We came to town at the last minute to see the eclipse. I had stayed in a Motel 6 from hell the year before in Knoxville, and after complaining, had received a voucher for a free night. Before arriving, we called to ask how to use it. The clerk, friendly Molly, said she wasn't sure and asked the manager, Dee, to call me back. He did promptly. He asked for the numbers on my voucher, but the system wouldn't allow him to enter them (I suspect corporate didn't want to lose a lucrative night -the rate was $200!). He called back and said no go. I told him there was NOTHING on the voucher with black out dates; he said he would call again. Lo and behold, he called back and said all was good. I had two nieces and brother and sis-in-law in tow, so Dee saved quite a few of us from somehow sleeping in a Walmart parking lot. My sister-in-law was able to work in the morning and with a McDonald's right next door, we all could chill out before the totally amazing TOTALITY! THANKS DEE! And my apologies for being tacky and not checking out on time. Getting a shower and having a/c was fantastic. VERY GRATEFUL DEE! The room was comfortable and clean. Overall, even in the Knoxville meth lab from the year before, I have found Motel Six staff to be wonderful. I drove cross country years ago and stayed in Motel Six then; they were newly renovated and not scary at all. I hope Motel Six and the US of A ends the scourge of drug abuse. I travel A LOT and see no point in overpriced spa hotels. This one was great and made excellent by great staff. Keep up the good work!!!!
