Terrible property. There was an unbelievable amount of what appeared to be Drug addicted, homeless people surrounding the property. The rooms were dirty and a stench of cigarettes.

Hotel need some major upgrades, and cleaning. There were cockroaches, and dust everywhere. The false ceiling can fall down any time. Also there is a bad smell.
Location is good, and lot of potential with proper handling.

The room was almost 90 degrees with the air being off. Took several hours for the room to cool down. Room was dirty, property was completely run down. The place looked like it should be condemned.

This property was surprisingly pleasant, especially for the excellent price! The area is decent but there were a few people hanging around the property that were not staying there. Check in was great and all staff were friendly!

Hotel was clean, easy check in and check out. Room was clean and the king size bed was so comfortable. I will definitely stay there when we go back to TN.
