Cute updated motel.
Pros:

Very nice location with a wonderful hotdog/burger joint called Mason's hotdogs next door as well as a Jersey Mike's and an Indian restaurant. The location is perfect and in a cute oldslool motel redesigned for single or couple stays.

Very convenient!
Pros:

We went for surgery at Vanderbilt and decided to stay the night before for an early surgery time. There were plenty of restaurants within 2 blocks. Although we did realize it was across the road from the clinics we saw the doctor. The hospital was very easy to get to without getting on a major highway. The room was very clean. Plenty of parking right by the room. Check-in was on my phone and they sent me a room code. Will be staying there anytime we go back. Very thankful for the convenience.

Pleasant room but rough location and rough clientele.
Pros:

Rooms were nicely renovated

Cons:

Location is in a rough area. Had a guy try to put a code in and open my door three times throughout the night. Smoking outside the rooms was bad. Made the rooms smell like a stale ashtray. Did not feel comfortable staying there alone as a single female.

Everything was great.
Pros:

Everything was very clean & has parking on site. I wouldn’t say that it’s like the Hilton but it was a decent place to stay for a night.

Vale a pena pelo preço que eles cobram se for apenas pra dormir
Pros:

O quarta estava limpo e a localização boa. Uma hospedagem boa pelo preço

Cons:

Pelo fato de não ter recepção não tinha como eu reclamar sobre o quarto de cima que a pessoa estava literalmente correndo as 2 da manhã .

Great location & clean & kind customer service
Pros:

It was simple & clean. The location was amazing. You have to go to the Pfunky griddle if you stay here. Also, if you need to talk to anyone or have an issue, the customer service is super easy to get a hold of and and they’re very kind

Cons:

This place is perfect for young adults, couples or a girls weekend. Probably not the best idea for family. I knew that going in there was no pool or free breakfast, but I should’ve probably chose to see somewhere because for the price we could’ve gotten those things, but that’s on me not on them. This place is everything that they advertise it to be. Clean, comfortable simple stay.
