Housekeeping came in everyday and made the bed, left clean linens and cleaned the bathroom. We recently stayed in a “high end” hotel in Hendersonville that did NOT provide that level of service. If looking for a place to spend the night I highly recommend.

Nice location close to Nashville without all the craziness of staying in Nashville. Very quite rooms. Bed and pillows were hard. Breakfast was grab and go items. Nice hot shower. Housekeeping did great.

I came in for one night and basically just to sleep, but the guy at the counter (forgot his name) made check in and out super easy. When I left, he asked if I had any complaints or complications so I pointed out that the shower faucet kept running even with the shower on. When he went to check how I’d left the place, he apparently looked at it and told me he would get maintenance on it right away (I’d expected my minor complaint to just get ignored). Other than that tiny issue, I found a nut under the bedside table. Idk if housekeeping missed it or if this is some kind of trick (I’ve seen the same thing in 1 or 2 other random hotels). Also, the pillows are like meringue: super light and almost useless, but it was fine with 2 stacked up. I parking lot was a little crowded, but I only ever saw 1 other person. Nice little spot.
