The Nashville Reserve, by Oliver

We heard that the hotel is a former bank, and the architecture seems to support this. It has concrete floors throughout, and seems well fortified. There are no keys at all; entry to the building and to the guest rooms is by punching in a six-digit code, which one receives by email before check-in. The main entrance to the hotel is on the second floor, as it is on a hill. However, the elevator has a star next to the first-floor button, suggesting that one exits from that floor. The only exit on the first floor leads to the parking lot. It's not possible to walk out from the parking lot, since a heavy, tall metal gate blocks egress. The first time I left the hotel, I used the parking-lot exit by mistake, and was unable to get back in with the code. Only by calling the hotel (and being routed to a call center) did I figure out how to re-enter. I was confusing my reservation code (also a number, but only 4 digits) with my entry code. To avoid this confusion, I would recommend that the hotel switch to alphabetic codes for reservations; then it would be clear that one should not try to use that code at the keypad. The rooms (apartments, actually) are quite large, with full refrigerators and stoves, and separate bedrooms. They were very clean. We found that the wifi was badly overloaded in the evening. It was difficult to get on, and we frequently got knocked off. The corners on the bed were sharp; it would've been easy to run into them and bruise your shin. I pulled the comforter over them to be on the safe side. The tub wall was quite high; this could be a danger especially for an older person. The water pressure was not very high, either, which made it take longer to rinse oneself off. My room was very quiet. No noise at all, other than one siren over the three-day period. Despite the glitches, it was a good value for the money.

Everything was wonderful!

Everything

The industrial design of the building and the condo was amazing. Very modern and up to date. Was three blocks from Broadway and an easy walk to the main bars and event places in downtown area. Was also close to the Capital Building.

Food could be ordered/delivered but the restaurants were 5+ blocks away. Not a problem in the daytime, but at night the walk was pretty dark to the events we went to. I guess we could have driven, but then finding parking could be an issue.

It was clean, spacious, and close walking distance to Broadway.

We had some issues with the keypad the first day, but the staff was right there and provided us a new one which worked.
