I recently stayed at this hotel, and I can truly say the experience exceeded my expectations. The rooms were clean, the atmosphere was relaxing, and the overall hospitality was top-notch—but what really made my stay exceptional was the outstanding service from the front desk associate, Chastity.
From the moment I walked in, Chasti greeted me with a genuine smile and a warm welcome that set the tone for the entire visit. She was patient, attentive, and incredibly helpful—whether it was answering questions, offering local recommendations, or making sure my check-in process was smooth and stress-free. Her professionalism, kindness, and upbeat personality made me feel valued as a guest.
It’s rare to meet someone who so clearly loves what they do, and Chastity truly elevates the guest experience. Thanks to her, my stay was not just comfortable but memorable. I will absolutely be returning—and recommending this hotel—because of the exceptional service she provided.
Highly recommend!

Easy access from I65 south for Franklin and Cool Springs. The room was clean and quiet, exactly what we needed after a long drive day. Fresh coffee (complementary) 24 hrs a day in the lobby and a fully stocked pantry (no alcohol in the pantry, it is TN after all). There is a small workout space, but we didn't bother. Restaurants are close by as well.

Christa and her entire team are friendly and helpful. They have been kind to us during our stay and they even had treats for our fur baby. The location for Columbia TN is right off the interstate. Plenty of parking and near restaurants.

I'm not sure if the one I had done posted so I will redo it. We are on our way from Alabama to Cleveland Ohio and stop for the night. This is a lovely room and had everything we could want. My only comment is that we requested a handicap room and it seems we got a hearing impaired handicap room. This had a walk-in shower which was wonderful but the toilet was too short and there was no grab bar or any way to help me get off the toilet. Other than that it's a fabulous room and we would definitely stay again!
