There are hotels like this everywhere...not just in "Knoxville".
This has been going on for so much longer than reported. 😢😢 The motels on Magnolia have been dealing with people doing illegal activities as long as I can remember. So, if there is a next time to do a story, investigate deeper.
I know right ? That budgetell on magnolia has been terrible for years
They probably know that, these people are mostly local. It's just their prerogative what time frame they report on. There's only so much time lol just bc its not included doesnt mean they didnt look into it. Back then the owners werent doing anything about it as well. But also, look up crime rates in knox. Theyve risen substantially so it IS worse now.
Well, it is a Motel 6. And 3 star or lower ratings means avoid at all costs!
The motel on Chapman Highway that's next to the wendy's regularly has gang activity and prostitution happening. Very sad.
That's "renovated"? Give me a break! 😂😂
Obviously the motel operators don't care as long as they get the rooms filled. If they did, they would have their own security.
Well this video sure got the comments it was looking for
Well lool at the area where the hotels are you can't go to a hotel in a horrible area and expect it to be great..
It’s very difficult for out-of-towners to know which areas are sketchy. I’ve rented some bad places before on accident. It’s a coin flip.
@@MatthewMarcum true true
That's very true.
We'll keep a light on for ya.😂😂😂
And here I thought Knoxville was uppity 😯
Well they just do survey and have a police officer take shifts there instead of having different cops come
60 dollars a night. Duh lol
is Motel 6 is the same business model for KARM and xSalvation Army
I know they stopped extended stay motels frrom renting monthly in Hamilton county tn and didn't know there was any place worse than Chatt I'm Chattanooga TN.
Lol I know about this all too well
Doesn’t surprise me the Motel6 on CB being on the list. CB is literally turning into the new Magnolia.
IT HAPPENS AT YOUR VERY NICE HOTELS ALSO
That couple talking what was there reason for being there ???
Probably a “date” weekend for her.
Probably a “cooking” weekend class for him.
They probably go there because, like they said, it’s cheap and they want to get away and have a date night to themselves and then head back home.
I stayed there back in 2012 a couple of times . Knoxville is bad all over . I lived there for over 30 years
Knoxville was the location of one of the most depraved crimes of the century, the Knoxville Horror.
Hey you can’t talk about that. The usual suspects are always going out to be a doctor or lawyer.
What’s worse Knoxville or Chattanooga
Chatt
I was shot by police for no reason leaving a motel in knoxville tn
I stay at the motel 6 all the time lol it's not that bad at all, the others are bad and they didn't even mention the "worst" ones, that one just has the most calls because it has wayyyy more rooms than all the others.
This is why nobody should rent a motel in knoxville tn...police are messing people up
Shut it down
@Don B
Yep glad I left Knoxville and moved back to Florida ✌️🙏❤️
Motels in Florida have the same issue. It's a poverty problem mostly. Motels are the last step before homelessness.
Call India and Pakistan, they will tell there relatives too clean up there act.
Suspicious man walking a Yorkie but he’s black so that makes him suspicious smh I hate this place
Come on galactic! I'm always suspicious of a full grown man with a toy dog. What other weird stuff he into?? 🎉
"Not a place you want to be alone"... Welcome to the world of people from generations of poverty. The ppl interviewed have that choice. The ppl that are actually there usually don't. Is it drugs? Probably. Lets take the billions spent on bridges and make real mental health and rehab centers that treat people with respect.
Lots of people are poor, and they don't commit crimes.
A blind person could have told this was a white couple.
What?
