Ok, so I am still staying at the Suburban Extended Stay in Hermitage and should probably wait until I check out but that will be in 10 days or so and I think people should know that this is the best (hands down) place to stay for the money in all of Nashville. I can say this because I have stayed at almost all of them in the area.

My room is clean, the bed is a perfect 10 for comfort and the room has everything I need and more. There is a desk and chair, a dining table with two chairs, a stove top, a microwave, a kitchen sink, a refrigerator (apartment sized), even kitchen cabinets with eating utensils(!) The bed is king-size with two nightstands, a real live closet with a door on it, and of course the bathroom. (the bath is smallish but gets the job done)

When I have stayed at other places in town, I have always had a hard time getting connected to their wireless high speed ISP and sending and receiving emails. But not here, I swear, I booted my laptop and was connected instantly. Not a second of trouble.

Even the air conditioning is better. In other places I have stayed, I set the air conditioner, it runs for a little while, shuts off and then the room gets very warm before it turns on again. At this hotel, you set the air conditioning and it runs at that temp for good.

But I have saved the best for last...
I brought my dog with me this time which was probably a mistake. It would have been a real problem anywhere else because when I left the room this morning, he started barking and wouldn't stop (eeeck!) I had left my business card with the Manager (who is fantastic) in case something happened with the dog and sure enough only 15 minutes after I left, my cell rang. The Manager had every right to tell me to come back, get the dog and check out. But she didn't. She called to let me know that two employees had moved my dog into my bath and that he had stopped barking. She just wanted to let me know. ;-).

I know this is a long review but how else do I let you know why you should stay here and not somewhere else.

By the way, only $35 a night. Can you beat that?

p.s. Please don't think anyone put me up to this. (that's what I think sometimes when I read rave reviews ;-)

This Suburban Lodge has had a total staffing makeover and it is a delightful place to stay now. I have really noticed a change since I am in this area quite a bit. They really do care for you and try to do their best at getting you the best price available. The rooms are nice and the location is very convenient with restaurants and shopping within walking distance, right off the rt 40, and also right across from Summit Medical Center.

This hotel is very unprofessional and unethical. One price was quoted while making reservations a month in advance and the Friday before check-in. But, while checking in, they had gone up. I was told it changed two months ago. And the clerk I spoke with the previous Friday was new. If she was new, how did she even know the cost of the room previously quoted to me?
