We stayed here two times in 5 days. Once on the way to our destination and once on the way back. The first time we had 2 queens and the second a king. We definitely liked the room better on the return trip. I thought the hotel and room were both clean and nice. I didn't notice any issues at all in either room. The front staff was courteous both times, had no problems checking in or leaving. We did use the continental breakfast both times. The attendant was very nice and friendly. We did not use any of the features or ammenities as both times we arrived late and left early the next morning. We'd definitely stay at this hotel again if we were in the area.

Do not ever use this hotel if you want service and things to work. I stayed here for 5 nights and was absolutely appalled at the front desk's attitude. They could care less. No one knew or cared about the following:

l. how to retrieve the phone messages - absolutely no instructions and the front desk neither knew how to instruct me to do so, and when I asked they just shrugged their shoulders
2. computers were both out of order in the business center, which they advertise as free.- free doesn't count if the computers don't work!! when I brought this to the attention of the front desk, they just shrugged their shoulders and said they didn't know what to do
3. treadmill was non-functional and when I asked the front desk and the Manager to help, I was sent a note to my room that said it was working and then I immediately went and tried it and it wasn't working. I guess this hotel's solution to fixing things is just to tell people it's fixed and not really do anything about it. Do they think we are stupid??
4. the toilet in my room was backing up and the front desk's excuse for not fixing it for 3 days was that they didn't have a maintenance man on duty all the time!!!
5. the water machine didn't work in the fitness center and once again, same excuse as #4.
6. I have come back home with a lovely case of bed bug bites!! I guess that is their present to all their guests!

I was absolutely appalled by this hotel and Management. They could care less. The only person that served me well and very kindly was this breakfast lady named Minny. Now there is service with a smile. That woman should be running the hotel and the Manager, Michael Horst, should be serving the breakfast or doing the chambermaid work. Then we would probably see better service. I have stayed in hundred of hotels around the world and this truly was my very worst experience ever.

Just got back from a weekend of house-hunting and the Wingate made a nice base. . Very comfortable bed & pillows and our room was very clean. High-speed internet in the rooms--though I occasionally had trouble with the wireless, I just plugged into the Ethernet cable. Doesn't have some of the high-end finishes like flat screen TVs or granite in the bathrooms, but it was very clean and in good condition. King room had plenty of room to spread out with a big chair/ottoman, desk with office chair, and a mini-fridge, microwave and coffee maker. Breakfast was adequate with waffles, eggs, sausage, fruit, yogurt, toast, English muffins, bagels, and cereal. The usual coffee, juices and milk were also available.

A few downsides:
Pool is outside--closed during bad weather so beware of this if you have kids.
Nightstands only on one side of the bed...had to put my book, drink, cell, etc on the floor.
Air conditioner--keeps clicking on and off when it gets to the proper temperature. VERY irritating when trying to sleep.
Mulch/fertilizer--just outside the front door it smelled like the inside of a horse barn. We literally held our noses from the front door to about 10 feet away from the mulch beds.

Overall I have no problem recommending this hotel to anyone coming to the area.

We loved this hotel. It was very clean and the employees were very helpful with directions and suggestions for restaurants near by. We will definately stay there again when we're in the Nashville area.
