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

The room was extremely clean. The only suggestion I would make; I would put more lighting on each of the floors.
