How are the rooms? Very fresh and spacious. Comfortable bed. Thermostat had a hard time maintaining temperature (it was in the low 20s outside) with all of the glass floor-to-ceiling windows. Didn't really make use of the balcony other than to chill my waters and sodas. Some street noise (lots of ambulances due to nearby hospital)

[If you are Spire]

Bad - Mediocre amenity, some road noise. Not walking distance to The Gulch and touristy areas.

Value for $ or Priority Club Points? Would you return? Moderate value at $250/night. I'm not planning to visit Nashville again, but if I do, I might look at the Indigo.
