Hyatt Place Nashville Downtown
Room was very clean, Housekeeping staff is great. Breakfast was nice, good coffee. Fun bartender and very welcoming staff at front desk. Room location was not so good. Close to Broadway but VERY noisy all through the night with sirens constantly, big trucks, honking, yelling!
