Pros:

The property was nice - cool, clean, organized and had all supplies needed for a stay!
The con is that the area where it is located - there is no much around and there is limited parking space.
I read about noise (as there is a nice bar there!!), but it ended up at 10pm - so no issues at all :)
Wish I had time to enjoy the pool :)

Pros:

Not that you wouldn't want to leave the property to experience Nashville but honestly you could not leave the property and have a great vacation to Nashville. Rooms are fun, pool is fun, bar is fun, you can make 100 friends at the pool. Ride share never really exceeded $10 to get anywhere.

Pros:

Booked this not knowing it was an adults only with my 18 year-old which is considered an adult, but it was 21 and over so when I went to check in, I was unable to check in lost my money had to get a second hotel room not happy. 21 and over should be the #1 thing on the page.

Pros:

Such a special place! The staff is amazing. The pool is such a vibe and the best music is always playing. Every time I walk in the room and flip on the party switch I’m instantly in the best mood. I try to stay there at least once a year it’s like my happy place.
