We stayed here for 2 nights over Labor Day weekend, on our first trip to Nashville. A+++! We are boutique hotel junkies and SBGH is top-notch.
Excellent location - Next door to Martin's BBQ and within easy walking distance of the Broadway scene -- Ryman Auditorium, Country Music Hall of Fame, Tootsies, Robert's Western World, Ernest Tubb's Record Shop, Luigi's Pizza, George Jones' Bar, and more. 10-min walk to Printer's Alley (Skull Room, Bourbon St. Blues, Fleet Street British Pub), if you want to get away from the hordes of drunken bachelorettes in pedal wagons.
Hi-Tech Check-In Process -- This was our 1st experience with virtual check-in/virtual concierge and we LOVE it. It's a paradigm shift. Instead of a front desk, SBGH sends texts/emails to communicate status information and exterior/interior door access codes. At check-in time (4:00 pm), we received a well thought out series of texts and emails that provided all the info we needed to stay at the hotel.
Accommodations are well-appointed, urban chic, Ikea-inspired 1BR efficiencies with kitchenettes, laundry and a superb bath/shower. The beds sleep like a dream -- comfy, cozy, lots of pillows.
Our favorite part: the thoughtful soap/shampoo dispensers and he Bigelow soap/shampoo product -- a cut well above standard hotel fare.
Staff -- The staff at SBGH is aces. Everyone -- the GM, Assistant GM and the housekeepers went out of their way to ensure our stay was comfortable, fun, and safe. It's clear they are proud to be a part of everything Nashville has to offer and they enjoy sharing their knowledge with visitors. They really made us feel at home in Music City.
For travelers seeking a small, upscale lodging experience in a safe urban environment, we highly recommend SBGH. The 24-room size of the hotel - less is definitely more -- is a key differentiator for those who want a memorable stay in Nashville.
