Cleanliness
6.5
Mixed reports: some guests called the hotel immaculate and rooms clean, while several reviews reported strong odors (urine, stale cigarette), filthy floors, and pillows/rooms that smelled — overall cleanliness is inconsistent.
Service
8.5
Generally praised: multiple mentions of polite, accommodating staff, easy/late check-in and helpful service; one isolated incident of rudeness was reported but staff otherwise defended guest.

Quiet and off the main drag (good for sleep) but the surrounding area is described as run-down, with limited nearby dining and some undesirable people loitering; parking/lot condition also noted.
Room Quality
6.8
Mixed: positives like comfortable beds, good shower pressure and roomy layouts, but multiple reports of AC problems (not cooling, cycling), leaks that soaked clothes, loose toilets/faucets, and windows needing repair.
Amenities
7.4
Basic but functional: typical continental/hot breakfast with decent options; some conveniences lacking (no ice machine on 2nd floor) but overall standard for this tier.
Value for Money
8
Perceived as good value: many guests found the property met needs for overnight or extended work stays, repeat customers and comments that it 'worked fine' indicate solid value.

Pros:

Overall the customer service and staff was very good. Super nice and very accommodating. The toilets were loose in our rooms, the faucets in the bathtubs were super loose. The windows needed caulked (it looked like just foam but no caulk). The floors in our rooms were filthy. Definitely need swept/mopped/steam mopped. The breakfast was the typical
Continental breakfast.

Gross smell in room
Pros:

Room smelled like urine. Was worse smelling turning on the ac. We dealt with it due to being so tired. Next morning I went to get coffee and some breakfast. One of the staff (short lady with Bob haircut) was talking to another gentleman that also worked there. She said something funny, and I giggled. She in turn accused me of making fun of her. I didn’t even say anything. The gentleman stood up for me, and said “no she didn’t” and “why would she do that”. It ruined my morning, and when my morning gets ruined, it carries over to the rest of the day. First and only rudeness in all of Tennessee!

Pros:

We've only been here a few hours but I can tell we will get a great night's sleep already. It's quiet, off of the main drag and well insulated. We want to take a walk and explore the area.

Pros:

Air conditioner in room constantly turned on and off never got comfortably cool. Difficult to sleep with that happening. Otherwise fine. Area kind of run down but okay. Had to drive a few miles for anything but fast food.

Great stay
Pros:

Walked in the lobby area and it smelled clean, check in was super easy. Allowed me to check in a couple hours early. Room was big and beds were comfortable. Only issue was, when you walk in the room it’s hot may need to leave the air on. I plan on staying again. Great stay
