The verdict

The hotel delivers dependable amenities like an indoor pool with an outdoor sun deck and a generous free breakfast with made to order omelets. However, its close proximity to Fourth Avenue South means street noise and honky-tonk music can disrupt sleep late into the night. Some guests also encounter poor water pressure and dark lighting in the showers. 132155

Quotes run exactly as travelers wrote them — spelling and all. We trim for length, never for tidiness.
- “The spacious suites are a standout, offering more room than most downtown hotels. Its skybridge access to the convention center makes it especially convenient for business travelers.” On camera40:41
- “Safe front door access at night adds peace of mind. The controlled entry creates a sense of security, especially in a bustling downtown area.” 13
- “My personal favorite is the Marriott Airport. It's an easy jaunt down the interstate to downtown or down Briley parkway to Opryland if you still want to check all that out without having to deal with it daily. It's up on a hill, set apart from traffic.” 3
- “The maxwell house hotel is always a great deal and only 3 miles from downtown. They have a shuttle that drops you one block from Bridgestone, it's an older hotel but clean and quiet” 14
- “From the warm atmosphere to the unbeatable location, the Hampton in and Suites Nashville Airport is your perfect home away from home.” On camera11:30
- “Recently stayed at the Downtown Hilton. Location is great but the music from Broadway can keep you awake if you aren't out partying late.” 15
- “The downtown Nashville Embassy Suites was the best hotel I've ever stayed in personally. Loved the rooms, location, layout, and hotel food/drink options.” 15
- “#4 Loews Vanderbilt, is a high end luxury hotel, but I think it's a little 'stiff'. I wouldn't even feel comfortable walking around in torn jeans there. Worse, I think they'd feel less comfortable than me if I did that. It's very close to downtown and great restaurants.” 3
- “we were about one block from that so it was a perfect location because we were two blocks from Broadway and one block from Bridgestone we had a concert on that second night it was so easy to walk both there and then back because it was very close and then being two blocks from Broadway was very nice” On camera56:21
- “If you're looking for something downtown, I would say the Renaissance, due to its proximity to everything.” 3

- “The Hilton is great - cannot beat the location for Broadway, Bridgestone Arena, etc.” 15
- “I also like Union Station, a few blocks away, which is an old train station converted into a hotel. It has lovely stain-glass throughout.” 3

- “My personal favorite is the Marriott Airport. It's an easy jaunt down the interstate to downtown or down Briley parkway to Opryland if you still want to check all that out without having to deal with it daily. It's up on a hill, set apart from traffic. The staff is wonderful.” 3
- “The only one that I would add to the list is Hotel Indigo which is centrally located and frequently has excellent music in the evenings.” 3
- “there was no Lighting in the bedrooms or the hotel rooms there was three lamps and then like the hallway light but for a big room with two King beds the two lamps at the bed and than one on the desk was just not enough even with the window open it seemed too dark so I would like more Lighting in there typically I love brightness” On camera510:18

- “The spacious suites are a standout, offering more room than most downtown hotels.” On camera40:41
