I was really surprised at this property. It’s listed as a hotel but really it’s a motel that’s been renovated. You enter the rooms from outside the building, which wasn’t what we were expecting since that featured photos don’t clearly make that known. Also, the customer service was motel-level as well. Not that the people were rude per se, but our first couple of experiences were off-putting, unprofessional, and even, a little abrasive. Yes, you save some money comparatively to the surrounding hotels, and it is in a very walkable location, but I wouldn’t stay there again. I’d pay the extra $100 to stay somewhere else. Although the room was seemingly clean, when they came to freshen up the room the second night, no one made the beds, nor did they provide enough washcloths, and towels in the restocking. It may not seem like a big deal but when you were paying $270 a night, things like that matter.

Their location is pretty decent to Broadway. If you are looking to save money on sleeping arrangements, this is it! We felt safe there and the valet staff was great. The bathroom door was a bit inconvenient and out of the ordinary. That was the biggest drawback for me. It was like a barn style door that slid closed, however it never was sealed off so anyone in the room could hear you using the bathroom. So if you plan on sharing a room keep that in mind.

Good location

This property is a bit tired. Good location for hitting the honkytonks on Broadway and near the Ryman. Be aware that its a bit of an uphill slog to walk back to the hotel from Broadway

I read reviews before booking.. but thought people were exaggerating.. THEY WERE NOT. We will not stay here again. Pay the extra for a better hotel if your staying more than two nights.. we learned our lesson. Side note: Location is good, breakfast is good.

A gamble -great staff but bad experiences too

Mixed reviews.The staff is great & made up for bad experiences. The hotel is more of a motel, with guests taking an elevator in the garage to their rooms though there is one in the lobby, -maintenance only. Upstairs all doors open to an OUTDOOR hallway. If your room is above the garage, expect noise! Rooms are nice at 1st glance but shabby upon inspection, see photos. My room got humid & I think often -see the rust on the lamp. They did something when asked & that fixed the problem. The floors were dirty. Noticed my feet in the shower, so wore socks, you can see how dirty they got. Breakfast is excellent. The employees were the best of the experience. The PM woman tending bar & front desk was great, so was the woman at the front desk in the day, they made me feel very welcome. Leaving it got bad. The young woman was great, offered to stow my bag since my plane was later. I came back for it & asked if could change into jeans ready in my backpack for my flight & she said the restroom. I locked the door & as I was changing, a man diid not knock & used a key to get in, knocking over my suitcase & blocked his way. He yelled and told me to get out it was a public restroom. I explained. He yelled more. I asked who he was. The owner. I said I had a good experience until then & would give a review. He said he would respond back I was acting like a 6 yr old. He yelled at the clerk as I left not to not let guests change there for my show. May be the owner, but I was a paying guest.
Room gets humid. Everything felt damp and probably happens often since the lamp was rusted.
Looks nice at first glance but up close, shabby. This is the quality that went into it, not great. Lights and outlets didn’t work. Banged up here and there.
Floors were filthy. I noticed my feet in the shower and wore socks in the room all the time after. This how dirty they got. Large bug under the fridge but looked like a grasshopper or cricket. At night Outdoor halls had cockroaches though.

We didn’t realize that your room is more of a motel than hotel. It has an entrance from directly outside rather than inside the ‘hotel’. It was clean and offered a great breakfast.

This is a refurbished hotel that is a motel- opens to the outside. I’m not sure if that was clear when we booked it. Our room opened to the inner courtyard which was better then the street, but not sure if the price matches that.
