Food
93- “I had some confusion regarding the breakfast location and I let him know, and he ended up comp-ing our dinner bill which was absolutely above and beyond, but very much appreciated.” 6
- “I ordered a Dream-sicle cocktail to go with dinner. It was fantastic. It tasted like a childhood summer. A refreshing creamy orange drink topped with delicious whipped cream.” 6
Location
96- “A landmark Midtown East hotel where the suites are genuinely spacious, diplomats check in for the unbeatable location, and everyone sleeps better than they do at home.” 11
- “Dream Nashville's location couldn't be more perfect for visitors: The hotel is just blocks from Broadway and all of its famous honky-tonks, as well as top attractions like the Ryman Auditorium, the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, The Johnny Cash Museum and more.” 3
Noise
92Room
87- “But, I totally appreciated it's funk in the hotel room. Our king size bed was AMAZING. For a hotel called Dream - this bed definitely hit the mark. The linens were so soft and smooth. The pillows were plush without being too fluff.” 6

Service

89Value
81- “Rates look good - lowest in the city (of Hyatt) at the moment for dates I looked at.” 9
- “I decided on avocado toast with a poached egg on top, which would normally cost $12. It wasn't the most thrilling thing to look at, but it was tasty with a hint of heat and lime - just enough to fuel up before attending a conference later in the day.” 12

Quotes run exactly as travelers wrote them — spelling and all. We trim for length, never for tidiness.
- “There are downtown Nashville hotels a bit closer to the action of Broadway or the Gulch if that's what you crave; I found the ever-so-slightly removed location to be more of a bonus than a detraction, though.” 12
- “A landmark Midtown East hotel where the suites are genuinely spacious, diplomats check in for the unbeatable location, and everyone sleeps better than they do at home.” 11
- “The hotel is located just a few blocks away from TPAC which made getting to and from the show on a cold night, a relative breeze.” 6
- “However, still happy being at the GH for our first visit to Nashville. There is a Whole Foods almost next door and the lovely Frist Museum across the street plus a short walk to the Ryman and Broadway strip.” 1
- “The hotel cleverly balances proximity to Broadway's energy with quiet nights, especially if you choose a room away from the alley. For visitors who want to be close to the action without sacrificing sleep, this location is a big win.” 17
- “The hotel does operate in somewhat of a downtown purgatory: It's not right in the action of Lower Broadway, but it's also next to Printers Alley ... meaning there is still some rowdiness to be had on the weekends. Those particularly sensitive to noise should book a hotel in a different neighborhood.” 12
- “Dream Nashville's location couldn't be more perfect for visitors: The hotel is just blocks from Broadway and all of its famous honky-tonks, as well as top attractions like the Ryman Auditorium, the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, The Johnny Cash Museum and more.” 3
- “Squarely aimed at weekend couples, much less at anyone requiring reliable housekeeping.” 16
- “As for the service, Southern hospitality abounds at Dream Nashville.” 3
- “This is an urban sanctuary with edge. You get boutique character with hotel-level service.” 17
- “Dream Nashville is a trendy hotel with small rooms near the action of Broadway and Printers Alley. It is well maintained and the staff I interacted with were very pleasant.” 14
- “The front desk team was very kind and gave me a rundown of the hotel at check-in which was much appreciated.” 6
- “Only a few hours after check-out I received an email from the front office manager asking for direct feedback regarding our stay which I absolutely appreciated.” 6

- “Everyone at the hotel was friendly and helpful.” 6
- “Service at Dream Nashville nails that sweet spot between polished and personable. Reviews consistently highlight staff as genuinely friendly and responsive, from a smooth check-in to helpful recommendations on local spots.” 17
- “and then even the elevators had a nice little Nashville theme in here which I really loved so now we're going to check out the rest of the hotel” On camera133:31
- “Service is perfectly friendly and hospitable, but it isn't over the top. There are other hotels in the vicinity if that's what you're looking for.” 12
- “The staff is friendly and more than ready to help point you to the right spot for dinner or dancing.” 12

- “and then walking into the shower really nice look in here some reusable soaps and shampoos” On camera133:02
- “The bed is very comfortable and the bathroom is modern.” 16
- “I hate when hotels do this and no bathtub. Although the suites are large by NY standards, you can really see their age.” 9
- “The bathroom is on the smaller size but functional. The counter space is sparse around the single sink.” 14
- “Plat suite actually has 2 FULL bathrooms (not 1.5). This is excessive. I hate when hotels do this and no bathtub.” 9
- “The bathroom impressed me the most with its large walk-in shower, dual vanity and Karl Lagerfeld amenities.” 12
- “Thompson wasn't cheap -- around $300 a night mid-week -- though half the rate of Holston House, which I guess is the market in Nashville these days, and I'd like to try the well-reviewed Grand Hyatt, but it will be tempting to return to the Thompson.” 1
- “Rates look good - lowest in the city (of Hyatt) at the moment for dates I looked at.” 9
- “I decided on avocado toast with a poached egg on top, which would normally cost $12. It wasn't the most thrilling thing to look at, but it was tasty with a hint of heat and lime - just enough to fuel up before attending a conference later in the day.” 12
- “If you book with points, Grand Hyatt is a little better value as it is a Cat 5 vs the Thompson which is a Cat 6.” 1
- “I find the rooms rather... drab and cheap.” 9
- “The breakfast offering at the Holston House was a little lackluster after the great experiences the two days prior, but the portions were fine, the food was tasty, and it was free with no complaints.” 1
- “The breakfast choices at the Stateside Kitchen were limited, but the variety met everyones needs from a full American Breakfast to Oatmeal with fruit.” 18
- “I really liked the breakfast burrito and the homefries that came with it. As a self-proclaimed cinnamon roll aficionado, I would only rate the cinnamon roll as average. The frosting was delicious but the actual cinnamon roll left me wanting more bread and more moisture.” 6
- “I ordered a Dream-sicle cocktail to go with dinner. It was fantastic. It tasted like a childhood summer. A refreshing creamy orange drink topped with delicious whipped cream.” 6
- “With so much competition, a live music and entertainment theater downstairs, we have a cocktail den with an upright piano, a great restaurant, and really fantastic room product.” On camera150:53

- “Everyone enjoyed the food and our server was most gracious in making accommodations for food and dietary restrictions.” 18
- “The dinner and cocktail were pretty tasty for a hotel restaurant.” 12
- “The dinner and cocktail were pretty tasty for a hotel restaurant. However, the service was removed enough that I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to dine here if I weren't staying in the hotel - a ding on lifestyle hotels built to attract a local audience to their bars and restaurants.” 12
- “The Globalist breakfast is served hot off the menu at the Serafina on the ground floor. I woke up quite late so headed down around 11:30. It was technically a lunch seating, but I ordered off the brunch menu (steak and eggs $39). It was auto-wiped at checkout. Honestly quite good. It's white tablecloth full-service restaurant breakfast.” 9
- “I had some confusion regarding the breakfast location and I let him know, and he ended up comp-ing our dinner bill which was absolutely above and beyond, but very much appreciated.” 6
- “If you aren't looking to party too hard, you'll enjoy the delectable fare served at Stateside Kitchen and Natura Nashville restaurants, both of which are on-site.” 3
- “Stateside is the hotel's main restaurant and was open and airy with a huge glass ceiling. Black and white tile flooring is paired with light wood and light blue decor. It has a much brighter and airier vibe than the rest of the hotel, and I loved it.” 6
- “The breakfast at the Thompson was amazing, and very good at the Grand - the lounge wasn't yet open there when we visited, I don't know if that's changed since.” 1
- “Just checked out Monday. Just came from the Thompson and I was really impressed -- with the decor, room, front desk service, coffee bar, and Marsh House (the rooftop bar wasn't great).” 1
- “I absolutely appreciated how thick the curtains were and that they let in minimal light to the room when the sun came up.” 6
- “The decor is chic and well-maintained four years into the hotel's debut in one of the country's top tourist destinations.” 12
- “Oh, the Thompson did charge us for taking something from the minibar, which we didn't do. Can't remember if my husband ever got that fixed. Did not sully our impression of the place.” 1
- “An innovative hybrid hotel with spacious rooms that feel like one-bedroom apartments.” 11
- “The room stays very cool from a strong AC system.” 14
- “The room had dark jewel tone colors, dark trim, and black and white striped accents - like a black and white striped shower which I thought was very fun. Would I want it in my home? No. But, I totally appreciated it's funk in the hotel room.” 6
- “With so much competition, a live music and entertainment theater downstairs, we have a cocktail den with an upright piano, a great restaurant, and really fantastic room product.” On camera150:53
- “While I found the colorful decor and furniture to be a strong suit, those searching for a more minimalist vibe should probably look elsewhere.” 12
- “this is a very very stunning room I really loved all the stylings it really had a good sense of place it really made me feel like I was in Nashville they had some cool art on the wall and as you can see they had one little Special Touch in the room that I think really brought it all together” On camera130:37
- “In that vein, the view from our room was pretty non-existent, unless you have voyeuristic tendencies and want to look into other hotel rooms.” 6
- “so I got 1127 here this is a one-bedroom Sweden is absolutely gigantic this is one of the nicest Hiatt Centrics that I've stayed at” On camera130:27

- “Accommodations here have been described as comfortable by guests, especially the beds, and each room is outfitted with a 55-inch smart flat-screen TV, free Wi-Fi, luxury bath amenities by C.O. Bigelow and a fully stocked minibar.” 3
- “But, I totally appreciated it's funk in the hotel room. Our king size bed was AMAZING. For a hotel called Dream - this bed definitely hit the mark. The linens were so soft and smooth. The pillows were plush without being too fluff.” 6
- “You get boutique character with hotel-level service. You get proximity to live music and Broadway, but also surprisingly quiet nights.” 17
- “And while the hotel is well situated it is much more quiet than hotels right on or closer to Broadway. Everyone had peaceful and quiet nights sleep.” 18
- “Printers Alley is directly behind the Dream. I couldn't hear any noise in my room, but some rooms might be noisy because of it.” 14
- “The mattress was an absolute dream (see what I did there). I slept so soundly and didn't wake up until 8:45am, which is definitely not the norm for me!” 6
- “Many guests rave about the bed comfort (often noticing just how supportive and plush it is) and thoughtful bathroom design.” 17
- “The bed is very comfortable and the bathroom is modern.” 16
- “The comfortable bed has high quality linens, it is not a duvet cover; it is the dreaded flat sheet sandwich.” 14
