Comfort Inn Downtown Nashville - Music City Center
Hotel is well located near music row, the Gulch and Downtown. Property is generally clean and maintained on the surface, but under the surface not so much. The front desk staff is is efficient, but not super friendly. Definitely not a Hilton or Hyatt. The free breakfast is pretty good though.
