Broken down vehicles in the parking lot. A pill was laying on the duvet when we first entered the room after check in. The clerk who checked us in put us in a non smoking room, when we reserved a smoking room, then attempted to admonish us for smoking in the room. Overall, it was a terrible experience and will prevent us from staying with Motel 6 again.

On the plus side, this property was convenient for my needs. After that, not a lot of positives. Possibly the most uncomfortable bed I've ever attempted to sleep on. Never got comfortable. Very thin pillows, towels you could see through, and no local channels available on the television. I'll pay a little more for something much better next time.

The guy running the place was pretty chill. I booked a no smoking room, but the people living beside me would smoke outside right next to my room. Had to keep a FeBreeze plug-in and spray handy.

Also make sure to bring drain unclogger to poor down the drain of the shower. You do not want to get to your room and the drain is clogged right when you're about to take a shower. It's the most annoying thing ever.

If you have no choice but to stay here for a day or a few days, just remember that the staff will not always immediately respond to requests when it comes to problems with your room. It's best to be prepared and to fix these problems yourself.

When we got to the non smoking room it smelled of nothing but cigarette smoke. Checked the sheets and bed linens there was blood on those…told the front desk, they moved us. The new room they put us in had blood on the shower curtain and the room was just icky. Definitely will spend the extra $30 and stay somewhere else.

First, what part of a NON-Smoking room reservation did they not understand? Room was heavily smoked in, had to have the door wide open for hours just to stand to be in there! Was the worst place I have stayed in over 50 years of traveling in Mexico, the US of A and Canada! Drawers had the fronts busted off and unusable, filthy, roaches, etc. Stay far.......far.... away!!!!

The staff was super friendly and sweet. Literally the only good thing about this property. Seemed there are quite a few long term people here. The area around the property is dirty and trashy and there were multiple vehicles broken and trailers everywhere some with damage you can tell someone was trying to steal stuff. The parking lot in the back does not have enough room to accommodate all the guests in the back side which we didn’t want to leave our car were we couldn’t see. Which was frustrating. The room itself: the floors were extremely sticky gross, I wore my shoes the whole time. The bed sheets either weren’t changed or just so badly stained they need replaced. The shower was dirty upon arrival and the bathroom counter looked as it had not been cleaned either not sure if it was blood on the counter or makeup. Either way this was my first time staying at a motel 6 that fit most people’s perception of them. Definitely the worst I’ve stayed at and would not recommend. Even for the price. I’d pay more for a clean room alone.

Although the room was very clean, convenient to both downtown Knoxville and pigeon forge and well priced the beds were very uncomfortable and there was a sheet of metal under them that would clang and bang with the slightest movement. Being a light sleeper it woke me up every time I shifted position. Absolutely nothing such as even the tiniest bottle of shampoo or lotion was offered. There were only two towels, a hand towel and a single wash cloth in the room. And worst of all the room lighting was obnoxious! There were wall mounted long light bars over each bed and one on the opposite side of the room that could be switched on by the door. They were super bright and to me seemed better suited for a industrial kind of space. If you chanced to work on all three we're talking surface of the sun bright! Staff spoke only when spoken to, just not welcoming at all. If in the area again I'd definitely spend more for a nicer motel.

It was weird getting to the property there was a concrete median type thing separating the property from the gas station property I guess.

The new owners are trying hard to improve the site, but it's not there yet. I think also that people who stay there don't treat it very well, which makes it much much harder on the management. The staff was friendly and when I asked for new bedding they did their best to accommodate. I am empathetic with the staff who probably have to deal with very messy visitors and it's not easy as an affordable place to stay to get the best help.

The bathroom was in need of maintenance the shower head was leaking profusely which made low pressure for washing, I did inform them and they were to send someone to fix the issue, nope didn't get done, at least the bed was comfortable,as for the rest of the stay just about average,

We appreciate a low cost option on our road trips. Especially with a pup! The room was pretty clean and basic, exactly what I expect at a Motel 6. The staff was rally friendly! I wish other customers with their pups were more responsible because they ruined the opportunity for the rest of us to travel with our dogs because they’re not responsible for their own cleanup.

Considering the price, I actually expected it to be worse than it was but I hope the price doesn’t change or go up by too much cause I’m definitely recommending this place and I will visit over and over again overall I actually had a great experience there and I was happy with my room. The only problem I had was a little bit minor and it’s the fact that I ordered a room with a single king size bed and I ended up getting a room with two queens. Next time I hope to get exactly what I ordered.
