Top Historic Downtown Franklin Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place Nashville Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Convenient location. Music in the lobby in the evening was great!"

Drury Plaza Hotel Nashville Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is excellent! I was excited to go for a run on the treadmill when I saw they were on the eighth floor placed by the windows with the view of the bridge and River. Awesome…. When it came time for a good run, my disappointment couldn’t have be worst. Each treadmill has a tv mounted right in your face. There is no view to enjoy on your run! I hope you will appreciate that I left the gym before I smashed the built-in screens to pieces"

Placemakr Premier SoBro

10/10 Excellent

"Great place, bigger than I thought, minimally stocked but enough. Can be noisy with sirens and parties but wasn’t disruptive. Handy vending machines off lobby. Parking convenient but could have benefitted from more info about it prior to check in. Would stay again so convenient to many things."
