The Spotlight on Motel 6-East Ridge TN

Affordable Comfort Close to Chattanooga’s Music Scene

Motel 6-East Ridge TN is a clean, no-frills hotel located just outside Chattanooga in East Ridge. It’s a simple and budget-friendly option for concert-goers who want a straightforward stay with essential amenities. With air-conditioned rooms, cable TV, free WiFi, and a seasonal outdoor pool, this 2-star hotel offers what you need to rest and recharge without breaking the bank.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel is just a short drive from many of Chattanooga’s top concert venues, including ones near downtown and the popular Lookout Mountain area. It’s also less than 4 miles from Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport, making it easy for out-of-towners. Rooms are surprisingly quiet for the price, and the 24-hour front desk means you’ll have help no matter what time your show ends. Check-in starts at 3:00 PM and check-out is at 11:00 AM—great for catching some extra sleep the morning after.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for an affordable base
  • Solo travelers seeing a bucket-list artist
  • Couples making a quick weekend of it
  • Fans who want a simple, quiet recovery spot
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who just need the basics

Food and Drink Options

While Motel 6 doesn’t offer on-site dining or room service, its location in East Ridge puts you within walking or driving distance of several fast food joints and casual restaurants. Late-night eats are just a quick drive away, and early risers can grab breakfast nearby after a late night out.

Nightlife Options

This isn't a party hotel, but that's part of the appeal for some. If you're looking to keep the night going, head into downtown Chattanooga (about 15–20 minutes by car) for bars, lounges, and live music venues. For a quieter scene, unwind poolside or chill in your room with cable TV.

What People Say

Guests on TripAdvisor and Booking.com love the hotel’s budget-friendly rates, clean rooms, and helpful staff. Many mention that it’s a surprisingly quiet place to stay despite being near the highway. The pool is a hit in warmer months, and the free WiFi is reliable.

Areas for Improvement

It’s not fancy—there’s no breakfast, no gym, and the decor is basic. A few guests mentioned the occasional noise from other rooms or outside, but most found it manageable. Bring your own toiletries if you're picky, as only the basics are provided.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for a clean, affordable place to crash after the show, Motel 6-East Ridge TN delivers exactly what you need—no more, no less.

Long story short... SAVE YOUR...

Disliked: When we entered the room to check things, the floor was filthy, mirror had something all over it, the toilet bowl was dirty, the air conditioner and nightstand had something all over it, and there was some type of bug (couldn't confirm what it was). The bedding clearly hadn't been changed - there was hair from the previous occupant, dirty paw print marks, crumbs and debris, yellow staining. There was a bed bug protector on the bed, which had a thing to lock the zipper, but the protector WASN'T SECURED like it should be. We were able to see a portion of the mattress which was absolutely disgusting too. We had already decided we weren't going to stay in the room, but before leaving the room, the lady from the front desk called the room and asked "is everything ok" which raised even more concern. Needless to say, we DID NOT stay there. We politely expressed our concerns to the lady and she said for us to contact booking.com for a refund. We immediately contacted them after vacating, but it's been three days since we contacted them. We contacted booking.com again all just to be told that they aren't receiving any response from the property about our refund, so they aren't able to do anything without response since the property received payment already. We were told that we would need to contact the property directly about it and get them to respond. We contacted the property and spoke with the same lady. She instantly got an attitude and began raising her voice while stating she TOLD us to contact booking.com that day (which we did). We attempted to calmly explain that since they weren't responding booking.com isn't able to proceed. The lady just continued to be argumentative and stated that booking.com hadn't contacted them and how she TOLD us we needed to contact them that day. Long story short, the property got our money and can continue to run their disgusting establishment.
