Motel 6 Sandston, VA - Richmond, Va
The room I booked was very different than the one we got. There's a ton of more about quiet time, yet all night long people and children were yelling. If you can't sleep through planes flying right over you this isn't your place. Very disappointed, would not stay here again.
