    Great place for the money, I would move the ice machine to another location, from room 1/6 you can hear everything.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    A truly amazing place. Stunningly beautiful, super happy design, amazingly friendly staff, gracious perks and amenities, comfy bed and robes, perfect location in a gorgeous neighborhood two blocks from a natural food store. Can I move in?

    The Russell was so clean and beautiful! The location was perfect for us! We loved the coffee bar. I would recommend it to family and friends! No disappointments at all! Great place to stay away from the hustle and bustle of Nashville!

    Loved our stay . Convenient location , great coffee station , beautiful unique property, quiet. Only tho g I would add is the ability to add a mid week clean for those staying longer or towel service . Maybe that was a possibility … and I just missed it ???

    Great location.

    This is a very quirky hotel, but we loved it. It's strange at first that there is no staff (except when the staff is there to clean the rooms). But they were very responsive when we texted with questions or had a problem (including letting us move to another room in the middle of the night when our air conditioning unit started making a noise that we couldn't stop). The rooms were really well-equipped. And we loved the convenient parking right across the street. It's also really convenient to nearby food, drink and entertainment venues, and a short drive to the downtown area.

    First, anyone thinking about staying here, note that interior means NO WINDOWS. It does say that way, way, way at the end of the property details. The primary reason we wished we had windows for our five-day stay was so we could air the room out. While the management said they didn't "notice" a smell, it was pretty bad. I don't know how anyone could not notice it. I went back and read some previous reviews that mentioned the bad smell, so clearly they know about it. They did offer to let us change rooms but they were leaving for the day or the weekend or whatever and we were helping our son move and couldn't make it back to switch. As far as value, this was ridiculous. Three hundred a night for a room that felt like a cave. A smelly one. As far as cleaniness, I put on a pair of white socks, fresh out of the laundry, and walked across the room to sit down to put my shoes on. In those few feet, the bottom of my socks were filthy, that tells you more about cleaniness than any adjectives could. Also, beware of putting anything in the fridge unless you intentionally want to freeze whatever it is. While I admire their mission, that isn't why we stayed there. Perhaps they might want to consider that putting a few more dollars toward keeping their rooms cleaner might result in more return visitors.

    The room was very spacious, clean and comfortable.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Fantastic, unique place to stay, I can’t wait to come back. Wonderful room (we stayed in the double king skylight room) with such fun touches (headboards were old church pews) Lots of restaurants within walking distance but still quiet and relaxing. Loved the beautiful lobby area, coffee station, ice and filtered water that were available. Highly recommend!

    This property was amazing… It was quaint, Clean to a fault and I truly felt like I was almost in a private home! Super super quiet and in a great location, not to mention free parking! Very close to Broadway. Definitely will be staying there again!!!

    Those with mobility issues should be aware of the need to climb steps into the building and potentially to your room. Also, while there are signs to rooms, they’re a little hard to read at night and not at the entrance.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Love staying here so much! It's always been a wonderful experience when staying in Nashville. The beds are so comfy, the robes are fantastic and the room has many amenities and details that take the experience above and beyond. And the customer service has been top notch even though there is no on-site staff.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Great location in East Nashville. We were able to walk to bars, restaurants and shopping nearby. Hotel was beautiful. The free parking was convenient.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Awesome place. Would definitely stay here again and the fact they give part of the profits to help the homeless….makes it that much sweeter! Stay here! You won’t be disappointed!

  • Engine customer May 2026

    This place is amazing! Will be staying here again!

  • Engine customer May 2026

    It was Loud the door isn’t sealed well for sound - but before we left we found the earplugs - so that tells me they are aware of the situation the layout plan to help homeless is amazing and I loved this concept

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Comfortable bed. We stayed on the third floor, and while all the steps didn't really bother us (no elevator) because of how the room was situated in the church, our room was kinda dark even though it had a skylight.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Very comfy beds, a different type of set up but highly recommended. Very clean modernized rooms.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    The lobby. Very pretty stained glass windows Our room was so tiny. In the attic with no windows. Just a skylight looking into another attic. No natural light at all

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Great place. A little quirky but we liked it a lot and would stay there again. And really loved that some our money to the hotel goes to non-profits working with the ungoused.
