The place was a good value for what it was and the location. I think it is a solid 4 star. There was nothing super memorable about it but it functioned well for our short trip to Nashville. The bed was very firm and the pillows about 5 years past due for replacement. We were mostly there just to sleep. An investment in a foam padding for the bed, new pillows, and a headboard for the bed would make this a 5 star in my book. The bed sits right under the main window on a simple metal frame. There was a lot of light coming through even with the shades and curtains closed. The pillows were so flimsy they would fall in the gap between the mattress and the wall (yes I even tried pushing the bed and mattress closer to the wall, but the metal bed frame ensures there is always a gap), pairing this with a very firm mattress it made for a pretty tough night's sleep.
There are a lot of notes about people smoking out front- while we saw the remnants of it we never had a problem with them. I could see how it would be annoying though since the bed sits right against the window that the people smoking are sitting outside of. If they are out there talking you can hear ever word. Overall this is a decent place, but we will look for a different place next time visiting Nashville.
