Super 8 by Wyndham Kingsport /I-81

Except location

Scraggly Not the worst place but subpar. I stay in budget motels dozens of times a year, many in this region. So no illusions about what to expect at this price range. But there are far better choices in the area for less money. PROS -- Decent-sized rooms. Solid TV and channel selection. Not too noisy. CONS -- -Not very clean. I'm a single guy with not real high standards, but a half-eaten chicken still in the fridge from a previous guest? Dirty floors are typical in this price range but this was worse than most. Chipped paint and chunks out of walls in and out of the room. Cigarette butts all over the property. Scraggly bordering on scuzzy. -Missing some basics. No coffee maker in room, which is not rare, but no plastic cups or ice bucket either. "Breakfast" is predictably not much. In general, the property is not well kept up. I won't be back. Not sure I'm allowed to put this in a review but I mentioned there are much better options. Two jump right to mind: the Super 8 on Roan St in Johnson City, 20 minutes south, is so much cleaner, friendlier and just a much more pleasant place to stay. If that's too far off I-81, then just up the road in Bristol is the Arcadia Inn. Again much cleaner, well-provisioned and happier. Neither are perfect but believe me, they are much better choices. Both are almost always cheaper too. So this place is OK for a tired traveler with low expectations. But a little ways away are much better options

Nasty room. no handle on the sink, stained bath curtain, no water stopper, floors were so oily you did not want to take off your shoes, missing baseboard exposed mold like substance on the wall. One roll of tp that did not fit. (see photos) The towels were filthy including the wash cloths. The positive was on the checkout the woman was professional and dressed professionally 11/8/2024.
