So nasty. We had to switch rooms when we first got there bc of food crumbs in the bed. Our second room seemed fine, but when we got back for the night we saw about five roaches in the span of a minute. We decided to just drive back home. We asked for a refund even if it was a partial one, but because we signed an agreement when we got there we weren't able to get one. Don't go!!!! So bad.

The staff was nice but the rooms are really old and outdated. The pool didn't look very clean. Spend 10-20 bucks more a night and stay nearby.

The pool water is green, so the pool's not safe to swim in during my visit. The uh bathtub, it was filthy. So I did not use the tower shower, and there were bugs in the room as well as I could see. Quite a bit of daylight under the room door so I had to stuffed towels under the door to ensure my privacy

When we arrived, they had decided one of my reservations was a duplicate, so they only had one room. The room did not have a functioning toilet. Although they refunded most of my money, they kept close to $97. I would not recommend this hotel. The price was very close to the same as the very nice hotel where we ended up staying.

This is a tough one. The staff was okay but, you can see they are into a routine and have all become equally lazy. You can tell they never check a room. Why do I know this? When we checked into our room there were three large dead (luckily) cockroaches on our floor. One by the trash can and two more - legs up - in the middle of both the bathroom and the main room. A simple walk through before check in would have taken care of that. The air con barely worked. I set the temperature at check in (4-ish) to 63 degrees to take away from the near 90 degrees outside more than six hours later (returning from a concert at after midnight) - the room was still warm. We had to sleep on top of the sheets to be able to sleep. Hotel lamp switches didn't work - it was always on. With no lampshade - you had to screw the lone lightbulb in to get any additional light and then unscrew a extremely hot light bulb to turn the light off. The plug was deep behind the middle of the bed. The plugs for charging in the lamp base - didn't work. We found plugs by the desk to charge. Curtains were old and starting to ruin - hanging from missing curtain hooks. Floor was so dirty (thank god it wasn't carpet) - My feet got dirty walking from the shower to the bed to put my socks on. I went and got new towels and used a towel to stand on the next morning after my shower to ensure my feet stayed clean. I will be posting reviews with pictures on other sites.

okay stay

On the positive side: 1. Friendly and helpful staff 2. Very convenient location that is not far from the airport and the Grand Ole Opry. It is also on a bus line that runs frequently to the downtown area. Bus fare is quite reasonable: $2 for adults and $1 for seniors. On the negative side: Our first room was a mess, with 3 dead roaches, no means to hang clothes, limited space for folded clothes, and it looked nothing like the rooms shown on Hotels.com. After complaining to the office, we were assigned a different room. It was better, but not as represented on Hotels.com. 1. The head part of the mattress declined about 10 inches; so when getting into bed, your head tilted down and back. Hardly comfortable. 2. The shower floor was tiled in stones, which was very uncomfortabe. One felt like you were walking on a stony beach. 3. We were told they were in the process of renevation.

The desk clerk was very friendly and helpful, checking in went very smooth. Unfortunately the hotel room was very bad. There were rips and duck tape on the curtains and the mattress was incredibly dirty, the pool was green and cloudy. Won’t be staying here again
