Superb, iconic hotel, friendly helpful team
Pros:

Everything from day 2 onwards

Cons:

The lobby area was closed to guests when we arrived as the Hotel was hosting a wedding. The first day/night we felt like we shouldn't have been there...

Great Hotel in the Heart of Nashville
Pros:

Location, and history of the premises. The bellmen were extremely friendly and welcoming each time we returned to the hotel. The morning coffee was a welcome treat.

Cons:

The front desk staff had no energy, was a bit surprised they didn’t have the same energy of the bellmen

One of my new favorite hotels.
Pros:

Historic building, great central location, friendly and helpful staff, luxurious room, excellent restaurant - the overall experience was about as good as I could imagine.

Cons:

Of course you pay for this level of luxury. Value is subjective but I feel you do get what you pay for here.

The hermitage hotel is not only a historic and absolutely beautiful building, but the staff is amazing from the door men
Pros:

Absolutely perfect location! Close to Broadway yet far enough away to not hear any of the noise!

Cons:

Nothing to not like! There is some construction going on right across the street right now starts at 7:00am but the walls are fairly thick and I could sleep through it.

Disappointing, dirty sheets
Pros:

Second or third stay here. Chose
It for proximity to a concert at Ryman. Rooms are lovely and the staff is amazing. But stay was disappointing and not up to iprefer standards we usually experience at these hotels. woke up to find the coffee maker we requested did not work. We had to get dressed and go downstairs to get lukewarm coffee just to wake up. Hot coffee is about the only reason i get up in the morning….Worse, when we threw back the sheets to get up and go downstairs, we discovered the sheets were not clean - childs footprints on the inside. 😳 we dont have a child. So that was pretty yuk. Wish we had seen it the night before.

Pros:

everything exceeded expectations! The hotel was beautiful and the staff was helpful and very friendly. I had requested an early checkin since we arrived at 5:30am from a red eye flight from the west coast. They let us check in so we could sleep. The bed was the most comfortable bed ever for a hotel room stay.

Cons:

nothing. It was perfection.

Above and Beyond in Every Way!!
Pros:

From the moment we arrived until the moment we checked out, The Hermitage Hotel exceeded every expectation we had.

We traveled to Nashville to celebrate my daughter's 16th birthday and to pick up her new puppy, making this one of the most special trips we've ever taken. I wanted everything to be perfect for her, so before our arrival I purchased a few special items from the gift shop to surprise her in our room.

When I realized there had been a little mix-up and the items had never been shipped, I called the hotel and had the pleasure of speaking with Amberlyn at the front desk. Rather than trying to rush the shipment, she suggested keeping everything at the hotel and having it beautifully arranged in our room before we arrived. She immediately put me at ease and even offered to have chocolate covered strawberries waiting to make my daughter's birthday even more special.

What happened next completely exceeded anything I could have imagined.

When we opened the door, the room was beautifully prepared for my daughter's birthday. The Hermitage puppy package was perfectly arranged on the bed, complete with the sweetest giant stuffed puppy that the gift shop staff had added as an extra surprise. There were gorgeous birthday flowers in the cutest cowboy boot vase, festive balloons, a handwritten birthday card, and the most incredible chocolate covered strawberries I've ever seen.

As if that wasn't enough, they upgraded us to a beautiful Capitol View Double Queen room and had it ready when we arrived around noon, allowing us to check in early and start enjoying our stay right away.

Every single person we encountered made us feel genuinely welcome. The front desk staff were warm and personable, the valet and door staff were wonderful, the bartenders and restaurant servers were fantastic, and the bakery had some of the best sweets we've ever had.

It is rare to find a hotel where hospitality feels this genuine. Everyone seemed to truly care about making our stay special.

I wanted this birthday trip to be something truly special for my daughter, and your team made it even more magical than I could have imagined. It is a trip we will remember forever, and The Hermitage became such an important part of those memories.

A special thank you to Amberlyn and everyone who had a hand in making this celebration so unforgettable. You didn't just provide a beautiful place to stay. You created an experience that touched our hearts and gave us memories we'll cherish for a lifetime.

We are already looking forward to our next visit.
