Super 8 Kingsport

Rooms are ok and price is reasonable. Check before brining bags up for smell and A/​C. Front is curious and will change rooms in a snap if you need to.

Stayed here on two occasions due to having two business appointments on E. Stone Drive. The property itself is not bad at all. Located adjacent to Dollar General and residential space, its a little tucked away and off the road at an awkward angle in between E. Stone Drive and Lynn Garden. When you exit Stone, you have to make a sharp U-​turn almost into the Dollar General parking lot to access Super 8.
The room itself isn’t bad. Its not new, yet not terribly old. You can tell that the furniture is slightly dated. I stayed on the second floor within the rear of the property, which allowed for greater privacy. There is plenty of parking, and the WiFi speed was good. Breakfast is pretty much coffee, juice, waffles, cereal and toast/​cinnamon bun items. The rate was reasonable at $ 65. Given its location and the winter storms that shut down access into both Bristol and Johnson City, I considered the room rate to be good at the times of my stay.
I greatly appreciated the customer service given by the employees, in addition to the GM, Mr. Jeff Pecor. He really looks out for the guests. While he has staff that completes regular housekeeping & night audit duties, it was welcoming to see him assist his staff members by shoveling snow while also engaging guests in a friendly manner. One very professional GM that I appreciate.
Overall, I would rate this property a 3.5, yet Unilocal won’t let me do that. I hope that they could get a few more breakfast items rather than having the bare minimum continental breakfast standards. The rooms aren’t bad, yet could be better. While there are other hotel/​motel options further down the road (i.e, Red Roof Inn) as well as into Kingsport, this Super 8 is an okay option if you want to stay close to the main hospital area (1 mile away) as well as main shopping access that you would find on E. Stone.

This hotel is old & needs to be updated. The price is not that much better than many other Hotel’s in the area. I called early in the day, requesting a first floor room. I was assured we would be given a first floor room. I asked if we should check in early, to assure we could get a first floor. I was told not necessary, so we went on to our event & checked in around 10 p.m. Of course, all the first floor rooms were taken & there was no elevator. There really is no breakfast. I plan to avoid all Super 8’s in the future.
