Big, cheap downtown hotel. The place has a friendly staff, gross breakfast, stylish and aesthetically pleasing rooms. The room we were in must have not been used frequently because both me and my travel companion had problems with allergies and asthma.

Positives: Friendly service.

Negatives: Dust, and allergies killed me.

Overnight parking in hotel lot was $18. Lobby staff were friendly, and offered recommendations for dining based on the family needs of our group, and provided discounts for a few different hotels. The shuttle service was nice, took us to downtown locations and picked us up after we called the hotel (available until 11p). The free hot breakfast was much better than I expected, very good. Included pancakes, eggs, biscuits and gravy, cereal, fruit, yogurt, and a couple other items. Good experience for my family.

Positives: Comfortable, had friendly staff.

Negatives: HD channels were not working.

Very clean, friendly staff, and excellent location. I liked that the parking was on-site and relatively cheap. Would absolutely recommend for anyone not looking for a luxury hotel.

Positives: Perfect location for Bridgestone Arena and Frist Art Museum.

Negatives: Wireless internet was slow.

Negatives: Had to pay $15 for parking.

The first room they gave us reeked of smoke. I called the front desk and asked for another room (also told them it was ironic that there was a no smoking sign in front of the TV). The second room thankfully did not smell like a bar. Location of the hotel was nice as was the free breakfast bar. The only real gripe I have about this hotel was the parking garage. They charge $14/day to park there, and it's very cramped and difficult to maneuver your car in there. Good luck if you drive an SUV or truck.

Positives: Great location downtown. Updated rooms.

Negatives: Parking garage expensive, small, and not enough spaces.

Negatives: Over priced for rating.

Outside of lady at front desk, I will stay here every time I am in Nashville Downtown!

Positives: Very clean and comfortable, flat screen TV was a nice touch!

Negatives: Lady at the front desk at check in time was pretty unfriendly and overall acted like she hated her life, very unprofessional.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 03 Jul 2008 rated 6 out of 10.

The location is just on the outskirts of what is happening in downtown Nashville. For the price we could not have done better, but the front desk staff could not provide activity advice, restaurant/bar advice, nor were they any help on any occasion we asked questions. The breakfast was great, no reason to leave the hotel and go anywhere else.

Positives: Breakfast bar was fantastic.

Negatives: The front desk staff was unable to provide advice/help on multiple occasions.

I really enjoyed my stay at Holiday Inn. It was my birthday so a few of my friends and<BR/>I stayed there so we could enjoy Nashville because we live about 1 hour south. The hotel was very nice and it was great to have a shuttle bus to take you downtown. I have stayed there 2 other times and I have always enjoyed it.

Positives: I liked that it was close to downtown.

Negatives: I cant think of anything.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sat 31 May 2008 rated 8 out of 10.

In walking distance to Downtown locations. They need to update elevators, ice/vending machines, pool area. No Jacuzzi's. Parking garage cost $14 extra per day with no security guards. Lone travelers feel unsafe.

Positives: Location was great for downtown. Rooms were nice.

Negatives: Parking garage - unsafe, cost $14 daily.

This was a great hotel with a warm and helpful staff. I did not have a chance to eat breakfast, although, the free continental breakfast looked great. The rooms are very nice.

Positives: Very nice room, comfortable bed and linens, extremely clean and up to date.

Negatives: Parking lot.

Good location/breakfast. Nothing for kids to do. Aloof staff.

Positives: Location.

Negatives: Staff.

This was a somewhat dilapidated hotel in an excellent location to the Nashiville music scene. If one does not have the funds to stay at the more glitzy hotels of Downtown Nashville, the holiday inn Downtown is an option. Park elsewhere beforehand though.

Positives: Excellent breakfast buffet.

Negatives: There was a fair bit or remodeling being done. In my opinion, it is already overpriced. More remodeling will just make it even more overpriced.

We really liked the location of the hotel. However, next time we visit we will stay at another hotel close by. The staff was very rude and the lotion and shampoo bottles were only half full. This told us that they did not care enough to even make it look like they weren't used. The breakfast was delicious but again the service was enough to make us not want to return.

Positives: The location was perfect for us and it was fairly clean.

Negatives: The hotel staff was rude and not helpful on more than one occasion.

There were things I really liked about this hotel (location/beds/hot breakfast), but it fell short of my expectations in a few ways. Customer service left something to be desired. When we arrived, we were put in a double bed room and we had previously called to ask for a King. It also just felt like no one that built/managed/owned that hotel ever sat down in a room and thought about what the typical traveler would want. In a town that revolves around tours and show times, there definitely needs to be a clock in the room. A tiny trashcan in the bathroom just didn't cut it. And my biggest pet peeve don't have signs up promoting a service if you aren't going to follow through. In the breakfast area, there was a sign that advertised "Breakfast to go and Trays Available". When I asked for the "to-go" container, I just got a blank stare. When I asked for a tray, the lady told me that they didn't have any.

Positives: Comfy beds and fresh linens. Short walk to downtown. Hot breakfast was nice.

Negatives: No clocks or trashcans in the room. $14/day parking. Employees were not very friendly. Slow elevators. Smelly hallways.

It was comfortable, clean, & in a good location to Downtown. I really enjoyed my bed, it was the biggest bed I've ever seen & it had 6! fluffy and clean pillows and a comfortable amount of bedding to stay nice and warm. I had a wonderful nights sleep.

Positives: The huge monster comfortable bed, plenty of pillows!

Negatives: Needed more coffee pods.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 14 Feb 2008 rated 9 out of 10.

The location was perfect. Close enough Downtown to walk and save taxi fare. The beds and pillows were very comfortable and the room was clean.

Positives: Great, great location!

Negatives: Elevators didn't work the entire weekend.

Hotel was about what was expected. Location was within walking distance of clubs. Good breakfast. Mix up with reservation, however, ruined trip. Belongings were removed from room by hotel staff while we were out. Food was thrown out and some items were not recovered. Eventually straightened out, but still pissed.

Positives: Great location.

Negatives: Had a bad experience. All belongings were removed from room by hotel staff on second day. Food was trashed, and some items were not recovered.
