I left immediately rotten moldy food under mattress. Bed frames are filthy. Dresser missing a drawer and decaying. Water puddle brown middle of floor and food clogging drain on broken sink. Those photos posted are not this hotel. Please remove from your booking this place smelled of mold from lobby to room my dog wouldn’t enter the room. My dog, my dirty dog was offended by this room. The front desk did quickly cancel my stay and refund me so for that I am extremely thankful. Lucky my family found me something similar in price 10 thousand times nicer also dog friendly. I was devastated.

Cigarette burns in comforter, stains on sheets, sticky floor, red stuff spilled on wall, light out in bathroom, people actually living daily on property- smoking and arguing. Told staff I was leaving and wanted to cancel reservation after being there about 10 minutes. She told me \"could give you a better room\". As if the room given to me she knew was not good. Horrible place. Very unclean. Staff in lobby were nice when checking in. Place was very simple and plain in appearance of lobby area. Didn’t expect the Hilton, however, WILL NEVER STAY THERE AND DON'T RECOMMEND.

The room we got was disgusting, and smelled so bad. I’m ok with old hotels,old furniture and such but our room had not been cleaned good in a VERY long time. Stuff splattered all over the walls, mold all over the ceiling and walls, dirty mirrors, food/dirt all in the floor. We checked in and had our stuff right back in the car within 10 mins and checked back out.

We checked in during the daylight and it was obvious there were workers staying there long-term yet we felt safe; however, when the sun started to set things digressed. Full-time resident started coming out smoking cigarettes, sitting in the stairways drinking beer, playing loud music and not your working type. The smoke was so thick in our room at 2am from outside smokers I woke. the non-smoking room filled with cigarette smoke llike our wall-unit AC was sucking it in on us. The other “guests” appeared long term were disrespectful and I suspect government subsidized housing situation.. I was approached by a very scary proposition in the parking lot after hours. I could hear everything outside almost as if amplified through windows and walls. I did not sleep! Do not recommend any families or solo females stay at this property. There is a nice hotel right next to this one so the safety was deceiving in daylight.

I have seen where some people have said they didn't like it because there are residents here. The people who are in similar predicament as I have been are good people who are working hard and trying hard. They are friendly and helpful.

I arrived in the lobby and found the Halloween decor very well done and tastefully executed. The front desk attendant was very friendly, helpful and efficient. However when i went to my room I was greeted by a long term resident/tenant emptying his ashtray over the third floor balcony into the growing collection of cigarette butts and trash strewn across the parking lot. Inside, the room had a strong musty odor and the popcorn ceiling was covered with black mold. The bathroom ceiling had a large blister of the popcorn finish that previously filled with water from an upstairs leak and had popped at some point in the past. The front entry door did not have the security latch keeper installed and looked to have been forcibly removed. One of the electrical outlets in the vanity area had a large hole where the neutral connection should have been and was charred in that area. I only stayed in the room long enough to book another hotel for the same night. The front desk person was surprised but also not surprised when I gave her the keycards back so shortly after I had checked in. I find it hard to believe that there could be any kind of health department or code enforcement that would allow this operation to continue. God bless the long term people who call this place home!

When I returned here for a third business-related week, I learned that the seedy Nigerian at the front desk had cancelled my reservation because I had complained to the manager about the drug pusher in the room next to me (who lives in one room with his wife and three kids), had a screaming fit with his wife outside my motel room on my last night the previous week. I was exhausted after my long drive from North Carolina, but I was forced to get on my iPhone and rebook my stay. The Nigerian blood-diamond drug lord at the front desk claimed he had no rooms available although the parking lot was only half full. He begrudgingly gave me room in back of the motel where they put their criminals and drug addicts. When I entered that room, I found the conditions filthy with cockroaches climbing the walls, the furniture damaged. By that point, I was beyond exhaustion. I didn't care if Mr. Blood Diamond was the head of the African mafia. I called him at the front desk and told him that if he didn't move me to a better room, I would file a formal complaint with the Motel 6 corporate office and the State Attorney General. Blood Diamond was mad, but he gave me a better room. When I went back to the front office to turn in the old keys, Mr. Blood was conferring with one of his cronies, a tall skinny, tattooed heroin addict type. An obese old man sitting across from the front desk motioned with his hand for them to stop when he saw me enter the room. This place is a drug-related crime ring.

I enjoyed everything about my stay, the kindness and professionalism of staff, the cleanliness, the comfortable room and amenities. I love this Motel 6 and I normally give it a 5-star rating. This stay however I could only give a 4-star rating because my room was next door to a very loud family of five who have been living in their motel room as a permanent dwelling although neither of the parents appear to have a job. I did report this to the motel manager who promised to give me a different room for future stays. This is STILL my favorite Motel 6.

First off….the ladies at the front desk were quite friendly. That is about the only positive thing I can say about this property.
Very dirty. Door to the room was filthy, the bathroom door is filthy.
Only 1 bath size (not really) towel.
Lighting. OMG. 3 unbelievably bright fixtures in the room. Could not comfortably have them on. We just turned on the bathroom light. No table lamps.
The bed. An optimistic description. Mattress was completely collapsed on the one side. The farm squeaked terribly with any movement. Looks like an attempt was made with some sort of mattress topper…..not successful.
Very noisy. Is quite literally right beside the highway.
Grounds. The area outside the motel was absolutely DISGUSTING with dog droppings. You quite literally had to tiptoe through. We travel with our little dogs and have never seen anything like this. People should pick up after their pets…..but in the event they don’t it it part of overall “upkeep” to address this as the property management.
Never again….,pay a little more and get a good night’s sleep!!!

The staff were always very helpful and considerate, and that is something I really appreciate, and I'm grateful for their hard work ethic and attitude. The location itself suffers from the drag racing and rocket engine testing they do all night on the interstate, which isn't their problem, but it still sucks. It's a roof over your head, the a/c works, the internet is fast and stable, and it's affordable. Especially for Knoxville. The down side is my room smelled weird, I couldn't mask it, I smell it on me now, it's like 10 elderly couples lived in there for 15 years or something. Didn't see any bugs, so that's a plus.

There were only 2 positives about my stay. The front desk staff was very nice and the bed did not hurt my back. The room was very dirty. There was what looked like a dried puddle of pet urine in the corner of the room. All of the door frames and doors were dirty. It looked like someone put an axe through the bathroom door. The towels were stiff and small. My door key worked the first time I used it and then when I returned, I had to get it reprogrammed. A roach was in my room that I saw. Police sirens all day and night. There was no do not disturb sign that I could leave on my door so that I would not be disturbed but the cleaning person called in so the room was not disturbed but if I had wanted it cleaned, it would not have happened. I mean no disrespect but this was a terrible stay and I’ll likely never visit another Motel 6, as this was my second terrible stay in a different state. It leads me to believe they are all run the same way.

Truly a miserable experience. Check in was the only decent part. This property had garbage bags piled up in the walkways, poor and broken lighting. The elevator was filthy. The room had broken wall light fixtures, frayed and discolored bed pads on the VERY uncomfortable bed. We booked a nonsmoking room but the air handler pulls smoke from the many people who were smoking out in front of their rooms downstairs.
