Great but Priorite Guests

The stay was good, we’ve been a few times now and we always have a great time. From the pool to the staff and the bartenders and the vibe it’s always a great time. My only point of dissatisfaction was the parking, the lot is already tiny and I really think some spots should be saved for guests. We had to park a block down at the dry cleaners and they have a huge sign that says customer parking only. The lady at the front desk advised we park at the schoool next door but they had an event going on and so the dry cleaners was our best bet. I feel they need to prioritize guests over people stopping by just for a swim. Might not stay here again just to avoid any inconvenience.

Staff were all fantastic and the free classes offered something fun to do without having to leave. We had a blast at swing class and the water aerobics the next morning was such a nice touch. Food truck and bar were both great and the Photo Booth and decor were all perfect.

It’s a cute hotel but when we checked in we went to our room and it was covered in condensation. The sheets and blankets, the walls and floor. I grew up in this area so I understand humidity but we had to turn on the AC and come back in a few hours so it could dry.

Nashville Gem!!

This is my third stay at the dive motel- every time has been a pleasure. The rooms are funky (retro! And very clean) and it’s really nice to have a little bar on site to grab a drink. Overall the vibes are excellent. The lobby is very helpful and responsive to texts and we had every thing we needed. Shout out to the excellent customer service- We had to make a last minute change and they were incredibly kind and accommodating. Last thing I wanna mention is that this place is different in the summer months- pool is open to the public during the day. Something I wasn’t aware of during booking, so keep it in mind- summer months are gonna be more of a pool party and fall/winter is definitely more private and lowkey. In any case, this place is a gem. We’ll definitely be back.

This is a solid little place. 10/10 vibes. The in-room stations are great… never thought I’d hear a track from a James Marcel Stinson side project in a hotel. Docking a point from the room because the mini split only goes down to 68 and I like to keep the temp at “Ice Planet Hoth” levels while I sleep.

The staff is really friendly and helpful. The hotel itself has some issues. When I first checked in, I noticed the room had a bad odor to it. I went to the front desk and asked if they had any other open rooms and was told "Is it a musty smell? yeah they all have that"... yuck. True, the second room also smelled. The room(s) I was given were also not the room I intended to book (the pink mural room) and the furniture is all really old/thrift store looking and there is a lot of dirt and debris in the corners. The bathroom is just paint on top of old tiles so it's chipping in a lot of places. There were some spiders. BUT, the biggest issue was the fact that loud music starts at 8 AM and plays at the pool all day long. It's impossible to sleep in or relax in the afternoon. I get it that it's fun at the pool... but what about the guests? Other plus was that parking was free, but I won't be returning.

This hotel in particular was fantastic. The area is a little less than desirable, however. Every Uber driver we had told us how dangerous the area was at night. We didn't feel unsafe during the day.
