Top Historic Downtown Franklin Hotel Reviews

Comfort Inn Downtown Nashville - Music City Center

8/10 Good

"Great location 20 min walk to the boardway Parking on site great pool good breakfast snd ama ing staff"

Holiday Inn Express Nashville Downtown - Broadway by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel! Really clean and walking distance to so many sights. We were there for a concert and it was a 5 min walk to Bridgestone Arena. Far enough away from the lights and sounds of lower Broadway but still just a short walk to everything. Staff were VERY friendly and so helpful. Breakfast was great…several things to choose from and well stocked throughout the morning. Valet parking was fast. I would advise buying the parking package when you book, it makes it’s so much easier. Would absolutely stay here again and recommend to others."

Placemakr Premier SoBro

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay was wonderful! Parking was easy to find, the parking garage takes you straight to the lobby, and the location is minutes from Broadway and Bridgestone. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and the room was exceptionally clean. We loved the modern, minimalist style. Would absolutely stay here again!"

Kasa Capitol Hill Downtown Nashville

10/10 Excellent

"Apartment was amazing. Spacious, clean and the air conditioning was blowing cold during our stay and was a nice relief during a hot Nashville day. Kitchen had everything we needed and the washer and dryer is a nice bonus. Building and foyer well kept and the area is clean and very close to Broadway."

Virgin Hotels Nashville

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is fantastic, not exactly family friendly, but I had a feeling going into it and we made do. Kids were able to use the pool on Monday morning between 8-11am which helped. Outside of that, place is great, the peephole on the barn door looking into the bathroom is a funny voyeuristic touch."
