I will stay again for the value and the friendliness.
Pros:

Clean and near Vanderbilt Health. I had two appointments you should give discounts.

Cons:

Beds to soft and pillows hard and you sank in them. Not foot when you have had neck and spine surgery in April.

Pros:

The room was clean. The motel is in a decent area.

Cons:

There is no staff on site so if you have any issues it is the through text or call only. We had issues with people loudly talking outside our room at all hours of the morning.
