Nice and 🐕 friendly
Motel 6 Hillsville VAStayed one night and it was very clean and nicely appointed. Was a little leary of staying in a Motel 6 after having spent 3 nights in Gatlinburg in the Motel 6 there (because it was dog friendly) but this was nice.

It's dog friendly
Motel 6 Gatlinburg TN - Smoky MountainsI had reservations at a really nice well known local place but at the last minute had to bring my dog so I picked this place because it was dog friendly and didn't have an outrageous dog fee.
Pros: dog friendly, price, no carpets, okay room
(I met a women in the office who was trying to get her reservation refunded because her room was filthy, I saw pictures and it was)
Cons: The neighborhood is sketchy (I've lived my entire life in the NYC metro area and have always worked in inner cities, so I know sketchy) the hotel is up a hill @ traffic light 10. When you turn on to the street there is a Cici and a little further down a few nice larger hotels and then you cross a bridge... There is on the right a motel that looks semi abandoned and then a large abandoned motel behind it. On the left there appears to be a nameless motel that is used as an SRO now, and some rundown apartments in the middle and across from the motel 6. I was not afraid of getting shot by a random bullet (more like the show Criminal Minds, maybe getting kidnapped or mugged) I see a lot of teens walking around Gatlinburg and while I would probably let mine walk around in a group, I would never let them out of my sight around the motel.
The room smelled like the disinfect they use at the vet's office. We stayed at another dog friendly motel 6 in North Carolina (it was a palace) with carpet and it didn't smell like this.
The "balcony" in the back facing the river. The balcony is a rickety wooden deck. It stinks of cigarettes. You can't see water, only debris tossed all over the place (not garbage).
Second floor room, there were vacant first floor rooms, why give me a second floor?
The WiFi is in and out but this is all over the area.
The toilet didn't always work.
All in all I would probably not stay there again. This is a shame because we stayed at a motel 6 in Galax NC and that is what a $60 a night dog friendly motel should be. I think in a few years this area will be rebuilt and I may try it again.
