Holiday Inn Express Nashville Downtown - Broadway by IHG
Love location and rooms are always nice. Only issue this time was that there was no hot water in the sink and the shower would ‘sing’ the entire time showering which is not ideal for the people trying to sleep in the adjoining rooms. Our room did that as well as the neighboring room

Hyatt Place Nashville Downtown
Our room was spotless and very comfortable for our 3 night stay. The hotel is within walking distance of everything we wanted to do in Nashville. The breakfast was fabulous and every staff member greeted us and was so kind & helpful. We lived the indoor pool too
