Arrival was a bit tricky since the door code didn’t work initially, so I had to call for assistance. It took only about ten minutes to get sorted out, and the support team was very responsive.

I was truly impressed with the cleanliness and exceptional service at Hayes Street Hotel Nashville. The staff were incredibly friendly and always willing to help, making our stay very comfortable. The only downside was the noticeable noise from the air conditioning unit and some loud construction sounds during the night, which slightly disrupted our sleep. That said, I understand these are factors beyond the hotel’s control. Overall, the location is excellent, the room was well-maintained, and the value for money was fantastic. I’d definitely consider staying here again.

I booked a stay at CozySuites Music Row for August 8–11, 2025, and was seriously disappointed by the lack of basic comfort and service. The air conditioning never cooled the room below 79°F, making it extremely uncomfortable to sleep in—especially during the Nashville heat. Water pressure was consistently weak throughout the entire stay, affecting both showers and kitchen use. To make matters worse, the garage opener was missing entirely; the platform admitted it was 'on order' and instructed us to manually open the garage, which was inconvenient and unsafe. Despite paying for a noon check-in, access instructions were delayed until after that time, leaving us stranded outside the unit. I reached out multiple times with concerns, but received only repeated apologies—with no real action taken, no repairs, no relocation, and no resolution. We ended up spending three nights in unacceptable conditions, which completely undermined the experience. This was a failure to deliver on the most basic expectations promised at booking. For the price paid, this was not just disappointing—it was a waste of time and money. Not recommended.
I’ve stayed at Holiday Inn Express locations all over, and they’re always reliable—exactly why I keep choosing them. This one in downtown Nashville, right near Broadway, is no exception. The location is fantastic—walkable to restaurants, bars, and live music venues. Rooms are clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, with a nice balance of functionality and style. What really stands out is the value: great amenities, consistent service, and a price that doesn’t disappoint. If you’re visiting Nashville and want a no-fuss, dependable stay in a vibrant area, this hotel delivers every time.
Every aspect of The Bankers Alley Hotel was exceptional—from the moment we walked in, the attention to detail was clear. The room was spacious, clean, and beautifully designed with modern touches that made it feel like a true home away from home. Location-wise, it's unbeatable; just a short walk to downtown Nashville’s best restaurants, shops, and music venues. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay memorable, always friendly and attentive without being overbearing. I’ve already booked my next visit before even leaving—this hotel truly stands out in every way. If you're looking for a stylish, well-located, and genuinely welcoming place to stay in Nashville, this is it.
This place was a real gem! The value for money was outstanding—clean, stylishly decorated, and just plain welcoming. My only concern was the parking situation. Extra parking was located down a narrow alley, and it wasn’t clear whether I needed to pay the host for a reserved spot or if access was free. There didn’t seem to be enough spaces, which made me a little anxious. Luckily, I managed to park on the street, but it wasn’t ideal. Still, overall, I couldn’t be happier with my stay. I wish we’d booked a longer visit—this place would’ve been perfect for a weekend getaway or even a week-long retreat. Just add some outdoor furniture to that balcony, and it’d be an absolute dream for morning coffee or sunset views.
