My wife and I stayed at this place a couple weeks ago during our drive down to Florida. I also booked because of the reviews online, as well as Red Roof Inn's policy of "pets stay free" (we have a dog). I have made several drives between northern Ohio and south Florida in the past year and, with the dog, almost always stay at a Red Roof due to price and pet policy. We booked the basic room.
Believe only the positive reviews on this one--it's a good Red Roof Inn. Clean. Fast check-in and the girl at the front desk was very helpful and efficient. If you are flying out of Nashville, they do have a "Stay & Park" deal (stay a night and park there for up to x days), but it looked to me like most people there were like us, just travelling on the next day by car.
The neighborhood is NOT sketchy; however, it is by an airport so you have a number of chain stores, restaurants, and traffic nearby. You will have to travel a little ways to find better restaurants than fast food near the hotel (McDonalds is close, Shoney's closer). Airport noise not at all noticeable. Easy access to the interstate to get to downtown Nashville or anywhere else you might want to go in the area. We went downtown on a Sunday afternoon and it only took us 15 minutes from the hotel.
All in all, this is one of the better Red Roofs I've stayed in over the past year and I've been in quite a few now. If you're looking for a big bathroom, a mint on your pillow, lots of amenities, etc., spend $50-$100 more and get it--there are lots of hotels in Nashville. But if you're looking for a good, safe, clean, reasonable cost place to stay for the night, this one really can't be beat in the Nashville area.
