I found this place accidentally, AND MY GOODNESS WHAT A BEAUTIFUL, PEACEFUL, and AMAZING place it is to stay when out and about in Nashville! The fact that it was a former church & how it was retrofitted to host people is just fantastic design! And let’s not forget that a portion of your stay goes towards helping individuals experiencing houselessness!!!
This location is ideal and walking distance from all that East Nashville has to offer - amazing restaurants, cool bars, and other things that you may need access to when in Nashville. The drive from this location to Broadway (downtown) was about 7-8 minutes tops, but you don’t get the hustle and bustle of downtown Nashville - perfection!
Now, let me describe the location. THEY HAVE A PODCAST STUDIO! Although I didn’t use it because I only spent a night, it’s definitely one of those that I would’ve taken advantage if I was there for several nights.
The room we stayed in had EVERYTHING that I needed - super comfortable bed with a church pew repurposed as a bed frame (awesome!); Dyson blow dryer and cooling fan (and Dyson products in the restrooms in the main entrance); a/c was already on when I went it, so the room was crispy and cool; and a fridge to store my stuff. Plus the little welcome basket had great goodies that I took! The beverage coozies will be used!
Parking lot across the street from the church was perfect for my car in terms of safety since I drove across the country and had valuables in my car. Plus it was super easy for me to go back and just get stuff as I needed it.
Once you’re checked out, you can leave your bags in a secured locker in the lobby if you’re not yet ready to leave. WiFi speeds were perfect for my morning meetings that I had to knock out before I left.
This place is a 10/5 - everything was just wonderful and self-explanatory! And yes, I’ve bookmarked this place for a future stay when I’m back in Nashville this coming winter!
