Nice for overnight stay
The check-in was easy. The room was nice. The staff seemed nice. It was a unique experience because there's no front desk and you get a code to check into your room and checkout. My only complaint is that the bathroom was small. I would stay here again, though

Excellent getaway spot
Absolutely the best time, while it was a little odd not to have a front desk it was super easy to get in and settled. It was the perfect location outside of downtown Naahville.

This is the worst motel I have ever stayed in in my life because I couldn't even sleep because there was too much noise from all sides.
