Pros:

Location was fine. Staff was polite.

Cons:

I visited in the summer. One of the reasons I selected The Tennessean was because I planned to have room service after a full day of driving. Imagine my disappointment when I discovered the restaurant was closed. I prefer the grand old hotels, but when the amenities are not available, they aren’t so grand
