I travel frequently and on occasion, drive the I-81 route from the Washington DC area to areas further South. Typically, I tend to overnight in the Bristol VA/TN area, and the hotels range from good to unacceptable. This time I drove past Bristol and about 15-20 mins later saw a LaQuinta sign just off the interstate. I was tired and figured what the heck, it couldn't kill me. This one was at "10150 Airport Parkway" in Kingsport, TN. In a nutshell: This hotel was MUCH cleaner, MUCH quieter, and had MUCH better service than many of the Bristol hotels. Maybe it is newer? Whatever the reason, it was a pleasure to stay there. Please do not get this one confused with the LaQuinta at 1014 Old Airport Road in Bristol- that one needs some TLC. Anyway, I was relieved to find a good hotel on this route.
