    Great place to stay for a trip to Vanderbilt medical center.

    Liked: Location, quite, and price

    Disliked: Bathroom could be bigger. The hallway to ice machine was locked and no code to enter for ice.

    Great little spot for a home away from home for a short stay! 🤠

    Liked: I love that I found a room the same day for a very reasonable rate. Within 3 hours of reserving online, I was comfortably in my room. It was a hot day in the city the day of my check in, and the room attendant had the A/C going for my arrival, so very grateful for that special touch! Thank you for providing my with a sweet little unit for my stay in Nashville! I will be back for sure! Great location, a few food options right next door or across the highway.
