TopGolf Marriott Dual Brand Hotel, 14 stories, 190 rooms; 7 story, 250 unit residential building, $80 million

[markhollin]

Skyline Hospitality (which owns the adjacent TopGolf entertainment complex) is going to build a 15 story dual-branded Marriott featuring Courtyard by Marriott (92 rooms) and Fairfield Inn & Suites (88 rooms), plus a restaurant, 7 story high-end residential building with 250 units, restaurant, and 600 car garage on the NW corner of Jefferson St. and Cowan St. on the East Bank.   The hotel is slated to be open by 2020, with the residential portion perhaps a year later.  

The development will be just to the SE of TopGolf, and share the same entrance off of Cowan St. It will serve as a gateway of sorts to the River North development, even though they are not associated. 

Preliminary designs are underway, and no renderings are available yet. 

Skyline Hospitality shares investors who are also involved with Skyline Hampton Inn at Skyline Medical Center, City Lights on Rutledge Hill, and Poston at the Park in West End Park.

I am glad its not the same suburban BS we have been getting in the past.

[wmaddbb2018]

Will it be condos or apartments?

Sounds promising. Just got home from Top golf and was really impressed by the facility. They have a lot going on there. They do need more surrounding it however.

That would probably be the case with river north.

They had better build this building on stilts as it was flooded in 2010.

With that expected opening in 2020, what is the general consensus as to when this will begin?

[urbanplanet17]

If the cloth lined barrier is in place, I suspect that means groundbreaking is "imminent."

[tokiorose]

Any word on this?

Noooo... No more hotels. I was hoping   Trump's Steel and Aluminum Tariffs would stop any new projects. UGH!!!

[volsfanwill]

We need more hotels to meet the demand.

Yeah,  but if they stop building them, then people would stay home or go somewhere else. That's my theory.

This hotel is going to have to step things up if they plan to compete with Stadium Inn and Knights Inn. Those two are legends.

Not to get far off topic, but since it's relative to that part of the city: Do travelers and out-of-town vacationers really stay at the Stadium Inn? Or has it really become more like cheap, temporary housing for locals? I'd be embarrassed to think that a family from out of town would check into the Stadium Inn and think that's somehow representative of our lodging here.

I would love for my family and friends to be able to afford the room rates downtown instead of staying with me when they come to visit.

Anyone who looks at Trip Advisor or other online review sites would NOT book these hotels.

Two frightening thoughts: 1. At least one person reviewed  Stadium Inn as "very good." 2. There are three "inns" in Nashville that rank worse on Trip Advisor.

How in the world is that place profitable? And why wouldn't the owner just sell and make a small fortune on the land sale?

I drove Uber for a couple of months back in 2016.  I picked up a young lady at the airport and she gave me the address she was going to...so I followed the directions and when I got off the interstate, I realized we were headed to Knights Inn.  I pulled up and the look on her face was pure fear.  I said, "Is this the right place?"  She said, "Yeah...but I figured as much as it costs, it would have to be better than how it looked online."  I asked her if she wanted me to take her somewhere else, but she said it was non-refundable since she arrived so late.  She got her luggage and started walking off and looked back at me with a look of "save me."  I felt bad driving off.

Gets worse

^^^ Those reviews are about what I expected. Interesting that one person described the area as "sketchy-ish." Yes, that area is "sketchy-ish" mostly because of the Stadium Inn. 

It's a matter of time before the influence of places like Top Golf and the new Marriott dual-brand hotel spread toward the Stadium Inn. Surely its days are numbered.

[smeagolsfree]

I think the Stadium Inn is probably paid for many times over and the owner does not put one cent into the hotel from the way it seems unless absolutely needed, like a broken toilet, window, or AC, etc.

At some point someone will make him an offer he cant refuse.

You mean a condemnation notice from Metro?

And there's this too

If they get numerous police calls, they can be shut down as a public nuisance and padlocked.
