10/10 Excellent
"The hotels front reception staff and porters were so helpful when we arrived and departed. The hotel itself was fabulous- beds were very comfortable and rooms were clean and spacious. The pool bar was lovely and the bar staff here were all really friendly. The only minor criticism was the housekeeping knocking on the door at 8.30 am both mornings - not ideal after your night in Nashville and forgetting to leave towels but soon resolved when we contacted reception. We loved the location- 15 walk to Broadway, £5 uber back. Nice bar as well downstairs. Great stay and would highly recommend to others who want to experience Nashville but stay in a calmer stylish area. Thank you to the great friendly team here."

10/10 Excellent
"Loved the complete breakfast served every morning! They offered valet parking for $54 a night, which I thought was a little steep. We ended up parking in the street beside the hotel, which was free. They might have offered other options for parking. The room, esp. the large spacious shower was amazing, and the fitness center was almost a full gym, very clean and well kept! Didn't experience the pool..water was a little murky but saw other people enjoying it. Overall, a very good value for the money and would definitely stay there again!"
