Virginia Lodge Motel - Featured Reviews (243)
If you like being able to smoke in the room this is permitted, however you will have to deal with the roaches if you decide to turn the lights off. Wouldn't say I'd come back unless it was a must. 3 out of 5
A little bit seedy,but reasonably priced,the employees were very good,nice n helpful. The room obviously was just renovated and I think the owners are trying to fix the place up. My stay was good.
We went with friends to Washington for cherry blossoms in the period 03.24-26.2023 (we booked two rooms). We stayed in this "hotel" The Virginia Lodge. In the evening I got ready to go to bed and removed the bedspread I found crumpled bed linen. But after I saw the someone's hair and crumbs of dirt on the supposedly fresh clean bed linen, I slept dressed. No one changed this bed linen, it was just refilled. Otherwise, how to explain such an amount of hair on a supposedly clean, fresh bed linen? The bed linen is full of cigarette holes, although it says that the rooms are non-smoking. But there was a smell of cigarettes in the rooms, they smelled of all things. Keep this in mind if it's important to you. There are dried insects on the windows. I attached a photos.
Front desk guy was rude to my bf and cussing at him because he overpaid for the same night we had already paid for on accident and he would not give us a refund and told him that he would kick me (his 8 month pregnant gf) out on the street that he did not care at all and he also told him that it was not his problem nor his responsibility to do a refund we called the website we paid on and they told the guy that it in fact was his responsibility but the guy refused to help us get everything fixed and continued to cuss my bf out the whole time he tried to get his refund for that night. The women at the front desk and the manager was very kind the next day and not rude at all but the guy needs to be fired for cussing at customers and not being willing to help when it was his responsibility to do so. Hopefully this guy can learn to treat people properly or gets fired for the way he treated us, this kind of customer service is horrible especially dealing with it while 8 months pregnant other than that the stay was nice and clean and as long as we didn’t have to deal with that rude guy on night shift we would stay here again
As someone that travels with my work. I'm in hotels most nights of the year. This is not a new hotel but rooms are big and quiet. Very clean. Furnishings are older but bed was comfy. Late night desk clerk was very pleasant. Went back to pay for second night and lady was nice also. And NO BUGS unlike other reviews on other hotels. Will stay here again if I ever venture this far out of Texas again.
I don't understand what people Expect a "Motel" to look like. Motels are designed to be low budget but sufficient for those in need. Nonetheless, I always enjoy my stay here. The rooms are not dirty. I never have any issues with my stay. The cleaning lady is very nice and always comes around with nice warm towels to replace the ones you've already used. The front desk staff are always friendly. I enjoy my small getaways. The location could be a little better for those who travel via public transportation.
If you’re looking for a place to stay that has the bare minimum, you found it. Bed, tv, fridge, microwave, bathroom. That’s about it. The room wreaked of smoke, deposited being a non smoking room. There’s evidence of shoddy handy work all around: outlets not screwed in, half hearted paint jobs, and holes in the wall where door handles hit. Positives? Convenience to DC sights. And the bathroom wasn’t terrible. Shower was nice, once the water warmed up. Honestly, it’s a place to put your stuff while you sightsee and eventually sleep, not a place to relax though.
pacious room, ok bed, heat works, plenty of hot/cold water in sink and shower, felt safe, Indian restaurant on property (leased to someone else). Even though the hotel looked busy, I did not hear any loud disturbances. The room was dirty and outdated. The linen and bedspread were of very bad quality and worn out. All surface areas needed cleaning and clearly were not cleaned after the last person used the room or for a very long time. The phone had baked on grime/dirt from years of not being cleaned. Towels were not stocked (missing a towel), some shampoo, but barely enough for one person. The WIFI was limited and regularly dropped my connection and had a very weak signal – it did not work at first, but the front desk clerk fixed it and tried to act like it was working all along. Don’t get me wrong, I will never stay here again, but if you are driving and can bring your own linen, cleaning supplies, and vacuum you can save a lot of money visiting the area (I forgot to mention the big stink bug that landed on my pillow while I was reading). There is a bus stop right next to the hotel, so getting to the metro rail is convenient to get to downtown DC. The hotel is just over a mile to 495 Beltway.
When the Civil War started and the Union took Alexandria many escaped slaves, called Contraband, poured into the city to escape their former masters. This overcrowding caused a high mortality rate. The soldiers seized a undeveloped plot of land and
