Top Nashville Zoo Hotel Reviews

Hyatt House Nashville Downtown/Convention Center

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and friendly staff."

The Gilmore, an AvantStay Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The Gilmore has a natural charm with its enclosed courtyard, cozy fire pits and well appointed suites. Its location in the trendy 12 South area is also a plus."

Hyatt Place Nashville Brentwood

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was friendly and the place was clean."

Harthall Hotel

8/10 Good

"The man at the front desk was incredible, however he was the only worker I saw. I was staying for 1 night as I had an important interview the next morning. Our rooms AC did not work. I called down to front desk 3 times before I went down to ask for assistance (my room was at the end of the hall and was a bit of a hike to get to the front desk) the man let us know he would come check. He came and could not fix it and let us know that he could bring us fans but unfortunately no other rooms were available. It was already 8:30pm and my room was 78 degrees. I was very upset because I knew I would not get sleep in the heat for my interview at 6:30am the next morning. After about an hour of waiting he came up and offered me a new room with an upgrade. I really appreciated this and think it was the perfect way to fix the original issue of the hotel. He was very nice and made the situation much better. I felt bad that he was the only available employee. I would suggest to bring slipper as the rooms are concrete floors."
