Sheraton Grand Nashville Downtown
Room we stayed had no windows. Very clostofobic... Felt like we were in a storage room. Hair dryer did not work either. Shower door would not stay closed. After complaining about all this the next day, we received 2 free coffee stamps at the front desk. Not very happy. 2 stars for being clean.
