My main complaint is being rushed at valet and having to carry all of the bags while trying to check in and make my way to the room. Nothing to put bags on to help with transport or time to figure things out.

This hotel was very well maintained and the staff was friendly and helpful when you have questions. You are about a 15 minute walk from Broadway, no matter which direction you go. The Continental Breakfast was awesome and has many items to choose from. Also, if you need a ride, I would recommend Daniel from Acenashville Transportation. He is very well dressed, friendly, personnable and prompt with pick up times and gets you to your destination on time. The hotel can help you with that

I could not tell from the pictures advertised that this was an old converted motel. I spent a lot of money on a roadside motel basically. Walk up outdoor old fashion motel. Room was comfortable. Staff was very accommodating and no concerns there. I just would not have booked this place if I knew what it actually was. Especially for what I paid.

I was disappointed upon arrival due to the condition of the hotel. The photographer did a great job making the hotel look better than it really is. The elevators and hallway being outside was not ideal making your room kind of hard to keep cool. Also the exposed hallway allowed for you to hear ALL street noise. I’m also not a fan due to a lack of security with the street exposed hallways. Think red roof inn feel with a big city rate.

The rooms were clean but they are tiny. The towels in the room are so thin and non absorbent. The beds were uncomfortable. Some of the info Expedia has listed is false for this hotel. It says you get a free cooked to order breakfast but it was just your basic continental. One of the biscuits I took had mold on it. This is more of a motel with outside doors going to your room and cement hallways. The pictures of the hotel make the property look much nicer than it is.

Felt very unsafe and not very clean in or around property. Check in staff not very friendly. Parking attendant not present for a long period of time upon arrival,so our vehicle just sat with keys in ignition for at least 30 minutes or longer. Had to sit and watch vehicle until someone came to park it because i was not comfortable leaving it. And had to pay the valet fee on top of that. No other choices for this hotel for parking. Will never return to this hotel
