The Tennessean is a very nice hotel. Positives are the employees, bars and restaurants, decor, fitness center and complimentary shuttle. Negatives include the scant shower amenities (trifle amounts of shampoo and soap) and the wall thickness-I could hear TV next door all night.

Positives-I loved this hotel. It felt luxe with nice linens and an updated bathroom. Loved the cleanliness and check-in staff/valet. Room for improvement: There is a strong deodorizer smell that was a turnoff. I’m not sure if it has old carpet, but it looks and feels like it needs to be updated.
