About this property
Welcome to Kimball Motel
Kimball Motel stands as a practical choice for travelers seeking a simple, clean, and affordable stay off Interstate 24 in Kimball, Tennessee. With a modest rating of 2.9, it caters primarily to those passing through who value convenience and essential amenities over luxury. Located at 130 Main St, this motel offers easy highway access, making it an ideal stop for road trippers and visitors exploring regional attractions such as the Russell Cave National Monument and Chattanooga Zoo.
Guests frequently highlight the motel's comfortable beds and clean rooms, emphasizing the presence of new mattresses that elevate the overall sleeping experience. Joanne Cuzzi and Michael Fletcher both appreciated the reasonable pricing paired with a quiet, restful environment. The presence of air conditioning and free Wi-Fi further ensure a comfortable and connected stay in the often warm Tennessee climate. Pet-friendly and kid-friendly policies add to the motel’s family-oriented appeal, while free parking and accessible facilities enhance guest convenience.
Despite these positives, Kimball Motel is not without its flaws. Some maintenance issues have been noted, including non-functioning telephones and missing room supplies such as towels, requiring guests to seek assistance at the front desk. The absence of a dedicated restaurant, fitness center, or airport shuttle means guests should plan accordingly. Free breakfast is available, but its timing and availability seem inconsistently communicated, limiting its value.
Overall, Kimball Motel provides honest, no-frills lodging with an emphasis on basic comfort and affordability. It is a dependable refuge for travelers who prioritize a clean, restful night and convenient location above upscale amenities. The kind staff and new mattresses hint at an underlying care for guest experience, suggesting a hidden potential for growth and improvement.

8.0
Was just passing thru. Needed a comfy bed and clean place to rest and shower. This was perfect On/off highway stop at a reasonable price. I gave it a four star because there was not a single towel in the room and the phone to call the front desk did not work. I called the front desk with my cell phone and she said she would have towels for me at the desk and she apologized and said management would be informed…
8.0
I stayed here one night because it was the cheapest hotel on Google Maps at the exit off I-24 when we decided to stop. I paid $74.59 for two adults in a double bed room. The beds were comfortable and the linen was clean and in good shape. Window air conditioner worked great in 100 degree weather. The lady at check in was friendly. There are some minor maintenance issues like a toilet that won't stop running, showers in need of refurbishment, a parking lot that's in pretty bad shape and the ice machine wasn't working and we had to go to the hotel next door to get ice. For a place to crash on a budget I wouldn't hesitate to come back.
8.0
The staff were kind and they weren't stingy with their small supplies. The room was clean. The bed was comfortable. We seen NO BUGS! They have new mattresses we seen the old ones by the trash. Breakfast we never had and they never told us breakfast times. We still were satisfied with our stay..
