Really good singer songwriter writer venue in the bar / restaurant that is somewhat unknown to most visitors to Nashville. Every night too. Seriously, it is good. I talked to several of them at the bar.
And rooms are updated and clean. Staff is friendly and helpful.
They also have a free shuttle buss to Broadway departing every 30 minutes.

PLEASE DO NOT BOOK HERE. We were told our total would be $439 for two nights, including taxes and fees, but when it came time to pay, we were charged $600 instead. The lady at the front desk refused to show us the total and even tried to hide the final amount when processing the payment. This was extremely unprofessional and dishonest. Please double-check your charges before paying to avoid being overcharged like we were.
