Read it your way
The Sheraton Grand Nashville Downtown is a high-rise hotel offering comfortable bedding and convenient access to downtown music spots. Guests appreciate the speedy bell staff, fast premium Wi-Fi, and skyline views from the library bar. However, the bathrooms feel extremely cramped with weak water pressure and small tub combos. The hotel also lacks a full sit-down restaurant for dinner, and traffic noise can reach rooms facing the interstate. 143186

Service13 mentions
- “Because of my SPG Gold status, I was able to check in at the elite desk, but other than having a designated reception area, the perks here weren't nearly as lucrative as I would have liked.” 14
- “I booked for my wife and mother in law to stay at the Hyatt Holston House which she said was nice, got a great deal with BA Hols 2 years ago.” 16
- “31st July 2025 at 17:17 #812918 #812918 nico27 7 posts Hi - looking to go to Nashville in May for 6 days with other half - any hotels to recommend? We enjoyed the Virgin Hotel in Nashville - good location, friendly service and comfortable rooms.” 16
- “Major areas that need to be addressed here include the service, lack of proper restaurants and vending machines and, of course, the faulty fire alarm system.” 14
- “After going back and forth a bit, I was offered compensation that was satisfactory and showed that the staff did care about this unpleasant occurrence - two free nights (a value of about $440) and 10,000 Starpoints, not bad!” 14
- “Our neighbors had ordered breakfast, and I noticed the tray was still sitting in the hallway later that evening, a simple thing that should have been taken care of by housekeeping much sooner than that.” 14
- “ndly, but very accommodating while performing the pick-ups and drop-offs. It was nice to ride around Music City in the brand-new Mercedes-Benz "limo bus." Between this and Uber, there was no need for me to rent a car during my five-night stay.” 14
- “As soon as I pulled up, the bell staff were right there to assist me with my luggage. This same amount of speediness also applied the other times I entered the hotel, and each time, a staff member opened the doors and welcomed me back.” 14
- “Bath and hand towels were replaced daily, and housekeeping was very quick to respond when I called for extra towels late at night.” 14
- “Unfortunately, in the main lobby and entrance area, the service seemed nonexistent - guests have to either go up to the front desk or to the outside bell desk for assistance since there's no dedicated concierge area.” 14
- “Hands down, my favorite part of staying at this hotel was taking its complimentary shuttle service for a spin - anywhere within a 10-mile radius, that is (unfortunately, this doesn't include the airport).” 14
- “Housekeeping wasn't very impressive throughout my stay - the sheets, even at check-in, didn't seem to be pressed and were actually quite wri” 14
- “The two-pearl GuestHouse Inn & Suites Nashville/Music City is a budget-friendly hotel with 184 spacious rooms offering mini-fridges, microwaves, and coffeemakers. However, rooms have dark decor, budget furnishings need updating, and past guests report various housekeeping and maintenance issues.” 6
Food9 mentions
- “Surprisingly, the hotel didn't offer a full sit-down restaurant for lunch or dinner. While it was a blessing in disguise (as downtown Nashville offers a wide variety of delicious restaurants), a large hotel near the Convention Center should know that many guests prefer to dine in-house after a long day.” 14
- “Though I didn't have room service on this trip, the menu was extensive but only offered food until 11:00pm, so don't expect to have your late-night snack cravings fulfilled at 3:00am.” 14
- “I had one meal in the bar - lunch before check-out - and was not disappointed with the service or the quality of the food. The grilled chicken sandwich, served with french fries, and the chicken caesar salad were both tasty and came out in about 10 minutes.” 14
- “The sitting area had a comfortable (but small) blue lounge chair, along with a sleek (and, again, small) white coffee table.” 14
- “Major areas that need to be addressed here include the service, lack of proper restaurants and vending machines and, of course, the faulty fire alarm system.” 14
- “The Library restaurant offers affordable dining, and rooms feature comfortable beds.” 18
- “All ground arrangements were through Audley Travel who are highly recommended. She stayed in the Loews Vanderbilt Hotel for 3 nights in Nashville and found it very convenient for using local transport, dining, venues and tours.” 16
- “The Library restaurant menu has impressive prices.” 18
- “As I mentioned before, the elevators need to be spruced up. The sign inside one of them directs guests to the Speaker's Bistro on the second floor, and after further investigation, I found out this was the name of the hotel's old restaurant.” 14
Room10 mentions
- “Travelers remarked that the modern decor and personalized service made the 482-room hotel feel like a boutique property.” 3
- “While the room provides only 338-square-feet of space, it felt neither small nor cramped.” 14
- “The room also featured a 47-inch flatscreen TV, which at times froze while I was watching the news; I took this as a sign of bad cable reception.” 14
- “The business center was located in the lobby area, although I didn't need to visit it because the in-room Wi-Fi was so efficient.” 14
- “Bed had luxury linens and the room on the 19th floor was quiet.” 18
- “I wasn't surprised to see that the paintings in the room displayed above the beds represented some of the city's history and added a homey, nostalgic feeling.” 14
- “Its 113 guest rooms are clean and comfortable, though decor is bland, and they're equipped with coffeemakers, microwaves, and mini-fridges.” 6
- “The desk area was connected to the dresser, which offered a great amount of space to put my personal items.” 14
- “The upper-middle-range Loews Vanderbilt Hotel Nashville is a classy hotel that's fresh from an extensive 2013 renovation. Its 340 rooms are spacious and feature stylish decor that's sophisticated, while still paying homage to the city's country music roots.” 6
- “The 341 guest rooms are clean and comfortable, with rich, pleasing decor.” 6
Value4 mentions
- “But the resort's sheer size can make it confusing and daunting to simply get around. It's certainly not for everyone, and it's not inexpensive, with often-hefty room rates, daily resort fees, and pricey parking.” 6
- “Hilton is fine, BW was ok too, all expensive and you shouldn't be spending too much time in the room hopefully.” 16
- “But, as with many Nashville hotels in and around downtown, rates are expensive, as is the valet-only parking.” 6
- “Rates are expensive, however, especially for a hotel outside of the downtown area.” 6
Location6 mentions
- “Downtown's best midrange pick for its prime location near Honky Tonk Row and smart weekend rates.” 8
- “Recent guests said Southern hospitality is alive and well at the Sheraton Grand Nashville Downtown.” 3
- “Many other attractions are close by as well, and a free downtown shuttle enhances the convenience.” 6
- “The DoubleTree by Hilton Nashville-Downtown is a mid-range chain hotel with an enviable location, just two minutes from the Music City Convention Center.” 6
- “Hyatt Centric Downtown. Walking distance to Broadway and the all points of interest around there, but not so close as to being annoying and loud. Good breakfast.” 16
- “Hyatt Centric Downtown. Walking distance to Broadway and the all points of interest around there, but not so close as to being annoying and loud.” 16
Bathroom4 mentions
- “The bathroom felt extremely cramped since the combination shower/tub was quite small.” 14
- “While the bathroom was very clean, sleek, modern and well organized, the shampoo, conditioner and lotion amenities were unremarkable.” 14
- “The bathroom felt extremely cramped since the combination shower/tub was quite small. The water pressure was weak as well.” 14
- “The bathroom's strange, vertical wallpaper was overpowered by the bright - and very yellow - lights.” 14
Noise3 mentions
- “Be aware that the hotel is on a heavily trafficked street, and rooms facing the interstate pick up some road noise, although it's not excessive.” 6
- “Made for music-loving weekend travelers, and not for those expecting seamless facility maintenance.” 18
- “After dedicating so much time and money to renovating the property, it seems that they somehow missed the elevator, as the buttons and the general aesthetic inside seemed outdated.” 14
View1 mention
- “Located a short way from Wrigley Building, this 34-storey hotel has a sauna, a sunbathing terrace, and a shared lounge and offers a spectacular view over skyline.” 10
Bed & Sleep1 mention
- “The bedding, however, was comfortable and made for a great night's sleep.” 14
