“We didn’t want to be in a standard hotel, this had two rooms and two bathrooms. That’s amazing! The bunkbeds were huge and the mattresses were great. Our two adult enjoyed sleeping in them. One of them is 6 foot tall and she had plenty of room . We had plenty of room to enjoy each other without being on top of one another. The bathroom made the biggest difference. We loved the coffee bar in the lobby and used it daily. The rooms were clean and if we had a question, we just texted and got an answer right away.”

“Had an amazing stay here from start to finish. The hotel was incredibly clean, well-designed, and in an awesome location. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, and you can really tell they care about the guest experience. Would absolutely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area and will definitely be staying here again next time.”

“What a wonderful experience I had last weekend where we had the whole hotel to ourselves for a work convention we had in Nashville. The rooms were so clean and spacious and the amenities were perfect. They had coffee and chocolate, candy and little swag gifts as an extra touch. The kitchens were perfect for all of us to gather, eat and be together. The communication with the host was seamless and they were so easy to work with. Cleaners came every few days to take out the trash and clean the common areas. It was a great location and I will definetely be back the next time I am in Nashville. I can't say enough good things about this place. Thank you for the southern hospitality.”

“Our group had such a positive experience with Hotel 121! We were in Nashville for a business conference and it was so centrally located and convenient to get around. Also, the layout was one-of-a-kind -- everyone was able to have their own privacy, while also enjoying the common areas together. 10/10, Highly recommend, we will definitely be back!”

“All I can say is - WOW! We stayed here for a girls weekend recently and were really blown away. The property is extremely clean and decorated so cute. The sheets and pillows are exceptional! I was honestly so impressed with the staff. They were attentive and friendly… talk about southern hospitality!! We stayed here a few years ago on a business trip and it was nice, but the new management has really taken it to next luxury level. The location is perfect for work OR play. The kitchen was super clean and everything seemed to be brand new. We had everything we needed. This is my new go-to in Nashville.”
