Martha Washington Inn and Spa
This historic building has stood in Abingdon since 1832, when a Virginia army general built it as his private residence. Today, it's a busy hotel and spa. Rooms here fill up, so it's best to reserve one quickly. The Martha Washington comes with a host of amenities. There's a remodeled glass-walled natatorium with an Olympic-quality swimming pool, outdoor walking trails complete with a rock-lined waterfall, fitness center, outdoor whirlpools with fire pit and lighted tennis courts. But guests also enjoy the little touches. The Martha Washington provides a complementary glass of port wine in the library or outside the fire pit at the end of every day.

Comfort Inn
If you're looking for clean rooms without many surprises or frills, the Comfort Inn is a solid choice. Like all motels in this chain, the Abingdon Comfort Inn provides rooms that are basic but functional. They're also fairly inexpensive, depending on the time of year in which you travel. This hotel's best amenity might be its location. The Comfort Inn sits near the Barter Theatre, the state theater of Virginia, and the Bristol Motor Speedway. The hotel has an outdoor heated pool but no indoor one. The Comfort Inn does have a free continental breakfast that comes with all the rolls, coffee and bagels that you'd expect.
