    very clean - very comfy bed - big room - shower took a while to heat up no hand held shower attachment

  • Engine customer Oct 2026

    No workspace or even a chair and lighting was tough to figure out but it was clean and quiet

    Superb

    This place is a little gold mine. Great location next to some neat restaurants. Microwave in the room would be more convenient than going to lobby, and maybe find a better in-room coffee suppler.

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

    No frills option. On line photos make the rooms look a bit more polished. Clean room.

    No Frills just perfect!! No

    It’s a perfect location for a work meeting at TN National Guard Headquarters. It’s a dated hotel but has been renovated into a nice, minimalist kind of space. It’s in a location that has great restaurants nearby, and maybe best of all, locally roasted coffee in the room! We’ll happily stay here again. It’s in a part of town that great local food, but the overall locale appears to be just a little sketchy, pay attention to your surroundings and you’re fine.

    It’s very quiet, so close to everything and super clean!

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

    The owners have done a very nice job transforming this very old motel into a really neat place. Room accommodations are minimal but adequate. My room (201) had beautiful original wood floors and all-new bath/plumbing fixtures. I have no complaints about anything, I just need to remember to ask for a first-floor room next time. Stairs are a challenge for me nowadays.

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

    Rooms were clean and noise level was low. We enjoyed our time. We did have housekeeping walk into our room at 9am before our checkout at 10am which was awkward but they apologized.

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

    The staff was very kind and accommodating.

    Passable

  • Engine customer Sep 2026

    The room was spotless. AC worked well. Television had streaming apps already logged in for viewing. Located next to about 4 or 5 food choices. Walmart was just across the street. And Uber distance from Broadway and the main strip in Nashville was about 10-15 minutes. Not much to put here. The stay was honestly great.
