"Be aware that the motel charges a $50 deposit. There are large cigarette burns in the mattress cover, which was too big for the mattress. The beds looked lumpy. Don't stay here.2020-10-27"
"The motel room smelled like it had just been fumigated; I was up most of the night coughing from the smell. The carpet felt dirty, the bedding had cigarette burns, and I could hear every room door shut. Spend the extra money and stay somewhere else.2017-02-23"
"The motel was fairly clean. The smoking room wasn't great, but it was the only room available. Good rates, and my dog was allowed.2015-07-13"
"The motel smelled like cigarettes. Don't stay here.2019-05-09"
"The toilet in the 1st room ran continually. No one answered the phone at the front desk, so I had to go down and ask for a room change. The motel clerk didn't tell me how to operate the coffee maker. Don't stay here.2017-05-11"

"The motel room was tiny, with the bathtub just 4 steps from the bed. I was uncomfortable with the men hanging out on the balcony staring at me when I walked by. Train noise disturbed my sleep. On a positive note, the TV had many premium channels. Don't expect much.2023-03-28"
"The motel room wasn't the cleanest, and the floor was dirty. The 1st room was bad; the AC was on, but the thermostat was on another wall behind a lamp. The TV remote control didn't work; I got another one at the front desk, but it didn't work either. The toilet made a terrible noise when flushed. My husband complained and we got an upgraded room. It was much better, but the carpet was stained.2023-02-25"
"The bed was comfortable, and the fridge worked well. Be prepared for noise, though; there were railroad tracks behind the property, and occasional train horns. Industrial noise from businesses across the street started early in the morning, and traffic noise was also audible. The motel clerks were nice and helpful.2022-01-12"
"The motel was in an optimal location. The room was clean and comfortable, and the size was adequate. The staff was accommodating. Great breakfast room. I recommend staying here.2022-03-21"
"Affordable and close to VUMC. The motel room was clean and comfortable, but the bathroom was too small; the door hit the shower rail, so I couldn't open it all the way. The separate sink area was fine. Quick check-in. Breakfast had a variety of options. We were able to park right by our room.2018-02-09"
"I chose this motel because of the price and convenience to Vanderbilt Hospital, but I wouldn't stay here again. It was old and needed updating. Security was good and the bed was comfortable, but the bathroom was small and wasn't clean. There was what looked like mold in the corners. Not enough washcloths provided. There were only 2 drawers in the room for storage, so I had to keep most of my belongings in my suitcase. Consider other options.2018-02-03"
"Good motel. The accommodations were basic but clean, and the room had been nicely redecorated. The rubber seal under the door was torn up, though.2023-05-14"
"The motel room was filthy and disgusting. The bed was full of garbage from previous occupants. The continental breakfast area was just 2 tables in the lobby. It was a joke.2019-01-24"
"The accommodations were comfortable but not clean. There was hair all over the bathtub, and lint and dust in the corners of the room. I don't recommend this motel due to the cleanliness issue.2019-01-04"
"There was no one at the front desk when we arrived, and no one answered the phone for 30 minutes. Luckily, a security guard let us in at 2:30 AM, but there wasn't even a top sheet on our bed. Dogs barked all night. We'll never stay at this hotel again and don't recommend it.2019-05-20"
"Good motel. The room was nice and clean.2020-10-31"

"The comforter had a burn mark, and there was black mold around the bathtub.2022-03-10"

"The motel had a musty smell, and there were bugs in the beds. Don't stay here.2016-04-17"
"The motel didn't look like online photos, and it was right next to a train track; the noise woke us up in the middle of the night. Find another place to stay.2021-03-29"
"The carpet in our room was disgusting, and the sofa was so stained that I wouldn't sit on it. The TV in the living room didn't work. The bathtub and shower were old and stained. Don't stay at this motel.2020-08-03"
"The bathroom was so filthy that I cleaned it myself. There was also soap scum in the sink and bathtub. The toilet had stains, and there were hairs on it. Housekeeping didn't properly service the room the next day; all they did was empty the trash and remove the rags I'd used to clean. Don't stay at this motel.2019-12-10"
"The linens were clean, but the floor wasn't. It was noisy until almost 11 PM. The night clerk saw me walking with a cane, but never got up to help me slide the heavy door. 1 night at this motel was enough.2022-10-25"
"The motel needed major renovation. The room was clean but cold, and there were no extra blankets. Parking was free.2021-11-11"
"The bed in my room was worn and sagged in the middle. The coffee maker was broken. The staff was polite and professional, and breakfast was good. The hotel met my expectations for the most part.2017-09-30"
"There was a hole in the ceiling of our room where the overhead light should have been, and there were exposed wires. The curtain rod didn't work, so there was a screw and thumbtack pushed through the fabric and a hole in the wall to hold it in place. No ice bucket, and the front desk clerk couldn't find one. No toilet paper dispenser; the toilet paper was just sitting on the toilet tank. Don't choose this motel.2022-07-11"
"The upholstered chairs were dirty, and the TV remote control was sticky. The floor looked clean. There was hair in the sink, and the bottom of the bathtub was dirty. The area didn't seem safe. The staff was nice, but I had trouble understanding the clerks because of their accents. Consider other motel options.2023-05-16"
"The motel was clean enough, and the AC worked well. The shower didn't, though. OK place for a one-night stay.2018-07-16"

"The room was comfortable, clean, and perfectly serviceable for an overnight stay. The employees were efficient and courteous. It's not a typical Days Inn, so keep that in mind; looked like the motel had been a lower-grade property in the past.2015-05-25"

"Run-down motel, and I felt dirty just being there.When I opened the door to my room, the smell almost knocked me down. There was stinky carpet cleaner on the rug that hadn't been vacuumed. When I called the front desk, I was told it would be taken care of the next day, or I could vacuum it myself. I cleaned the room myself. I was extremely disappointed.2015-05-28"
"Easy to find. An older motel, but it was clean and fine for an overnight stay. The front desk clerk made our stay enjoyable. No breakfast; just coffee and juice.2022-11-18"
"An older motel. We asked for a smoke-free room, but there were burn holes in the comforter, and we could smell stale smoke. No breakfast, and no vending machine for water or snacks. 2022-05-09"
"There was a cigarette on the kitchen counter of my non-smoking room, and a bag of garbage right outside the door. The sheets didn't fit the bed, and came off the corners at night. The bedspread was lightweight and slippery and fell off the bed. Not enough towels or toilet paper provided. I'll stay in another motel next time.2015-03-25"

How Do We Define Motel?
To us, motels are smaller lodgings that have rooms you can enter directly from the parking area.
At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
