Not sure if my 1st review was posted but to sum it up hospitality and customer service was great. The place itself appears dingy and VERY MOTEL like. Pictures shown when I first booked were NOT THE ONES that are now online for reference. So beware of that...Everything appears much bigger in pictures and nicer. The KING size inside entrance rooms are better than the ones on the outside. I did not try free bkfast so am not able to speak about that. Other than that, with the right shoes, you can make a right and walk down three blocks towards Broadway and you will see the beginning of all the fun!

Great location. Stayed 2 nights. Housekeeping did not clean the room. 1 clean bath towel, soap and shampoo was hung on the door. When asked the front desk why they said was our do not disturb in the door. It was not. In fact left the room for the day at 10:15 and housekeeping was right next door cleaning that room. Asked the front desk to bring clean towels. Said we had to come get them. Disappointed! Other than that our stay was good.

Great affordable stay near downtown Nashville
We stayed in a newer room, the space was small but had everything we needed and was clean and in good condition. The breakfast was always well stocked, clean and good, scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, gravy, yogurt, cereal, bagels, bread, English muffins, waffles, coffee, juice, tea, milk. Easy 10 minute walk to Broadway.

Property looked fine in the pics, but homeless around property, outside of building is gross, beds are thin, cheap matress. Our group or people (3) rooms all checked out and went and got another hotel. Other hotels in area are actually cheaper than this one and much higher quality. I would not suggest this place to anyone, and I have only left 3 reviews in my life. They wouldn’t give me my money back after walking in and saying we won’t stay. This was also the 1st hotel I have ever left and not stayed at

The good thing about this property is it’s close to Broadway and all the attractions. It’s an easy four block walk going but coming back is steep uphill all the way. The breakfast buffet was OK but imagine our surprise when we got there and it was served from crockpots. The hotel employee who oversaw the breakfast was an absolute pleasure though. Now onto the hotel. It is not very modern and all rooms open to the outside. The noise from outside was pretty bad. The lone elevator is located in the parking garage. Upon arrival we were greeted by the best young man who helped us with our luggage. I wish I could say the same for the young lady at the front desk podium and I use that term loosely it was very small She was very unfriendly as well as hard to understand. We never felt unsafe but I would recommend booking somewhere else.

The hotel looks a little run down from the outside, but the room was very nice. I had a little issue on the first night because a group of people congregated on the outside hallway/patio outside my room from 1am to 2:30am and disturbed my sleep. Also, if they give you the rooms right across from the elevators, ask to be moved. There is lots of noise from the machinery and people at all hours.
