He left the room at for lunch and when he returned later that day, his laptop had been stolen from his room. Somebody had accessed the room us http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hilton_Nashville_Downtown/r646146 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hilton_Nashville_Downtown/r609368 Well, this is supposedly a four-star hotel, and I'm not sure I'd put it in that class. There were a few things that I found off. Black scuff marks on the wallpaper, on two different walls, and more marks on one of the bathroom doors. Cobwebs in the bathroom. One of the sliding closet doors was messed up, and slide off it's tracks the first time I opened it. I couldn't get it back on myself.. and just left it off and open (I did not call maintenence to have it fixed). The ironing board was a bit hard to access, if you had clothes hanging, which we did. Also, there was only about a foot or two between the closet and one of the beds - very tight. True, these are relatively minor things, but if I'm paying over * dollars a night, I expect a room to be a bit cleaner than this one was. I've stayed in cheaper hotels that were nicer! The staff was great, and helpful. We had breakfast there one morning, and it was fine, though our waiter was a bit slow (both in quickness and attentiveness). You can't beat the location however. Right smack in the middle of downtown, across the street from the Sommet Center and the Country Music Hall of Fame. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hilton_Nashville_Downtown/r609368 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hilton_Nashville_Downtown/r609369 The Hilton Nashville is in a great location. I chose it based on its four diamond rating. It is not a four diamond establishment. The rooms are OK, but that's all. I went to the front desk for change for a $10 dollar bill and the clerk told me that he didn't have any money and to go ask the valet. At a four diamond establishment, they would have found me change. I also got a bogus restautant charge added to my room charges, lucky I looked at the bill. By the way, the bill was not presented to my room on the date of departure, the clerk told me, "the guys must not have worked last night". Additionally, each day of my stay (2 people), I was given three bath towels once per day. I take two showers daily on business and had to call for towels each day. Stay at the five diamond Hermitage or the Renaissance. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hilton_Nashville_Downtown/r609369 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hilton_Nashville_Downtown/r609370 This hotel does everything right. My daughter and I visited Nashville for a 40th birthday trip. The Hilton is within walking distance to Nashville nightlife, the riverfront, the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Ryman Auditorium. They have a auto rental kiosk in their beautiful lobby and I was able to rent for one day to visit the Opery and other Nashville attractions. Wonderful breakfast buffet - friendly staff. Best time ever....... http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hilton_Nashville_Downtown/r609370 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hilton_Nashville_Downtown/r609371 A bit pricey but worth every penny, rooms are great and clean and freshly laundered. They eliminated the nasty never washed bed spread so many other places still have. Perfect local everyhting right there, police station next door, so even quite safe at night. Valet for car and rooms awesome and attentive, some of the best and most personal care and service I ever experienced, even better than the ritz I thought. I also slept like a baby , beds rock, bathroom huge, can actually fit my stuff and still have room. Gives complimentary water even. Use valet parking better value and so much ore convient. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hilton_Nashville_Downtown/r609371 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hilton_Nashville_Downtown/r609372 When you first walk into the Hilton in downtown Nashville, you are greated by very friendly staff. The grand staircase is beautiful and adds class to the front of the hotel. Checking in the Hilton is simple and a pleasure. The front desk has an awesome staff. The Hilton is a great hotel--you won't be disappointed. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hilton_Nashville_Downtown/r609372 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hilton_Nashville_Downtown/r641437 If you drive be very careful here. The Parking garage (owned by the hotel but leased to an operator) is expensive and does NOT offer a daily hotel rate. if you come in and out a lot, parking charges could exceed $28 a day or more. Hotel is unsympathetic. There are better downtown hotles with more custome rfriendly parking policies. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hilton_Nashville_Downtown/r641437 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hilton_Nashville_Downtown/r609373 Room was clean and spacious. Great views of the city, awesome location for walking to entertainment venues. Staff was very attentive, restaurants have a variety of food. This was one of my most pleasant hotel stays ever...will definitely use again. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hilton_Nashville_Downtown/r609373 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hilton_Nashville_Downtown/r641438 First of all this was suppose to be a great weekend for my husband as I as it was for Valentine's Day but when we get there the place was beautiful! We checked in and they were nice and very helful. When we got to our room that's when I realized that what I thought we were getting was not as it appeared to be. I got a king suite which looked more like a regular room. The picture's online are very decieving! The bathroom was bigger than the whole room the wallpaper was coming off in spots (which I understand normal wear and tear) but for the price of 287.77 a night you would think that it would have been so much better!! My husband loved the time that we were able to spend with one another but that was all that he enjoyed! Some of the employee's were very rude and did not like the fact that you needed something. The next morning I got up made the coffee in the room and called down to ask for more cream and sugar after waiting for 30 min. and the fat our coffee was cold by then my husband went downstairs to get cream & sugar. Then 5 min. after that housekeeping brought what we needed 35 min. before that! I would never stay here again the price for what you get is horriable!!! http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hilton_Nashville_Downtown/r641438 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hilton_Nashville_Downtown/r609374 Hotel is just a two block walk from the Ryman Auditorium, our first time to see the Opry at that venue. Suite was immaculate, in excellent condition, with outstanding bed linens and amenities. Lots of dining and entertainment right around the corner on Broadway. Stayed one night on the way back from Florida, but would stay there again any time. Highly recommended. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/Hilton_Nashville_Downtown/r609374
