Motel 6-Knoxville, TN

A little noisy and pool didn’t seem too be functional to filter the water. Simple maintenance thing I’m sure. Overall pretty good for a value price 😎

Nice property, pool clean, quiet at night

No shampoo. Also a usb phone charging wall plug is really a necessity with everyone having phones now. This was a bare minimum type room but the price is low for the area. Only one elevator was working on the far side of the building. The room was clean.

It is ok for the price, didn't spend much time in the room, has a out door pool but we where there in the winter so didn't get to us it. but it was ok for the price.

They wete trying to remodel.

Random homeless causing safety issues, building is being renovated so many rooms are still in disrepair. Outside doors are difficult to open and massive gaps around when closed.

Put this back on the list once construction is complete

Most properties charge high fees for pets. I always stay at Motel 6 and recommend thos motel.

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.

This facility is disgraceful. So much old smoke in the room that i wheezed and coughed all night. I didn't think smoking rooms were allowed, anymore. It was run down and disgusting. The room was so terrible that i slept in my car the second night just to not have to go back. Let me know if you want pictures. I would dearly love my money back. At least for the second night that i didn't return there.

If I am being honest, my only problem was having to kill roaches the whole time I was there and for people to be paying to stay here, regardless of the price, it should still be clean and toilet seats and towels should be at best decent.

Walls are thin and you can hear banging and people walking above. I turned on the lights in the middle of the night and seen some roaches.

Clean

Bugs everywhere! I left early when one climbed out of my drink.

I booked with this hotel because of the pictures. When I got to the hotel it was in fact nothing like the pictures. This hotel needs to update the pictures online. It was disgusting. I ended up leaving. There is no way I would stay here. There were roaches on the floor crawling.

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.

By any measure this property is not worthy of being listed on Expedia. Room was filthy as was the entire property. Even at the price it was not worth it.

Lots of its guests seem to be permanent residence. Lots of noise and my room was rough lots of burns in the comforters for a non smoking room. On the positive it seemed to be bug free.

For a Motel 6, our stay was pleasant. I was personally slightly disappointed on not having a tub as I'm pregnant and wanted to soak after a very long drive. The pretty granite marble stand up shower was very nice and clean though. Water was hot and the pressure was great! The towels were very tiny! I normally don't have any complaints with beds but this one felt like it needed to be removed as it had a hump in the middle. Everything was clean. The smell was a little off putting as it smelled like dirty fabulouso but that doesn't make or break the deal. I was very creeped out with the massive amount of Halloween decorations in the lobby. I think that was a little over board. We had a microwave issue one morning and they fixed it quickly while we were away. The one downside is the room were we in faced the interstate so the traffic noise was quite loud. Overall for motel, our stay was great.

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.

Paper thin walls, no phone to contact management when neighbor listened to music at 2:30 a.m. (on a Monday) and talked on phone for 20 minutes on balcony. At least it didn't smell like pot like most other 2-star places these days.

One of the nicer Motel 6s I’ve been to. Staff was really nice. Room was spacious and well-kept.

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!!!

When first checking in the motel seemed not so bad. Room smelled good when going in. But after the first night and every following night we would turn the lights on and see 15+ cockroaches scurrying away. Additionally one night there were people in a nearby room throwing a huge party that was loud until almost 3am. Wouldn’t reccomend

Basic "no-tell motel." Floor in room were slippery like there was some greasy residue. Good for a overnight stop passing thru Knoxville.

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.

I checked in VERY late and was expecting a hassle. I was pleasantly surprised that I was able to check in expeditiously

I slept in my vehicle cuz they said they had no record. I showed my pay & reservation. Bunch of crap. They (somebody) took my money.....I didn't get a room. Never again a Motel 6 for me!

We were there for 4 nights and no one ever came to clean the room, give towels or even toilet paper. The keys didn't woek and the staff was terrible and not helpful at all. Horrible place to stay.

First of all this is a real review. I don’t know what hotel some of these other reviewers stayed in . When I arrived to my room the TV in the room was on . The room was extremely dirty and I noticed the smoke detector had a plastic bag covering it. I was in Knoxville with my daughter for a concert at UT. After the event I went back to the room. I decided to check about changing rooms but was told the only room still available was a smoking room. We decided to try and stick it out . I put a towel down on the floor so we could wipe our feet off before getting into bed. I rolled the blanket down for my daughter and a used condom fell on the floor. I have a photo. I spoke with the people at the front desk and they acted like I was bothering them asking for clean bedding. After a while someone from house keeping came and changed the bedding. I decided we couldn’t stay there, we checked out and drove 3 hours home. The whole staff , everyone we spoke to was rude and acted like they could care less. Please do not stay at this hotel. The photos of the rooms on the website are not the same as the room I attempted to stay in . I did get in contact with the people at Expedia and they did refund me the cost of the room .

Friendliness of the staff

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.

My stay was unexpected but the Lady at the front desk was wonderful. The room was clean and everyone was nice thank you motel 6 I will definitely stay again

Wonderful customer service!

The staff was wonderful, very kind and friendly.

The staff are all so sweet and helpful, and I was so grateful to be able to bring my fur baby. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and will be returning in the future.

Convenient location; easy access to Interstate Highway.

Seen better days. I felt like I was in a David Lynch film. Nice people at front desk. Surrounding area not good

Very convenient to get the hotel in area near job. Clean room and bed was clean. I enjoy staying here bc where it’s located. I like staying here and will continue to.

Property was fine. Staff was fine. Cleanliness was good..The nosie from outside was terrible..went on till throughout the night. But I would stay again because was very affordable..

I just needed a affordable place that allows dogs to stay for free. The room smelled clean, i didn't feel unsafe or anything like that. Walls are paper thin, you hear everything. But it was very affordable.

My room was clean and comfortable. Good location for dining options.

no coffee maker in room, floors were very dirty. tv picture wasn't very good. trash sitting around outside. bathroom door was installed backward, locks were on outside of the door. no alarm clock. no clock of any kind. no breakfast bar of any kind. walls had something splattered on them. housekeeping would sometimes leave soap and some days not. also some days no wash cloths. it's cheap, but you get what you pay for.
