Good but with limitations

My experience was okay. It’s a fine room, and it’s clean. But there’s nowhere to sit except on the bed. I needed to get some work done and had to use the bed, which was awkward. So, it’s fine, but not as a place to hang out or eat a take-out meal, and do anything except sleep or lay down. The location next to some awesome cafes was outstanding, it’s an EASY drive to downtown or the Vanderbilt area.

Boutique Motel ??

We were very disappointed to see the condition of the actual room vs. what was shown online. Beds and shelves were made from plywood. Bedding, specially pillowcases, were not appropriate to sleep on. Not sure how the rating of 8.8 ever came to be. On par with a Super 8 or Red Roof Inn. Not what would be expected from a boutique motel.

Not exactly what we expected.

This is a "remote" motel. There is no staff at scene. All communication with staff is via text. Microwave was in the 'lobby'. Bed was average. But the biggest thing was the train noise. Even at 2:00am the air horns would 'wake the dead". In addition, there is no place (except sitting in bed) to get any work done. No desk or chair. Wi-fi was slow. Staff was accomodating and we were able to check in 90 minutes prior to the actual check-in time. Check out was a breeze.

Very clean, small but big enough for us. The upstairs people were a little noisy but it was fine. We were here for a cheer competition. Will definitely recommend or stay again.
