Hyatt Place Nashville Downtown
The hotel was the perfect location if you want to be just two blocks off of lower Broadway. This is very convenient for walking however, you will also hear the music in your room, especially on the higher floors like we did when there was an outdoor concert on the Friday night. We had a great time ...

Great location only a few blocks from all the action on Broadway. Really nice room, full size apartment. Rooftop pool and hot tub were great. Nice restaurant on the ground floor. Would definitely stay here again.

Comfort Inn Downtown Nashville - Music City Center
Hotel is well located near music row, the Gulch and Downtown. Property is generally clean and maintained on the surface, but under the surface not so much. The front desk staff is is efficient, but not super friendly. Definitely not a Hilton or Hyatt. The free breakfast is pretty good though.
