Because it's directly connected to the Nashville Convention Center, this large, modern hotel is often filled with conventioneers and consequently can feel crowded and chaotic. However, it does offer all the expected luxuries. The king rooms (especially the corner kings, which have huge bathrooms) are a better choice than rooms with two beds, which are a bit cramped. However, whichever style room you choose, you'll at least have a comfortable wingback chair in which to relax, and walls of glass let in plenty of light. The upper floors offer additional amenities, including a concierge, private lounge, bathrobes, express checkout, complimentary continental breakfast and evening hors d'oeuvres, and evening turndown service. The Commerce Street Grille, located off the lobby, serves American fare in a sort of Southern-plantation setting. In the greenhouse-like sky bridge you'll find a lounge deli, where Krispy Kreme donuts and Starbucks coffee are available each morning.
