"One of the busy airport area's more unique properties is this 11-story boutique hotel that takes pride in offering quirky perks such as in-room lava lamps, pet fish, rubber duckies, and art kits." Full review
Concierge
"This boutique hotel is drenched in over-the-top decor: red leopard-print pony-skin walls, purple lava lamps, and live (!) goldfish in the bedrooms."

"Reasonably priced motel on the north side of downtown. Rates include continental breakfast."
Lonely Planet
"This beige box has 101 clean, basic motel-style rooms. The cheapest rates in downtown Nashville plus free parking make up for the total lack of charm."
Gayot
"Once the home of President James K. Polk, this 100-room, five-story hotel maintains the feel of an earlier era with period decor and a great location overlooking the State Capitol."
Oyster
Mid-Range
