Cockroaches everywhere in room and the shower didn't work, as in wasn't even connected. Should be charging $10 a night instead of what they are charging.

The bathroom smelled like urine! i asked for nonsmoking and the room smelled like cigarettes the sheets had a strong smell as well. I was very shocked that the rooms were infested with roaches! location is great, customer service is good... They need to invest in cleaning the rooms better and get rid of the roaches!

There were cigarette burns and stains on the sheets. There were food stains on the dust skirt. The toilet was loose so when you sat down at rock back-and-forth. The vent in the bathroom had never ever been cleaned since it was installed. It was Nasty. The water pressure was very low, so shower was challenging. The faucet in the shower didn’t actually turn off. You had to move it back-and-forth until it stopped somewhere.

The room was poorly maintained and dirty. It had roaches!!! The other guests was loud and fighting around 2-3am in the morning. The sheets had burn holes in them from cigarettes although it was a nonsmoking room.

The power went out on one side of the room. We had to change rooms and the TV didn’t work in the second room. People outside screaming and fighting and calling the cops in the middle night till about 4am. After walking barefoot in the room my feet were black. The staff wasn’t available for me to check out and when I tried to call them I’ve gotten no answer.

It was horrendous. The room was to be non smoking and it knocked you down when you opened the door. Smelled like a stale ashtray from a bar. Windows and mirrors were cover in nicotine. Cleaner was in room but not used. Furniture was nasty. Clothing was in our room from previous people. Bed linins were dirty and were burnt. Tv would not work. Would never recommend.

Where do I start. The moment I drove onto the parking lot I didn't feel very safe. This is the kind of place you go to drop off a ransom. When I initially checked in, they took almost 20 minutes trying to figure out how to check me in. And they gave me an OCCUPIED ROOM at first. Backpacks, messed up bed, etc. How do you mess that up? The second room I got was not good. Urine stains in the bath tub, whoever was in there last didn't flush the toilet and neither did cleaning staff. Floors were sticky. God knows what was in the bed. Some kind of dust all over the floor. TV didn't even work. I just left and booked a different hotel. Also they have a strict no refund policy and hotels.com did not help me out despite being a longtime customer. So I had to eat the cost. If you must stay here, leave your valuables at home. They'll probably give a key to your room to someone else.

When checking in was told no room available even with the guaranteed reservation. Clerk finally got mgr on the phone and said he could give us a single king vs 2 queens but it was really still under renovation. Tired from driving all day i agreed. If it was anyone other than me and my adult son i would have turned around and slept in my car. First off I pulled the curtain shut and it looked like blood all over it, like the result from a suicide. Gross but I needed sleep. Couldn't figure out the tv. Slept on top of the covers for fear of what might be under. Furnishing were dilapidated and worn to the point of no finish. The shower, while having the pressure of a fire hose, appeared stained from previous mold. Sorry, but $120 for a few hours of crappy experience was really highway robbery.

It was ok. However the property had no hot water. So when we were going to take showers we couldn't. When we checked on they should have told us.. they only said something when i asked why no hot water?

You pay what you ask for. Our room was on the back side and you had people that i guess lives there at the hotel and they was up all night outside yelling banging on doors and was drunk i felt unsafe there with my son and husband .my son had a karate tournament so i looked at the pictures online what the hotel looked like and the pictures lied . I also saw a big roach and i felt grossed out after that. And the beds when we came into our room was not made up at all. We had to ask for covers and pillows and towels. But the staff was very nice tho. But i wouldnt recommend going to that hotel.

The room was not clean and dirty towels. When I told them at reception, they told me it was due to the amount I had paid for the room. That doesn't make sense. No matter how much you pay, the service is the most important thing.

Staff top notch. Loved the room amenities. EVERYTHING in walking distance. Loved it. Would stay there again. Nothing I didn’t like. The staff hooked me up with A TON of fresh clean towels when I asked for a shower towel and pointed to the dirty laundry basket in the hall for when I’m done. Of course out of respect for their efforts, I dropped all my dirty towels in the basket when I left. Clean lobby. Bible in the drawer and coffee in the room. Perfect.

Make sure you bring lysol and bug spray if you are going to stay here. Spray the bed and couch with the lysol spray. And spray around the room with the bug spray. I did that once i arrived and i felt better about my stay. Not a place for kids. But it was the closest hotel i could find to Nashville Superspeedway
