Hotel berhampiran Mountain Air Vapors LLC, Bristol

I spent 3 nights here over a race weekend. Whilst the outside does need maintenance the rooms are pleasant. Greeting by the front desk was quick and friendly. I was lucky as I read prior reviews and had asked for a room at the back, away from the highway. There is only a local road out back and the noise is bearable and ceases during sleeping time. The room itself is newer and was clean when I arrived. There were some hairs in the tub but I suppose you can’t have things cleaned perfectly everytime. Plenty of desk space to place things, power outlets on the lamp. The bath area is a good size with a bathtub shower. Toiletries included shampoo, conditioner and body lotion, whilst soap was in bars. The bed was very comfortable but the pillows were too fluffy and small for me. The room did not get hot when the a/c was turned off at night. The only disappointment and room for improvement is the breakfast. The healthier options were pretty much non-existent and you are offered waffles, sugar-loaded cereals, fruit bars, sausage egg and cheese biscuits and yoghurt. There was some fruit but not much. Coffee was regular or decaf and it was strong, but quickly runs out after 10 cups or so. I realise you cannot expect a lot at this price but some other choices would be great. Also, right on 9am the breakfast stuff was hauled away. One night I didn’t get to bed till 1am so Management could have kept it out an hour longer, especially as most guests were attending the race. I’d be happy to return based on the cost and quality of the rooms.

Very clean hotel, and friendly staff. My only complaint would be the road noise from I-81! The hotel is located directly by the interstate, so night time noise was very loud. Also, our room with 2 queen size beds was relatively small, especially the bathroom, in comparison with other Hampton Inns we've stayed at.

It's the first time I've been in 4 years. I believe it's under new management/ownership and they are doing an extraordinary job with the maintenance and upkeep. New flooring in the lobby area and elevator. The reason I like it here so much is the pricing and the close proximity to the highway. I've always enjoyed my stay here and there's a coin laundromat on the second floor. I'll definitely return next Christmas season.

Picked this place for our weekend of hiking the nearby Appalachian Trail. 'Tho it's close to I-81 and right off US 58 - US 11, it's not easy to get into from that road coming from I-81 (no light, no turn lane, busy road). But we got in, check-in was smooth, hotel staff very friendly and helpful with local dining recommendations. Room was large with a king-size bed and couch. Bed very comfortable, pillows great, and HVAC had a ”constant fan” function so that was very helpful. Wifi worked well and the fridge/freezer had plenty of room for our drinks and traveling food. Bathroom ok, average size, shower worked well (but there was a slow drip). Towels were good. Breakfast both mornings started at 6am and was the same but very good and very much appreciated: sausage gravy & biscuits, scrambled eggs, bacon, grits, make-your-own waffles, breads/pastries, juices, coffee & hot water for tea (minimal selection of teas, no honey). Cereal was also available.
