The property is close to Broadway and many restaurants. Staff in the AM made sure we had our needs met. Breakfast was well presented and had choices. Internet was down for two days, finally fixed and excellent service. Room was overpriced and parking was added on.

Hotel is a little dated, could use some renovations. Had to use an outside elevator. Other than that it was great. Location was perfect, 3 block walk to Broadway. 3 block walk to the Pinnacle where we saw Riley Green concert. Room was comfortable and quiet. Price was great to be so close to everything. Would stay there again.

The location is great. You can tell everything has been remodeled, but it is not an attractive place to stay. They are definitely working on making this a much better place, I wish you the best of luck

The location is just perfect. It is far from the hustle and bustle, but with a 5-10 minute walk you are close to bars, restaurants and other places most people look for when they go to Nashville. That said, if you are not there to enjoy hotel’s amenities, this hotel is an affordable and reasonable place to sleep. Breakfast is underwhelming, but you can find options around if you want something more than only eggs, sausage, and bacon every morning.

Great staff, great location, overall a good stay for the weekend. My only issue: there’s only 1 elevator and I was told there were no stairs which could potentially be a fire hazard.

Our interaction with the staff was 5*. Pillows and bed 5*. 1/2 mile walking distance to the Main Street which had a bit of a hill at the end. Valet parking was cheaper than self parking in the parking garages. Our room faced the street. That was extremely loud. Breakfast was meh. I would stay there again for the price and ask for a room away from the street.

Very clean property and a friendly staff at the front desk as well as valets. The property is well-maintained but is pretty old. The bed and pillows were not comfortable AT ALL. There was a good bit of noise from outside that was easily heard. The breakfast was so-so; food was decent but coffee was terrible. It was an easy walk to Broadway and to the Bridgestone Arena. Parking was a lot, but less than many other hotels.

Easy one night stay to enjoy the 10 minute walk to lower Broadway Friendly helpful staff, clean rooms and convenient location. I didn’t care for the external facing rooms but I guess that is the design of the building back in the day.

Agree with other reviewers, this has a motel vibe. The hallways are outside so it is ridiculously loud. It’s not the loud broadway sounds, but it’s a train, construction that occurred all thru the night, vehicles that sound like they’re drag racing, plenty of people talking and slamming doors. The breakfast was convenient but other than that there are other places to stay. Also this hotel appears very close to broadway on the map but it’s a rough walk all uphill. Stay elsewhere you’ll be happy you did.
