Holiday Inn Express Nashville Downtown - Broadway by IHG

Holiday Inn Express Nashville Downtown - Broadway by IHG

8/10 Good
"We had chose this hotel for our vacation because of the price and for us it was excellent value. It was far enough away from the noise of the busy broadway street but close enough to walk the entire street without issues. Close to other amenities, and easy to get a Lyft for events further away. Our room could have been a bit cleaner and we got a room that hadn’t been renovated yet but no issues. The breakfast was always good and different choices daily. Highly recommend for those with a budget."
