What we liked was it was Downtown Nashville. What was concerning was it was easy to hear what was going on outside in hallway. Couple had a fight early in the AM and we were woken by it.

Room doors do open to a breeze way much like a motel. Key required to access elevators and floor. Although this set up seemed odd, we felt safe. Valet parking was secure. Room was clean and spacious enough for a girls weekend. Continental breakfast offered. Walking distance to Bridgestone arena and Broadway. Would stay again. Can’t beat the price and convenience.

Expected better for $300/night
Check-in was a bit rough; I didn’t have the undivided attention of the front desk. She kept talking and joking with her coworkers. Mandatory valet parking $30/night was a lot, yet still cheaper than other hotels in the area. Valet was great, super helpful. Property is old, outdoor motel style corridors and generally run down. Decor appears 20-30 years old. Elevator inside lobby for employee use only; guests had to use the one outside in parking area. Room was clean; housekeeping does a great job but updates desperately required. Bed was awful, frames broken and make a ton of noise, bed wasn’t level and sagged on one side. Uncomfortably hot polyester sheets don’t breathe. Nowhere to sit but the beds if you wanted to watch tv. Bathroom had a sliding barn door that barely slid, and when you could get it moving made a loud grinding noise. Could clearly hear conversations from guests in adjacent room. Glad I brought earbuds to drown out other guests and the traffic noises. Complimentary breakfast was adequate. Bar was convenient, bartenders and musicians were the best part of the hotel experience. Decent pizza next door is the only real food option in the immediate area. It’s obvious management/corporate are stingy with maintaining the property while in general the staff does their absolute best. We unfortunately experienced cockroaches in our room on the last night. The big one got away before we could kill/photograph it. Super disconcerting.
Creepy crawly on the ceiling.

The property is nowhere near what the photos show or worth the money. We booked our rooms months in advance and were told when we checked in that they only had the ground floor rooms, where they never check people into. We had to enter our “floor” from a door in the parking area and the view from our room was a wall. The pictures show a city view…no. The staff from the bar and front desk were in the parking area on a few occasions smoking weed! Definitely not the place that was represented!

Extremely overpriced.
This Hotel is more of a motel. It's very misleading on its website and way,way overpriced. I've paid less then $75 per night for rooms so much better, cleaner and way more spacious. The Bathroom door doesn't even close completely. I was so very disappointed and left a day early.
