Motel 6 Kingsport, TN — Hotel in Kingsport

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...

I would only use this second rate hotel as the last resort, as in my case. The first thing that happen was that the night clerk quoted me a price over the phone and when I went to sign in he tried to up the price. The second incident was when I went back to the office to get more towels because there were only two towels in the room even though it was a double bed room, I found the doors were locked and even though I rang the bell for a least fifteen minutes and was calling the office on my cell phone at the same time nobody came to the door. Found out later the night clerk had a habit of going to the backroom and sleeping. I eventually had to go to the nearby Walmart and buy some towels. After getting into the room, we discovered that the security lock was broken, the wallpaper was coming off the walls, there was mold on the shower curtain, curtain rod was hanging by a thread and the ironing board had brown spots all over it. My wife felt so uneasy about getting under the covers that she slept in it with her clothes on. The funny thing about the whole experience was that they wanted to charge me $200 on Friday because it was the NASCAR weekend in Bristol. Needless to say I checked out the next day and found us a nicer hotel...

Property IS older, however it has been updated. Our rooms (multiple stays) always had:||•USB charging ports in every outlet except the bathroom||• A major brand name TV with plenty of choices||• A modern, efficient, quiet AC/heat unit||• Clean comfortable beds with plenty of pillows||• More than enough bath linens that were soft and clean||• Clean and modern refrigerator and microwave.||• Accessible shower/tub/toilet as listed.||• Good water temperature and pressure.||||All of the staff are friendly without being overbearing. Rebecca went above and beyond to make sure we had accessible parking with our late arrival, and was some super kind and helpful!||||The overnight clerk was also very helpful (I cannot recall her name).||||There was an issue with the handicap shower chair on the first day, I mentioned it to Ronda (I think), when we returned,it had been replaced with a brand new one!||||I witnessed an exchange between Ronda and a member of management that concerned an issue of some sort that management was unhappy about... The exchange was professional, quiet and respectful!||||In short, if every Motel 6 was operated as this one is, they would soon become a national force to be reckoned with.||||Rick n Deb Henry||Special...
