I am in Nashville quite frequently for work. Was there two weeks ago. I have never stayed at the JW or the Joseph. I am a BIG fan of the Renaissance Downtown. Great location. Great rooms. Lobby sundry shop is amply stocked. The lobby bar is great. The gym is top shelf and open. Parking connected via an indoor walkway. The lounge is closed but that's a wash across all properties right now. One of my favorite properties across the country.
