Will be back again!! Super cute little hotel that is well decorated and in a great location. I loved the vibe. The Sunflower cafe is one of my all time favorite restaurants and it’s right behind the hotel. This is a major plus to me and almost makes this tiny little budget motel feel like a destination vacation!

I was in a King Room off the back of the building. Room was well appointed and clean. The air conditioner needed to be adjusted but the overall temperature was maintained all night. The air conditioner itself was a little loud but it provided white noise. This hotel is an excellent value and I would stay there again. Most Nashville hotels charge at least $30 for overnight parking.

Staff responses very helpful and nice. Room was very clean. A little scary for me that there were no staff (am old woman) but very interesting and cost effective. There were a few loud noises outside both nights, late. I don’t believe they were other lodgers, more like trains or large trucks. If I were younger i would definitely recommend it mire heartily!
