Nelson, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Beds were decent. Breakfast was decent for being included for free. Place seemed a little dated but the balcony was nice and it suited our needs for a place to sleep at a less expensive price point. Great location off the main strip. I would stay here again.

Debbie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Good hotel, reasonable price.

The location of this hotel is perfect. Close enough to everything but isn't on main road, therefore, was quiet. We loved the balcony with the river view. Parking was very convenient. The breakfast was a great way for us to start our day.

Monserrat, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

There were cockroaches in our room. I do not suggest this place to anyone. Bathroom was dirty and door handle was broken. Bed made a huge boom sound extremely loud when going to pay down on it because the box spring was mental and it was warped.
Antoinette, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Nice we enjoyed it. The room was very nice. Looked like it had been empty awhile without being vacuumed or dusted. Overall a very enjoyable stay. Thank you!
Lanita, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

It was okay
CARRIE, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

It’s a gamble on what room you get. We stayed two separate times. First time the room had a mildew smell and the AC really needed a tune up because it was SO loud and squeaky. Second time was much better. Room seemed fresh, AC sounded much better. If you get a bad room, I’d recommend checking with the friendly front desk to see if you can switch. (We got in after midnight and were too tired to make a change so we didn’t ask). The rooms are spacious, generously fitting our family of 6 with a pull out couch in the separate sitting area. I would stay here again if we find ourselves in Nashville!
