This hotel was located near the Bengals stadium so thatbwas great for us. The parking was limited. It was valet or in the garage. Both you had to pay extra for.

A bit of a walk to Broadway but there are always scooters around. We used those a lot! The facility is a bit dated but seems like they are slowly updating. There was no fan in the bathroom and windows did not open… so that was an experience traveling with a group.

The noise right now is just because they are doing construction across the street on a War Museum. Dump trucks and cement trucks banging at 6:30 in the morning. Once this is complete though, noise level should be fine. You're about a 10 minute walk to the bars on Broadway.

They told me the room was ready and gave me the key. Once I got to the door room service was still cleaning the room and wasn’t going to be ready for another 2 hours. The bathroom shower only had a curtain. Not so useful floor got really wet and I almost slip and fell. Bathroom was not safe with all the water.

It’s ok

Not terrible, but not great. Old with some updates. This is a motel, not a hotel. Walls are paper thin, we could hear everything and everyone. Rooms are small, plugs are limited (no usb ports), bathroom was not clean. Beds were good and the blanket on them was very comfy, I’d totally buy one if I could. Lol! Walk to Broadway was easy. All Staff was super nice! I did not eat breakfast or use any of the other accommodations. I wish there would have been a do not disturb sign to put on the door for housekeeping. It was ok for 2 nights.

It’s an outdated property. The staff is nice - but the hotel itself is outdated. Entry to the rooms is strange - you’ve got to go outside to go to your room. It’s like a motel in that respect. Our room layout was bizarre. Specifically, the door to the bathroom wouldn’t close all the way. It’s an average hotel and I’m surprised it’s on Expedia

Property was convenient to Broadway. Room was clean with a big bathroom, the the sink faucet was loose and the shower faucet just spun in circles. It took a while to figure out how to get hot water. Other than that, can't beat it for the price.

Great location! It is more of a motel than a hotel which I didn’t know when booking. I did appreciate they had a security guard working in the night which I liked when arriving home from an evening of Nashville fun and having to walk through a parking garage. The bar area is fun and they have live music. A nice budget friendly option so close to TPAC and Broadway!
