I know that Motel 6 is no-frills, but most of the ones we have stayed at were clean and safe. This one was just plain dirty. At least it is in a safe area.

We were greeted with a very friendly young man who greeted us. It was a great start. He gave us a great price for our room. When we got into the room it was like 90 degree's in it, dirty walls, dirty carpet, hair in tub, mold on shower curtain and ceiling and soap scum. Bed was comfortable even for the bed bugs! Wife woke up with several bed bug bites. It is in a bad neighborhood with people standing in parking lot (drugs), poor lighting in back. I would suggest you find a different motel. Not all Motel 6's are this bad! Definitely not like the advertising you see on TV! Tv is also loosing its picture. Time to hit the road and just count this as one more memory for our long trip!

May 4-8, 2010 (4 nights). I had booked a handicapped room online because a family member living in Chattanooga had suffered a stroke and there was a possibility that another relative (handicapped) from out of town might be staying with me at this Motel 6 while we visited our ill relative. Anyway, the room I booked had suffered water damage around the time of the Nashville flood and was not available, but the staff called me on my cell and kindly arranged another room, and it all worked out just fine. This motel is not a Hilton. Its a Motel 6. As advertised, it was clean enough, comfortable enough, they "left the light on for me" and it was a GOOD value - and everything (A/C, TV, etc.) worked properly. They even offered wake-up calls and free coffee each morning. My only negative comment is that this non-smoking room smelled quite smokey, but using the A/C improved the oder over time.

In spite of some bad reviews we booked a room. It is the lowest priced motel room I've ever used. The staff was friendly and the room was clean a smelled okay. There were a few old cigarette burns around and some signs of age on the building, but considering the price I'd say it was a great deal. The parking lot and surrounding area did not seem unsafe to me (as another reviewer said). I'd recommend it to any budget minded travelers and I'd stay there again.
