While that didn’t bother me, I was disappointed to learn that the rooftop pool and bar - which were both advertised in the hotel’s description - would not open until March. That meant there were still construction workers putting the finishing touches on the lobby bar. The check-in agent was friendly, and she told me that the hotel was still in a soft-opening stage. The lobby had an 1920s elegance, and a split-level design with a restaurant downstairs, bar upstairs and sitting area in the middle. I received a notification that my room was ready at 11:30am, so I headed straight to the hotel after my flight. It was three blocks from the hotel, and I knew I could count on seeing some of the city’s best pickers there.
The Holston House was at the western end of the action on Broadway, the heart of the city’s tourist scene. The nearby honky-tonk bars all ran together except Robert’s Western World, the top spot on Broadway. Nashville lacked a convenient public-transit option from the airport, but the trip in a taxi was quick and cheap (about 15 minutes and $25).Īcross the street from Bridgestone Arena and three blocks from the convention center, it was a convenient tourist location. (I’m planning to compare properties throughout the year to help determine what new credit card to add to my wallet by the end of 2018.) Location
I used my Chase Sapphire Preferred Card for the booking, for 2x points for travel. I had no World of Hyatt status, so my points potential was limited to five points per dollar spent. With only two Google reviews, it was under the radar all right. This felt like a steal, and it was probably because the property was trying to climb up the hotel rankings for the city. The Holston House was only $150, and the Music for Your Ears rate included a $40 credit for food.
When I browsed rates for my one-night stay, most nearby hotels - Hyatt Place, Omni and Renaissance- clocked in at $225 or above.
