Vista Inn & Suites Hermitage

One star is generous. The roof kept us dry. Furniture was falling apart. I think an Indian nail bed would feel more comfortable than the cement beds we slept on.
When we pulled in, we saw someone cooking on a portable little grill in the driveway and a dozen kids running around in the parking area.
The «executive» breakfast is a joke, unless you really like waffles with no syrup or butter. One coffee pot and never full. Overall, it was dingy and dank and it does not help when the manager can not speak English well.

This place was no-​good. As another reviewer said, the whole place is dingy. The sheets were clearly clean and laundry-​smelling, but they were stained and old and just no good. The pillows were insanely lumpy and sparse (only 3 for a king bed) and the comforter looked sinister. The carpet was dingy, old, stained, and our couch had old cigarette burns on it. The comforter had a cig burn, as well. The hotel is non-​smoking but the stench still lingers in the paint and the carpets. The bathroom was OK clean but could use some sprucing up. The water flow of the shower was nice and at least there was a flatscreen TV. Refrigerator and microwave in the standard room were nice touches, especially for the few beers we wanted chilled while we were hanging out.
Decent Mexican restaurant right in the same parking lot, so worth a go if you’re hungry and don’t feel like driving anywhere. The $ 59 price tag per night was NOT WORTH IT for the quality of this place, but the front desk service was nice and quick. The continental breakfast didn’t seem worth staying for, so we went up the road to Starbucks and got something in the drive-​thru before going on our way. Only 20 minutes from downtown Nashville and about 10 from The Hermitage, so it’s not the worst place to stay if you find yourself on a serious budget (although $ 60 is expensive) and in need of a hotel room for a night.
This exchange between my husband and the night desk clerk pretty much sums up what this hotel is all about:
Hubs (calling desk): Hi, I’m in room 126. Would it be possible to get an extra pillow?
Desk Clerk: Hold on a second, I’ll go see if I have one in the back.
(on hold for one minute)
DC: No pillows, but I have a couch cushion.
H: No, thanks.

It’s relatively clean. If you don’t mind fresh smelling sheets that are stained. The room has a general clean appearance. The bathroom and toilet has tons of stains all over them. I brought colorox wipes and cleaned everything and still feel a little icky. The towels are all stained. I used my own.
The grossest thing I saw was a snot under the covers. GROSS. GROSS. GROSS. I pulled out my beach towels and slept on top of them.
They are trying to provide a decent motel for a decent price, but I would advise going somewhere else. I have been out looking around and will be leaving as soon as I can secure something else.
Some shady characters hanging around the parking lot talking on cell phones and drinking beer all night.
If you don’t mind what I just wrote, give it a try. If it bothers you, look elsewhere.

The hotel was about half full, with a lot of rooms. It was a non-​smoking hotel, but there was a twinge of smoke smell in my room. Continental breakfast was there, but no fresh fruit and we had to make our own coffee. Wi-​fi quality was actually pretty good!
