This is a quirky and delightful place. From the entrance to the “lobby” to the selfie booth, everything says “welcome”. For those (like myself) accustomed to having an actual person check you in, it may be a bit of an adjustment to get used to this system, but it works very well (although I had no need to call anyone, so don’t know how that would have worked). There is a slight retro dormitory feel to the cinder block hallways, but in a fun way, and certainly far more immaculate and fresh than most real dormitories. I was in the “economy” room, which was quite small but had everything I needed, including a quite clever way to hang up clothes despite having no closet. The bathroom and shower offered everything you could need and there was a handy guide for both the immediate area of East Nashville and for other parts of the city. And there were EXCELLENT treats and bottled water. I thought it was a bit pricey for this, but Nashville has become quite pricey overall, and given that I had everything I could want with a VERY comfortable bed and a quiet room in exactly the part of town where I needed to be, it was terrific. I also so appreciate the “giving back” aspect of “a room for a room” . I would happily return to this hotel and recommend it to friends who are willing to go for a new kind of “hotel” experience.
