Do not recommend

Pros: Ample storage for clothes for a long weekend.The bed was squeaky but comfortable. The size of the bathroom vanity was sufficient for two people to put their things down. Conned: Feeling deceived from the photos. Not a four star hotel by any means. The lobby is detached from the main area so you have to walk outside to get back inside and around the building to access an elevator to take you to your room. The fitness area is also another building separate from the main building not attached to the hotel. Some parts of the hotel were new but cheaply renovated. For example our bathroom door didn’t close. What was once a standard door with a hinge door was replaced with a sliding door that had about a 1 1/2 inch gap that you can see, here and smell everything from. What good is a bathroom door if it doesn’t close? Zero privacy. The toilet paper holder broke within the first 24 hours of being there. Hot water in the sink took about 15 minutes of running water to obtain. It was a frat party on both sides of our room and I don’t think there was insulation. The floor outside of our room was made of concrete making it sound like a parade every time someone walked down the hallway.The breakfast was anything you can get out of a can… No fresh food whatsoever except apples daily. No fresh hot coffee in the lobby. Internet was terrible and spotty is an understatement. When we asked about it, they said they were gonna wait for maintenance to reset the router but he said he forgot.

Hair on the pillow when we got there… not mine
This was as far as the door could shut. Sad that this is acceptable.

If you’re looking for a place to stay for short term to enjoy your Nashville experience. This will get the job done, staff very friendly and free breakfast included. Very convenient area as it’s close by to many businesses and short walk to Broadway.

A bit of a walk to Broadway but there are always scooters around. We used those a lot! The facility is a bit dated but seems like they are slowly updating. There was no fan in the bathroom and windows did not open… so that was an experience traveling with a group.

The noise right now is just because they are doing construction across the street on a War Museum. Dump trucks and cement trucks banging at 6:30 in the morning. Once this is complete though, noise level should be fine. You're about a 10 minute walk to the bars on Broadway.

They told me the room was ready and gave me the key. Once I got to the door room service was still cleaning the room and wasn’t going to be ready for another 2 hours. The bathroom shower only had a curtain. Not so useful floor got really wet and I almost slip and fell. Bathroom was not safe with all the water.
