The check in clerk couldn’t be heard because there wasn’t a hole in the glass to speak though. The room smelled so foul from the stale cigarette smoke. Roaches were crawling on the back of the door. I have never seen such a disgusting room! I immediately checked out and drove to another hotel.

Traveled with my fiancé,and 18 year old daughter. We went to see a show in downtown Knoxville a 3 hour drive from where we live. Booked this hotle last minute online,because we didn't want to drive back home so late. When we got there the staff didn't speak English so it was hard to communicate he also tried to charge me a extra 10 dollars cause my reservation had two people instead of 3 which I didn't think that would matter due to it being a double bed hotel room. He gave us a room that was completely disgusting! Burn holes all over the bed cover, floor was nasty,mirror was nasty just the whole thing was horrible, and I've stayed in some 1 star hotels before nothing ever this bad, I would have slept in my car before laying on those beds! Even sleeping in the car wasn't an option because there were definitely some shady people in and out of the other hotel rooms....we drove home that night!

We were very tired from driving for hours. When we arrived there were shady people around the property and thick smell of Marijuana.

When I made my reservation I asked for a non-smoking room. The decal on the door indicated no smoking. We walked in and it reeked of cigarette smoke. We had our sweet dog with us. She kept sniffing the air.There was stains on my bedspread with a cigarette hole.

Needed to go to the bathroom after a long last stretch to the motel. There wasn't enough toliet paper to wipe and no other roll to be found, so my husband got our kleenex from our car.

When we checked out I let the front desk lady know of our disappointment and she didnt care. We were thinking this probably wasn't the first time she heard it. Her Customer Service needs re-training. She acted liked she doesn't like her job.

We couldn't wait to leave this place. The place is a dump.

Floor was very dirty and had a large depressed area where vinyl was cracked with some missing. Shower had no place to put shampoo/shower gel bottles while in shower. Shower floor was slippery and the area around drain wasn’t finished well. Needs at least one grab bar in shower. One mattress was good but the other was way too soft.

Horrible experience

The place was maybe the dirtiest hotel I’ve ever been in. The shower had a couple of used bars of soap in it, in addition to a wrapped one. It smelled like mildew. The toilet had obviously not been cleaned. The room reeked like cigarette smoke, and we didn’t even feel safe there (there were tons of people outside smoking, and it just seemed like a really rough area. For the first time in my life, we ended up leaving and going somewhere else. It was seriously the dirtiest, worst hotel room I have ever seen.

Possibly the most uncomfortable bed I’ve ever slept on. Literal holes in the drywall, crumbling apart. Several big cigarette burn holes in all the sheets/blanket. The power outlet next to the window ac unit has clearly caught on fire before. It’s almost totally black. Found trash under the bed

Roaches and not clean. Did not feel safe at all!

The first issue was it wasn't cleaned. I had to call several times for dif issues. No pillow case. Hair in the tub and only noticed that because I saw a washrag on the shower sprayer and asked my brother who has down syndrome and that was with me if he used it. I didn't think so since he was fixing to take a shower and I was getting stuff ready for him but double checked and i looked down and black curly hair all in the tub. I cleaned the sink counter with wipes i keep because with a wipe of a wet cloth stuff came off. All other places were booked for Garth Brooks or I would of changed. I asked about a dif room after seeing tub (tey had warned me the 2nd flr rooms were better but I'm disabled and hard to go up and down steps) and they said just easier to clean tub. The guy just wiped it with towels. There might of been cleaner on it already. If I had an issue they cane right away thou and were very nice. The TV didn't work and the guy came again for that and fixed it. The room also had roaches which I have never in my almost 53 years had a motel that had roaches and I've pd a hell of a lot less then 168 for 2 nights. I will put up with a lot but not bugs!

You get what you pay for

I’ll give the staff credit, the check in lady asked me to check the room before we checked in because it would take two days to refund the money. Not a good sign. The room was inexpensive so we overlooked the horrible smoke smell even though it was a “smoke free” room. The lady said it was hard for them to enforce it. And we were ok with the old conditions. But the cigarette ashes on the night stand and the fact that the only way to change the channel on the tv was to manually change it from the direct tv box located behind the tv was a little much. The room served its purpose during a Football weekend and was inexpensive. You get what you pay for.

This hotel was so ghetto, I trusted that using Expedia meant that I could trust your listings.
I requested a non smoking room. The room I got smelled horribly of cigarettes. I went to the front desk and the guy at the front desk with rotted teeth came to the room and sprayed air freshner which worked for 5 minutes. My wife wanted a blanket as there was none in the room. I was given a blanket with cigarette burns in it. The latch on the front door was busted and there was mold and filth in the bathroom and more cigarette burns on the toilet seat in this \" nonsmoking room\". Hopefully I can post pictures here as I took several. Sorry Expedia, you've lost my business.

Extremely nasty room. Sticky floor. Dirty filters. Cigarette burns on bedding. Dirty bathroom. I felt absolutely disgusted and traveling from connecticut that condition would have the state health inspector shut down the place. I left after only one-two hours. I couldn’t believe it. I needed to rest after a 12 hour road trip from the heat and I was so disappointed.

Nasty

The women at the front desk was very nice but the motel itself was terrible. I walked up the steps to get to my room and dirty towels were at the top of the steps (they were still there the next day at 11am when I left). My sheets and covers were full of burn wholes, and I needed to wear sandals in the shower it was so nasty and the shower would back up with water. The room floor was very sticky, thank God I was only in need of the room for that night and really didn't spend that much time in it due to my plans as to the reason why I was in town, because I would have not been able to handle another night in that room, i would not recommend this motel even at the cheap rate you can at least clean up the room, basic housekeeping

The walkways and parking lot were pretty dirty and with small pieces of trash. The toilet was broken, though functional. The faucet in the bathtub was leaking, and the bathtub did not look very clean. The general condition of this property was not up to Motel 6 standards. I stay at Motel 6's almost always because they allow pets. We were not traveling with pets on this occasion, but I still try to patronize Motel 6's. So I have seen many of them around this country and Canada. While they are a budget chain, they are generally very clean and predictable. This one was not so nice.

When I got there they doesn't have an restroom for customers for emergency times. Clerk on duty likes to talk against other employees on what was told to me on the phone. Going up the stairs to the room that had NO number on the door. Exteriors shows rotten lumber needing to be replace. the condition of the room is that they like to have renters to party and does not like to repair the room of damaged by them. I had an accident climbing the stairwell to the room and I needed to clean myself up fast to seat down.

Employees in maid and maintenance does not care to be professional people. The maintenance man is dressed like he been playing sports with the street people and dress like one. He doesn't care how he talk to renters coming in like he doesn't care to satisfied renters coming in with any problems they come to find the room in not complete for new clients to stay. Take time to check on the problem but does not care to fix it.

The maid is not dressed in uniform and doesn't care to plug the phone she was told to bring to the room and just put the DRAINO in the tub to have the draining to be better.

After waiting an hour and half for the help to bring me the towels that was not in the room when I enter on, I went to the office to ask to be transferred to another room or be refunded. The man on duty then told me that I only came there to have a shower. How could I do that after I reserve the room several days before. I took training years ago to be concern to customers

Aweful motel 6. Room was dirty, mold in bathroom, cobwebs all over the walls, shower falling apart. If we hadn’t driven for 13 hours and it was so late we would have try to find any place other than here.Worst place I have ever stayed!

Requested a non smoking room, however, it smelled like stale cigarette smoke. The bathroom was not very clean. Dirt and hair around toilet. I understand \"you get what you pay for\" however, it doesnt cost anymore to clean an expensive room than a less costly one.

Motto, We'll leave a light on for you, ..\"Don't \"

An experience to avoid. With a late night arrival, l witness overflowed trash cans, guest setting on the steps for a better Wi-Fi signal as approaching the 2nd floor. Assigned Non smoking room over ripe with smoke scents, cigarette burns on bed stained blankets and patched up bathroom shower. After not able to get another room since they were full and major complaining plus tired after a 10 hour drive, the next day I received a refund.

Don’t stay here!

By far the WORST hotel I’ve ever stayed in. The sheets and pillows were stained. There was no smoke detector in the room. The entire room smelled like cigarette smoke. The lady at check in said the dead bolt on the door will fall out. The heater didn’t work. The walls had holes in them the shower was disgusting!

Take this off the Hotels.com list, please!

I get that this chain gets the leftovers of bigger hotels but this place was ridiculous. The plastic tub had some sort of crack the was covered up with pieces of rubber mat. It was disgusting. Did not even shower. The toilet was either dirty or stained at the bottom. The linens were most definitely stained. The pillows were burnt, it may kill lice and other critters but it was gross. The room was a no smoking room but it had been used for years for smoking and the last guest most definitely smoked. Took over a week to get the stink out of my rain coat. The room was gross. Take this hotel off your list PLEASE!

they did not provide shampoo or conditioner. When we got in the room looked all around just to see pubic hair in the bathtub which is very gross and we did not get in till 10;00 that night so they had plenty of time to clean it. no bags to throw your dirty clothes in. Very dissappointed and probably will not stay here unless i am desperate.

Cheap so that was a plus and the employees were nice but it’s definitely an old motel and needs updating, smelled horrible and there was no way I was gonna shower in there:/ and beds were hard as rocks.. seemed like a lot of locals possibly even lived there, many looked like possible drug addicts.. definitely won’t stay there again.

Although the outside photo looks desirable, it is disgusting inside. The odor from smoking lingered even tho it is a NS room. The bed comforter had a burn hole. The one way door viewer was missing, replaced with a paper towel. The wall lamp by bed was barely hanging on & other things.
I'm done with motel 6. Hotels.com you should be also.

Great Value for the Money

There was not the usual fridge/ possible microwave, and the smoke detector was a steam detectorthat had to be disconnected, But, Considering the price of the room it was a far better than I have paid much more for!

Never Again

Though the staff tries exceptionally hard, the facilities are less than desirable. Phones don't work, faucets leak, no microwaves in rooms, cockroaches in rooms, doors jam, and floors are exceptionally slippery. As a disabled veteran this is not the place to go if you have any choice.

Spend the extra $10!!!

The front desk agent was very accommodating when I arrived and advised there was no reservation showing in their system. The actual room was extremely outdated, could have been cleaner and lacked a feeling of security.

Im not gonna stay in Motel 6 ever again. Security by front desk is not discrete. She told another guest that it is not his room because that is my room. Non-smoking still smells like smoke inside. Can't sleep. I was scared somebody can just enter my room.

Wish there had been a small refrigerator in the room. The man next to us had his truck broken into and his stereo stolen. We went to bed early because we had to leave a three in the morning to drive twelve hours home. Located close to fast food places. We could have used a bigger bed!

Great location clean and has competitive rates. ts

This is where I come when I need a break from home. Stay here a month back in April and when I booked for my first week back here again I was pleasantly surprised with the incentive of a small break in the rate for pain for a week. It's under new owners and management so there's a little bit of a transition going on but definitely improving which I didn't think was even necessary.. definitely the better I have tell and price for this area carrying the staff are awesome as well. I'm happy. In fact I don't want to leave.

Please don't stay here...

If I could have a do over I never would have stayed here. The location was okay, but the hotel itself felt very sketchy. I was worried about my car while sleeping. This is a motel that has long term residents which I would have liked to have known. The bed was uncomfortable, the room was old and rundown, and the outside was rough looking. The worst part was seeing a cockroach crawling on the wall. You know the stay is going to be bad when the front desk clerk tells you \"the rooms are non-smoking, but if it smells overwhelmingly of cigarette smoke just come right back and I will try to find you a new room\". Just please choose a different hotel. This one is not worth even a penny!

Easy access served purpose

Upon entry to room, obviously the previous maid service allow door to remain open while cleaning prior to my day because the room had not only living flying flies and other pests but many dead ones laying around.... oddly room doesn't provide complementary hair products.... But worst of all the price of the room at check-in was considerably more than you told me it would be.... I very likely will not be using this motel service again

Terrible- very smelly and dirty

This was the second Motel 6 on my trip that was disgusting so the review will be about the same. I stay at inexpensive hotels to just crash for the night, so my standards are not exactly high. But this place was truly terrible. The room stunk strongly of tobacco smoke. The desk employee said she couldn't help it if people ignored the no smoking signs. Other hotels have a steep fine on a held credit card if there is smoking to pay for the cleaning. This place did not bother to clean. Half a can of Febreeze barely made a dent. There appeared to be many people living there longterm and leaving lots of mess out front of their rooms. I do not recommend this place to anyone.

Nice Hotel close to the downtown area.

The hotel is close to many restaurants with a wide range of settings, from sit down steak dinners to drive thru to buffet style. The staff was friendly and very helpful. The rooms are comfortable for a simple place to stay overnight and watch tv until you fall asleep. No refrigerators or microwaves but not intended for a long stay. They have HBO too.

Non-smoking is a lie!

Don’t stay here if you are a nonsmoker!!Our room reeked of smoke. We requested a nonsmoking room and thought they had made a mistake.. we were told by the hostess that all the rooms were non smoking but guest smoked in them anyway so they all smelled like smoke. She offered to spray some air freshener but didn’t come and do that.
