We found the room to be pretty old, but very up to date in plumbing and lighting fixtures. The mattress is 2 star standard, but overall I would say not bad and would happily stay there again. Both the occasional chair and the desk chair were very comfortable.

Clean and spacious. Traveling writers might gather inspiration from an overnight stay. Location is close to rich Tennessee history and breathtaking performances by nature. Smoking room did not have stagnant air. This was my experience

Too much noise and gaming

The front desk clerks were very friendly. We were in room 112 on January 9th and my bed only had 2 pillows which seemed flatter than usual, so it was difficult for me to get comfortable. The worst part was being next door to some young guys playing video games all night, so we couldn't get to sleep until after 1 am, because they were very noisy.

We ended up bringing 2 extra people with us. Had to pay extea. I didn’t mind paying extra but it was much more than their policy online stated. Clerk insisted I pay it in cash when I handed him my card. Then Expedia called and asked for more money because he reported it and said I didn’t pay. Asked for a receipt as proof and he gave me a hand written sticky note. I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on my account!

You get what you pay for.

It was alright. You get what you pay for. The scent of the cleaning products was overbearing and the blankets were super itchy. They charged me $10 extra per person which I found insane. I only needed the room to nap while driving across country. Was there less than 8 hours. The room was clean. Very bare and plain. They had signs everywhere- no visitors; no refunds. Wasn’t very welcome. The area was load and down the road from a jail. It was super noisy. Ambulances, trucks driving by all night. The heater sounded like a truck starting every time it went on. I would have been better off sleeping in my truck.
