It's a rather dull city with a bothersome homeless population downtown. I was very happy to leave. The two saving graces were Jeni's and the Belcourt, neither of which are downtown.
Is there another HIlton or Hyatt nearby that you would suggest we should stay at for a first-time visit to Nashville in October 2013? I'd like to make the best use of my GOLD status or Diamond (Hyatt). Thanks.
