All staff was very hospitable! Clean sheets. Very comfortable beds and pillows. Room could use a little dusting and possibly mopping on the bathroom corners but we could not complain about this stay. Well-equipped gym, which we used and enjoyed. Their restaurant, called “the drawing room”, offers a nice menu - try the carpaccio and house cocktails - they’re delicious! Coffee shop at Lobby level. This hotel connects to the Westin so there are plenty of lounging places if you need a rest. Either hot tea or a chilled infused fruit-water awaits you in the lobby as you depart from or arrive to your room each night. Complimentary shuttle service offered by the Tennessean (first come, first serve) within a couple miles of the hotel, which was incredibly helpful! Old City and Downtown were walkable, which included many restaurants and little shops…and the farmers market! Highly recommend this hotel and their team! They are a 4 diamond hotel and we’re just awarded a Michelin star!

Hotel was nice overall. Our room was spacious and clean. Valet service was slow upon arrival, but friendly service once they appeared. Not necessarily the hotel’s fault, but loud talking neighbors at night did detract from stay.

Dad/daughter road trip stop

This hotel is wonderful. Staff was amazing and went out of their way to help us with restaurants, beverages and transportation to the restaurant via golf cart on a rainy evening. I would give it six stars. Only downside was pillows are a bit poofy so if you like a flatter pillow then bring your own.
