Categories

Cleanliness
1
Multiple guests specifically called rooms 'clean', 'very clean', and 'super clean', indicating generally positive cleanliness impressions.
Service
1
Staff repeatedly described as 'very friendly', 'amazing', 'accommodating' and 'knowledgeable' — service is a strong positive across reviews.
Location
1
Numerous mentions of a 'great', 'walkable', 'charming' neighborhood with many restaurants and shops; location is consistently praised (with a few notes about distance from downtown).
Room Quality
1
Significant and recurring room issues: noisy neighbours, stiff/too-firm master mattress, very poor shower water pressure, some below-grade/chilly rooms, cramped/cluttered layout when kitchenette is included, missing small appliances (no toaster), and mixed bathroom configurations (2-bed with only 1 bath). These multiple concrete negatives drive a strongly unfavorable room-quality rating.
Amenities
1
Positive mentions of rooftop, courtyard, kitchenette, small welcome gifts and local treats, and a secure parking garage; however there are some service/expectation gaps (no housekeeping, missing breakfast service).
Value for Money
1
Several guests commented on 'great value' and liking the price and perks; parking fees and occasional extra costs slightly reduce perceived value.
Food and Beverage
1
Many reviews note nearby restaurants positively, but at least one guest expected breakfast and was disappointed it was not offered by the hotel — overall mixed-to-slightly-negative for on-site F&B expectations.
Overall Experience
1
Overall stays are frequently described as enjoyable and 'would visit again' with praise for staff, neighborhood, and ambiance; however room-specific issues (noise, mattress, shower) temper the overall score.

Pros:

This wasn’t our first stay at the Gilmore and it definitely won’t be our last! We love the staff at the hotel - they went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. The a/c was acting up and they immediately sent a technician who fixed it. It’s also in a great location.

Great property, great staff, great location!
Pros:

Very nice property, great location ( lots of shopping, restaurants, and only a short drive to downtown Nashville. Staff was very courteous and helpful. Room was great, practically a full kitchen.

Cons:

My only constructive criticism would be that there was just one elevator and it was pretty slow.
