Comfort Inn Atkins-Marion I-81

What guests think

At Comfort Inn Atkins-Marion I-81, many guests highlight warm, helpful service and a satisfying free breakfast, while feedback on room comfort and cleanliness ranges from very clean and comfortable to musty odors, dampness, and occasional missed housekeeping.

Some travelers find rooms small or a bit dated, and a few report noise from the interstate or hallway doors. Facilities are basic, with no pool or hot tub, a nonworking ice machine at times, a finicky rear card reader, and no elevator to the second floor. The location is right off I-81 and easy for stopovers, but there's little within walking distance. Overall, expect a basic, road trip stop with variable room quality.

The rooms were absolutely disgusting. One blanket was covered with brown stains and short black hairs in what was supposed to be a pet free room. All of the hard surfaces were covered in what felt like grease so you couldn’t put anything on them. TV screen was covered and streaked in the same thing. There were stains in the sink. No elevator to get to second floor.

Room clean but had a musty smell. Hallways and stairwells not cleaned or vacuumed. Only one ice machine in the entire hotel and it wasn’t working. Was told to go to service station beside hotel to get ice which is unacceptable. Staff friendly. Breakfast on site was very good with a nice variety of hot food and danishes, cereal, or fruits and yogurt.

The beds at Comfort in are usually super comfortable but these were not. Check in and check out staff were extremely friendly and was probably the best part of the stay. Rooms are lovely but a kittle outdated for the cost of the stay.

Staff was great, room was clean, and breakfast was typical hotel style. Bed could have been more comfortable but wasn’t horrible. Was super convenient for where I was working and fine for one night that I needed. Wouldn’t recommend for family or even myself staying longer. Too expensive for an average hotel with nothing around it.
