Give this place a chance! We did and are glad!

We were there for the Middle TN Highland Games. The location was extremely close to the field and we were expecting just a small inn. We got there and the room was very clean! No signs of any bugs inside or out. The staff was welcoming and we found out that this inn was the location where many of the famous country music stars came to write their music and there was a video shot there as well. We will be back! This was a great find and we are glad we took the chance!

Perfect inn for a boat / jet ski trip with friends

Nicely renovated motel, very clean, & great location, at a very reasonable cost. Perfect place to stay for a jet ski / boat launch for local trips on the lake or river with friends. Launch is ~10 minutes away. The manager was very accommodating to 3 trucks and trailers and a pleasure to deal with. Within walking distance of a DG & grocery store, gas on corner, decent restaurant and pizza pub across street. Excellent seafood joint a short drive down road. Would definitely stay here again!

The room was very clean and in very good condition, with new paint on the walls. The motel is set back a block away from the main road so there is no street noise, and it is a quiet, safe neighborhood. The mattress was adequate. I give it 4 stars instead of 5 because the fan made enough strange erratic noises that I had to turn it off to be able to sleep, and I believe it needs servicing. Fortunately it was not yet hot enough to require a/c throughout the night. Otherwise a great motel.
