Motif was a new hotel for us in Nashville, as we usually stay in another part of town. We liked the location- for a couple who had lived in Nashville for many years, we were able to explore a whole new side of town. The hotel is about a 2 minute walk to Bobby's Idle Hour, one of the city's true classic bars, and food/breakfast is easily accessible by foot.
The hotel was not luxury, at least for us as we booked a studio room. I found the room to be a bit hot, but the temps outside had reached over 100 degrees so this may not be the norm when the weather is normal. In-room kitchen was great and clean, ice machine in the refrigerator worked- and unlike many hotels the public one on the floor also did not run out of ice! We booked primarily for the pool, but it was so busy we didn't take much advantage of it- however, the max depth is 3 1/2', and it is primarily a 6" wading pool. Parking was interesting- an additional charge and a tight squeeze under the hotel- but it worked out fine and we were glad to have the car out of the hot sun. Front desk was consistently friendly and housekeeping staff was as well. We will stay again, I really enjoyed the trip.
