Clean - comfy bed. Decent location to get to downtown fast - it's not fancy but if you're just looking for somewhere to sleep - decent shower and good TV it's good. Some decent coffee / lunch places near by and a shopping mall & walmart all within 5-10 mins walk.
The property check in is completely remote. The instructions are sent to you the day before and there were no issues with this at all. They have emergency contact numvers if you get stuck. It has its own onsite parking and it's just a short 15 min drive into Central Nashville. The bed was comfortable and the room clean. It was near a Walmart and various dining places were within walking distance. The only thing I would day is the rooms have zero soundproofing... so you can hear the conversations people returning late at night or smoking outside and it's positioned near a main road. But if you are like me and can sleep through most things, it is a great place to stay. I would happily stay again.
Room was good, clean and minimal. Unfortunately had a problem with a/c putting out too much moisture. Staff was very nice about resolving. Very good location, with lots of restaurants within walking distance.
Great price for Nashville, contactless hotel with room keyhole check in, comfy bed, clean bathroom. No frills, but near Belmont University and Fisher Performing Arts Center for concerts and theater events.
It was easy to check in and the location was perfect for our purpose

The location of the property was really convenient for us. Overall, it was okay. We did have to make a run and purchase our own pillows and blankets 😅 the ones provided were not very comfortable. Also, no microwave either in the room.
Don't mind the no frills at all. Nothing fancy but was very nice, comfortable and clean. Great for a one night stay. Odd that we had to empty our own trash but not a big deal since there wasn't much. I would still recommend.
Easy contactless check in. I felt safe as a single woman staying here after flying in late to Nashville. The place was spotless and I was able to get late check out. I would definitely stay here again.
