I didn't come across all the bad reviews when I booked a room at this place. Nate Bargatze was performing a show at the Thompson Boling Arena - Food City Center and I traveled down to the area to see him. I booked 2 nights at this hotel so that I can check out a couple of museums 40 minutes away. To make up for all the bad reviews this place has had, I share my experience that hopefully makes up for those bad reviews. They are under renovations. They are doing a lot of work to make the place better considering this must be an old building. I spoke with one of the workers about it & he told me that it's not so much changing owners, but they are changing franchise. They will become a Marriot around end of summer or beginning of Fall. The room me and my friend stayed at looked presentably clean and comfortable. We didn't see any bed bugs or cockroaches during our stay, everything looked up to date and redone. We had a pleasant experience during our stay there even though we weren't expecting a whole lot, but I am happy we didn't receive a bad experience during our stay. I believe they are trying to make this place a lot better and whether you choose to give them a chance, it's up to you.
