This rooms were clean and spacious, nothing fancy but plenty nice. The location is convenient to everything in Nashville and surrounding area.

"I drove from New York to Indiana to help my son relocate for work. We booked one night because we were gonna leave out the next day. And then we ended up staying 2 nights, just to get some unfinished Things done before we left. It was super easy, went to the front desk. They rebooked me in the same room. Breakfast was amazing. Staff was very helpful, extra towels. Anything we needed every time we walked by the front desk coming and going we were asked again, how everything was, if there needed anything It was a very wonderful place. We do plan ongoing back in March with my daughter. Grandkids so we will be booking the 2 bedroom suite instead of the studio which we booked, which I assumed was a regular hotel room until I got in there, it was like a little apartment with stove, refrigerator, microwave anddishwasher, dishes, anything we needed the grocery stores right across the street. A lot of other shops and restaurants around very, very nice place to stay. I would recommend it if anybody is gonna be in Columbus Indiana. Book a spot there, the pool was amazing.The hot tub was even better, very, very clean.The grill outside was amazing.We went and got chicken and steaks for our last night.There and had a cookout with a bunch of other residents that came.It was a very, very friendly veryfamily friendly.Establishment"
