Three of us stayed there in May 2013. We were looking for a reasonably priced placed to stay in a good location. The location was FANTASTIC!! The other hotels were triple the cost!! So that did play a role in why I picked a motel. The bathrooms were clean!! The bedding left a lot to be desired. If the bedding... More

Stayed here for a week as a base to travel into DC. Was only a 10min walk to Metro which suited us. Staff were very friendy and helpful. Rooms were a reasonable size and clean and comfortable. Exactly what we wanted from a hotel room in my proice range.

Don't let the outside fool you. This is a VERY nice motel. Hotel room was spotless and updated. Appeared to be granite shower. Very friendly staff. Quick 10 minute walk to the metro or 10 minute drive into DC. Kid safe area. Definitely recommend!

Stayed here overnight on strength of Trip Advisor reviews, and my need to make a quick exit to get to DCA early in the morning. (less than 10 easy minutes drive away, up the GW Parkway.) The exterior looked a little shabby like other reviews said, but it looked like they were in the process of prepping for a re-paint.... More

This motel is very modest looking, and could do with some curb appeal sprucing up. However, the rooms are spacious and comfortable. The rooms and baths are very clean, and the location is excellent, and the price is right. A nice, cinvenient, and resonable place to stay.

My husband and I rented a room here based on the mostly good TA reviews, location near Old Town Alexandria, and the cheap price. We don't like to spend a lot of money on hotels/motels, we only ask for a clean, reasonably comfortable room in a good location (walking distance to our points of interest). We really liked it.

We stayed at this establishment, recently, while visiting family in Alexandria. My wife nearly fainted as we pulled into the parking lot. I believe that her exact words were..."Are you sure this isn't a by-the-hour motel?" At first glance, this motel leaves a lot to be desired, literally. It's a courtyard motel and gives the appearance of being run-down. Check-in... More

My husband and I were traveling to DC and wanted to find a hotel that wouldn't break the bank since we'd basically only be using it to sleep. We looked over the reviews and decided that the Towne Motel was the cheapest with acceptable reviews. We mainly chose it because of its location to the metro, standard refrigerator in the... More

This is a good place to stay, based on what it is, i.e. a 2-story courtyard motel and one of the less expensive places in the Washington area. The room was clean and in good condition; the bathroom seems to have been recently renovated. Don't expect luxury touches that you might find in an expensive hotel. There was no radio... More

This is an old (about 1950) motel with no frills, but clean rooms with about the lowest rates you will find in Old Town Alexandria. If you are looking for a convenient location for a good price, this will meet your needs.The do provide wifi and soap, but not much else. We stayed two seperate nights, one upon arriving, and...
