Too Bad No (5) Stars, only bc of reasons below.
My 1st time in Nashville, I checked in on July 2nd 2023 there for July 4th Holiday week.
I was having a Great time until a Hiccup by night clerk who was very rude, confrontational, & unprofessional.
I will start by saying (Day) staff is proficient & friendly enough. Shows compassion & concern twds guests.
However, u do do get what u pay for. I might give them another try bc b4 incident I told family & friends I recommend the hotel .
I'd prefer The Westin or Renaissance etc bc I've never had anyone disrespect me at these Hotels. I guess it's a 1st time for anything, right? Lol
Ok, Minus will be InOperable code door to enter ur pin#. Maintenance came numerous times to fix this key pad but still not good. So, day shift clerks would assist you.
At night, every night they put up sign that outside entrance door is broken . Id if it's to keep out the homeless in the neighborhood or just to inconvenience us? Idk
Next, my room was FREEZING most of the time until maintenance came to adjust it. However, I overheard some guest say their room was as like Sauna. Lol
Pool & Lounge on 10fl is Great, but some guests hog it to the point I didn't get a chance to use it.
I came down a few times but just sat in lounge area.
The rooms r clean enough however, u must make ur own beds unless u stay for (2) weeks I was told. I didn't like that part , being that I was on vacation; trying to relax.
I do realize, that after Covid, everything changed but come on. We or I patronized this smaller hotel to give them business bc they said they suffered the most & no one had jobs during epidemic.
So, now that I said that, I'm saying that you'll understand why I got irritated with this RUDE night clerk ( Sade) who needs to be re-trained or Fired.
Word of Mouth from guests is the fastest & FREE advertisement in every business sector.
I came in late one night from shopping in like 100 degrees weather bc Nashville heat is No joke. I'm on vacation , so I'm not cooking anything. So, I also had a dinner bag from restaurant around the corner City Tap. Try it the Food is good.
I walked in EXHAUSTED & tired. I went through side door bc again front door at night always has door broken sign. Ok, I'm coming in & this rude clerk (Sade) see me trying to punch in code & she opens the door as I'm politely talking to her she asks if I'm Delivery. I said why, she made inference to my shopping bags in a nasty voice.
Meanwhile, she easily judges her guests, but she's dressed as a street person w/ her attire & unkept braids.
FYI: Tourist, do shop it stimulates the economy.
I guess she doesn't know that bc she never traveled anywhere.
I'm dressed, in a fancy outfit, but I'm supposed to be delivery.
I'd think if ur a desk clerk & it's a hotel you'll ask if the person standing ifo you, you'd ask if they're a guest 1st, if ur not familiar & type in their name & ask for ID at night. IDK
That'll be professional & smart.
Most Hotels don't Insult their guess bc they'd like them to return, but it's not her Hotel why should she care?
The part, where she got very confrontational w/ me over a key pad code was ridiculous.
Later, I told her my room # & I'm sure she pulled up the info, but still refused to assist me getting into an inoperable door where the keypad doesn't always work.
Finally, in my room, I reached for my purse . I'm like OMG, I must've left it at front desk counter w/ crazy girl clerk. I got downstairs, she said she didn't have it, now I'm like is she messing w/me?
Then, I remembered going to restaurant, b4 entering Hotel. I ran around the corner & Tk God, the nice manager had it. I told her what happened @ hotel & she said she was familiar w/ her bc other guests had problems w/her as well. Wow!
So, later, I'm relaxing in my room about to eat some potato chips reached for a knife & sliced my finger tip off. Blood everywhere I'm thinking Omg I have to go to the hospital. I clotted the blood went to bed next morning blood began again. I got dress & called a Lyft to the Emergency room on July 4th, Yeah, that's how I started my holiday getting treated by a Doctor all bc of a RUDE unprofessional desk clerk.
Hotel staff job is to help us RELAX not stress us out.
You'd think ur safe staying at a hotel they got u if anything happens in the hotel , but not here or not on the night shift with (Sade).
I feel bad if a family member has a heart attack or medical condition at night bc this girl is not capable nor compassionate twds her guests.
I myself have a minor leg disability & that's probably why I was so exhausted & my body shut down as well.
A little compassion & concern goes a long way w/ guests it makes us feel safe in an unfamiliar environment.
I do recommend, this Hotel, and that's only bc of the friendly & professional Day shift.
