Let me start with saying I NEVER leave reviews.. but this one deserves one. So it may be long, but worth it.
I am so impressed with this motel 6, I know it has a bad rap as a budget hole in the wall, but this was honestly amazing!
Guy at the desk was so pleasant and even let us know that the Italian restaurant next door (Crazy Tomato) gives guest a 10% discount! Awesome!
*side note- there is no breakfast here at the motel, but there is coffee and vending machines.*
The rooms are updated with modern style. The sheets are SOFT! Like I feel the need to replace my own linens at home after sleeping in these super soft ones!
The room has multiple lights! Not crappy dim lamps either! There’s lighting individually switched over each bed, a room light, a desk light, light over the mini fridge, LED lights over the sink area and also a separate light in the toilet/tub area. Plenty of light!
The outlets are all double faced AND 2 USB slots are also on each switch!
The second story double bed room I have comes with a mini fridge and a microwave, the thermostat is in-room controlled and there is a flat screen tv hung on the wall above the small semi circle table that has two chairs
Overall I am extremely pleased with the cleanliness of the lobby and room/bathroom, aside from the lack of breakfast the amenities are great-including free WiFi.
I would absolutely stay here again!
Many restaurants and stores within walking distance, conveniently located right off exit 59 on I-81 and not so busy of an area that entering and leaving is stressful.
The only complaint I have is the smoking area is right outside our room, so with the air conditioner going, it sucks the smoke smell into the room. We have a handicap son, that doesn't need that, neither do I. Other than that, everything and everyone has been great.
Clean rooms and comfy beds for a good price. Glad there is no smelly carpet in the roomsthank you!
Motel 6 in Kingsport was surprising in all the right ways modern, clean, well designed, and very comfortable! I honestly haven't stayed in a nicer 6 with my wife and dogs than this one.
As far as Motel 6 goes, this is one of the best. NFL Sunday ticket and anything you want, if they can, they will. Nice clean big room. Everyone has been so nice. And I understand the policy of not renting to locals because it's not for parties. I really appreciate that coming from LA. I get to sleep.
I guess since it was Motel 6 I should not expect much. They pretty much just " leave the light on" for you. No little samples of shampoo, no coffee pot or any extras. It used to be a Holiday Inn Express and it was great. I should learn not to expect much from Motel 6. I will say shower was good but they probably still had Holiday Inn Express shower heads.
I had to make a quick pit stop for the night on my way back from a long drive from Texas back to Maryland.
I decided to try this Motel 6 and I based my decision off of reviews from other guests who has recently stayed here. The price was right.
The hotel room was clean, I'm assuming recently renovated and painted. Loved that it was more modern with platform beds, hardwood floors and a big 42" TV on the wall! The pillows were quite comfy and it was nice that it had both a microwave and nice mini fridge. We were able to keep our pizza in there overnight. No wasted food. WOOT!!
Go MOTEL 6.
It was also easy to locate off of the highway. Just a half mile off of the exit. Very convenient.
I will certainly return on my next ROAD TRIP back from TEXAS.
Thanks again! :)
In room 112, the headboard was not secured to the wall properly. I noticed this because it was being supported by the plug from the lamp that was not functioning properly. The plug was partially dislodged. I put the headboard back on the piece of wood that was secured to the wall, then pushed the mattress up against the headboard to hold it in place. Also, when I tried to iron a shirt, the iron did not seem to heat up properly. The ironing board was pretty flimsy & was lacking a pad under the cover.
Both rooms were musky as if there were a mildew problem. My sinuses got stuffed up immediately.
The other time I stayed at this motel in room, 112, the lamp with two bulbs was not working properly. Only one light would come on of the two.
I have stayed here before and once again have no complaint. Love that you get microwave and refrigerator in room, comfy bed and it is quiet. Did NOT see any of the questionable activity that is sometimes obvious at lower price hotels. Very friendly staff and really good Mexican restaurant 2 doors down
The room was exactly what I wanted. Not fancy but clean and had everything I needed to stay for a night. IN fact the bed looked a lot better than in the pictures on the web. You should consider updating those pictures.
The complimentary coffee was also wonderful.
Thanks
