Pros:

The room was exceptional and great value for money. The room was 250 feet away from the main street. Great location. The room has all facilities. Coffee machine, ironing board etc etc. There is 24 hrs free coffee at the lobby.
I drove in from Nashville where my daily car parking fees was the same price as this room :-( .

Cons:

The only improvement I would recommend is to change the breakfast menu on alternate days. Stayed for three days and the menu was same.

DO NOT RECOMMEND. PICTURES ARE GROOMED WELL.
Pros:

Location was within walking distance to Parkway.

Cons:

The front staff was not very welcoming.
Our room 106 smelled like there had been a water leak for years and not addressed. Smelled very musty.
We actually checked in dropped our things off in the room and walked around a while. When we came back later, decided that we could not sleep with the smell and checked out before our first night.

Good price with a good location and good staff!
Pros:

Stayed here many times the rooms are always clean. The staff is very friendly and it's priced competitively.

Cons:

It wasn't the motel's fault, but the only thing they had left was a suite which cost me more than I wanted to pay, but that
It was because it was a busy weekend I think.
