What guests think

Somatel Nashville Airport draws mixed reactions: budget pricing and proximity to the airport appeal to some travelers, but many report serious concerns about safety, late‑night disturbances, and loud jet noise from the flight path overhead.

Rooms are often described as worn with broken fixtures, hard beds, and malfunctioning locks or climate control, though a few guests found them comfortable for the price. Housekeeping and maintenance issues like roaches, odors, stained linens, and trash appear frequently, while some note friendly front desk staff. Common complaints include false or unavailable amenities such as breakfast and a closed pool, plus check‑in at a window and deposit or refund frustrations. Expect a very budget stay with significant trade‑offs.

My Mother has very bad knees and cant walk really well, especially up stairs. Their elevator was out of order and had us on the 3rd floor. Beds were like sleeping on rock slabs. Along with if you left dirty towels tbey wouldnt give back your deposit either. Great pricing, but wouldn't stay again.

Started bad from very beginning. The clerk wanted my me to tell him my PIN in order to process my payment. Then a very poor condition room. 1 pillow for 2 of us, which after complaining I managed to get another but only 5hrs later. No coffee machine. No breakfast available as advertised. No chair in room. If pool advertised, I wouldn't let anyone in, as I would be afraid of getting something. The door would not close properly and did not have any safety locks of any sort. I had to put items that made noise against it in order to warn us of someone trying to enter as the place did not feel safe. It was also very noisy. Do I need to go on?

Extremely dirty. Felt very unsafe. Outside and inside room was awful! We stood outside and talked through a dirty window to check in. Urine smell on second floor landing. Scum and filth all around bathtub. Floors weren’t washed, things weren’t wiped down. Pool was emptied and had trash in it. Broke down vehicles without license plates in parking lot. Sketchy people hanging in stairwell. Hair in toilet. We refused to stay the night. Had to lose one night charge but I would take the hit to get out of there as fast as I could.

To say my expectations were not met would be an understatement. There is not even a lobby, much less a banquet room for the "free hot Breakfast". Additionally, the swimming pool was empty with no evidence that it was even being repaired. To top everything off, this hotel is directly on the flight line for departing aircraft from the airport. The room was clean enough, but the phone was not functional. Not the experience I expected, to say the least! I DO NOT recommend this hotel!

I stayed here overnight to ensure I made my flight out of Nashville airport the next morning on time. The ad stated we could get a shuttle ride to the airport for a fee. When I inquired about this, I was informed the ride was provided in an employee's personal vehicle and would cost $30. I would incur another $30 charge upon my return to pick up my vehicle I would be leaving on their property (also for a daily fee, as expected.) There was a take home box from a restaurant left in the fridge from a previous tenant, and it contained 1/2 of a steak. There was a blue hair pin on the floor against the wall when we arrived. The main ac/heat unit in the wall did not work, but there was a portable unit plugged in sitting on the floor next to the bed. The bed mattress would have been softer if it was made from plywood, but alas, it was not. I hope we don't get ill from our stay.

Check in was fast and easy. Great. Room was questionable. The bed was hard(i can get over, its a motel), there were holes in the wall near the floor along the wall behind the bed like they were redoing the baseboards but never finished(questionable). There were hairs EVERYWHERE, on the bed sheets, blanket, in the shower. The rooms were not very sound proof because i could hear people banging on the walls all night, literally. OH AND the stupid smoke detector was beeping every few minutes the entire night because they apparently cant be bothered to check the batteries. It was convenient to be so close to the airport but thats really the only good thing i have to say about the place.

Due to these issues, I decided to return the room key and move to another hotel.

I had a very pleasant stay at Somatel Nashville Airport Hotel! The location is excellent — very close to the airport, which made my travel super easy and stress-free. It’s also just a short drive to downtown Nashville, so getting to the city center was quick and convenient. The staff were incredibly kind and understanding. I had to cancel one of the nights I originally booked, and they were very accommodating and helpful in my situation. That level of service really made a difference. I highly recommend staying here — it’s a comfortable place with a great location and genuinely friendly service!

He told me the area was not safe and as i drove up i saw why he said so, the front desk agent spoke to u from a cage. I told him to cancel the room as i felt scared. They wont give me back my money for a room a book for less than 30 minutes. The driver took.me right back to the airport and told.me to try a safer hotel close by.he told me he couldn't not leave me because he know it's very dangerous in that area.

I was never so scared in my life at a hotel. We arrived around 11:30 PM and a family of four was leaving at that time. As we checked in at the window, another lady wanted a refund. She refused to stay there. There were drug deals going on. It looked like people lived in these rooms, there was trash everywhere. Cars coming and going all night long. We stayed and piled things up in front of the door. Left at 7 am and there were still people hanging in the parking lot.

It was super noisy, people loitering and hanging out in the stairwell. It has more people living at the place, than travelers. Kids run around everywhere. To make matters worse, it is right at the end of the runway. So jets take off and land right over the properry.

This hotel was great quality for the price. The bedding was clean, the AC cooled, and the water pressure was great. Sadly, the area around the edges of the room was dirty, and the space around the room was neglected. It also does not have breakfast like their website claims. However, it is a fraction of the rate of other surrounding hotels and the staff is working hard to improve the facility. I’ll be back as long as their rates stay low.
