"For a quieter, hip, and affordable stay in East Nashville, I like this three-star spot: the lobby café serves diner-inspired breakfasts and then drinks and bar bites in the evening, and there’s a cool rooftop cocktail bar with DJ nights. They offer a wide variety of rooms (standard rooms, bunk-bed rooms, and suites with kitchenettes), all with floor-to-ceiling windows, writing desks, and local artwork; the minibar is stocked with local snacks, and the tiled bathrooms are roomy with walk-in showers and high-quality bath products. It’s a simple yet stylish and budget-friendly choice." - Matthew Kepnes
