This place was a decent price for what it was. I never understood why you still have Holiday Inns where you pay for breakfast. But alas, we stayed here for one night. Rooms were large and dated but it was clean. That's a good thing!

HOWEVER: Be warned that a train does roll right by the hotel and you can hear that bad boy coming a mile away. Yikes...

You are near a Wendy's and a gas station for a quick bite to eat so that helps.

This is a great place to stay for the money. The location is right off of I-24 and is easy to get to many points of interest in the Nashville area. The rooms are clean and nice. Nothing modern, but certainly not out dated and old. The staff was friendly. The grounds are well lit and the exterior is up dated and nice. The rooms are well appointed and actually roomy. Our King room had a sofa, desk, furniture for clothes, telivision and a seperate table to eat. Good closet space and a nice clean bathroom.

I will stay here again as I travel to Nashville a couple of times a year.

Laundry list of problems. While most staff were pleasant, they were also mostly clueless. Pet-friendly, and policy/fee was very liberal, and fair. Room seemed clean enough, but electrical outlets not working, NO room-darkening curtains (for "show" only - did not move together across window!), and smelled a bit old/musty. Many mistakes with rate quotes, "forgetting" to waive fees they "forgot" to tell us about, and the worst issue...they did three separate transactions (holds) on funds with my debit card, which totaled the amount we owed them.. Upon check-out, they ran my card number (fourth time) for the ENTIRE amount, instead of batching the three previous transactions separately for payment, rendering us with a $150 "hold" still on the account, which we discovered after our return home. Hotel manager refused to entertain the notion that this was a major screw-up, and lectured me on how debit cards "work", maintaining that the hotel didn't cause any problem. Called my CC company, and they educated me on what had occurred, and confirmed that the hotel had caused the "hold" amounts to further debit from my available balance due to improper handling of the transactions (should not have run the transaction for the entire amount upon check-out). Tried to again s/w hotel manager - he refused to listen to the bank/cc info I had received, and invited me to call "1-800-Holiday" if I had a problem. He refused to disclose information about who owns this property, and basically hung up our phone call. Filed a complaint with Holiday Inn (corporate), but BEWARE: If you have any issues with your stay related to billing, corporate CANNOT help you! The franchised properties can be fined for infractions (unclean rooms, safety issues, bad/wrong info), BUT, they cannot force resolution/compliance about billing matters. And the GM can "hide out", and HI cannot disclose the ownership of these hotels. They caused major issues for me, and I am still waiting for some of the "holds" on my account to credit back to my balance! They got their $187, though, and held up funds I didn't owe them! On a "better" note - Doris in the restaurant is almost worth the stay herself! Rest of staff are "corporate puppets", and don't have the training, maturity, or leadership support (idiot manager) to be good CS people. Pet-friendly - but NO ONE had any info on local pet services, activities, etc...NO INFO! And for roughly $80-$90/night, only a good "value" if you have pets with you, and they don't make multiple mistakes that ruin your finances, and your faith in humanity. Had they looked into what occurred, apologized, and offered to make some type of amends, we may have gone back with the dogs sometime. We will likely pay more elsewhere in Nashville at other pet-friendly hotels - it's hard to find them, and find reasonable fees/policies. But there is no way I would walk through those doors ever again!

The hotel is nestled near the highway on some one way ramps. easy to get to coming from I-24W, but not I-24E. Getting out to go on the highway you have to backtrack around a few blocks to get on the one-way street. Not a deal breaker, but annoying nonetheless. There's just barely enough parking, so if you get there later at night, be prepared to do some schlepping. Otherwise, the staff is great and the rooms were comfortable, the location really is the biggest drawback.
