I think the openings of the garage bother me its like a large mass elevated over a missing base.  I admit it looks better than i thought it would be for such as visible spot man....idk

Agreed. I don’t know if it’s the same company, but there’s a hotel being built in Cool Springs on Bakers Bridge that has a similar design to this one and is looking soooo much better

Too bad the backside doesn’t look a little more like the front side.  However…for a LaQuinta…I guess this is about the best you can get.

I'm totally enjoying this one. Blemishes and all, this geeky chunk of urbanism has been a fun project to watch. The top of the parking garage literally has you half way up. Such a funky mini tower. Great for the area! To steal a phase, #keepNashvilleWeird

Really, really wanted to like this one. And I drive by it multiple times a day....but just can't get there.  Another lost opportunity...sigh....

Ya, this is one of those that looks better farther away.  Still, a cool little project and much needed for that area.

I will give them credit for at least being somewhat creative with the garage.  Some of the garage is actually covered facing the interstate..and the rest of the garage at least has some type of cladding that makes it seem “artistic” compared to concrete.

This turned out much better than anticipated

A few finishing touches that improved it dramatically.
