 10 minutes after I stepped on the room!!! The room smelled horrible and when I went to the bathroom not one but two cockroaches came out of the toilet! When we left, the guy said he was going to refund the money but since we booked through a third party, when they called him he said we stood at the hotel for the 3 nights, so they didn't give me my money back!! Do yourself a favor and never book at this hotel!

After spending 6 hours stuck on 95 another hotel booked this room for me. I arrived and there was no power, which was consistent for this area due to a winter storm. I was freezing and tired. The gentlemen at the desk still gave me a room for the night which was better then sleeping in my car and risk running out of fuel. He showed this same kindness to several other travelers that had been stuck on the highway for hours. Sir, thank you for you empathy and compassion!!

Booked in advance for a conference, and ended up having to change hotels all together after there were roaches in both rooms they gave me. I was expecting dingy, given the price but any kind of bug or pest is absolutely unacceptable.

After checking in, 5 police cars arrived to deal with an assault incident in one of the rooms. I stayed 3 nights, was woken in the middle of the night by noisy neighbors 2 nights in a row. I had to move rooms twice due to faulty room door lock and water leaking from bathroom ceiling. On 4th day I received a call from front desk saying I had not paid and my things were going to be removed to the front desk. I explained I needed to stay one more night but was hung up on twice. I drove 30 minutes to collect my things then called Choice Rewards to give my feedback and find a hotel for 1 more night. That 90 minute call resulted in me being told I needed to pay $30 more than the original reservation for a nearby Choice property. I subsequently cancelled my next 7 weeks plans to stay with Choice... NO MORE CHOICE FOR ME!

The carpet in the room was dirty. The chairs fill with mold, inside the drawers fill with mold, the tolit seat is broken, the door to the bathroom cannot closed and the painting on the wall is peeling off. For yhe price this is unacceptable.
