Here is my report from my recent night at The Joseph Nashville - a wonderful stay:

My pre-arrival experience did involve a bit of bartering over Chat. I really wanted to stay in one of the Corner Suites with the super cool windows in the living room. The associate I was speaking with was very friendly and was able to get me into a Corner Suite as long as I checked out at normal time (Noon). Despite my 8 PM departing flight, I took the deal. This is definitely a service-oriented hotel with all of the very friendly staff. Upon checking in around 3 PM, the associate remembered that they had been speaking with me over Chat, I was offered some iced tea (I learned that I am not a fan of tea), and the hotel amenities were explained to me.

My Corner Suite on the 16th of 21 floors (rooms are on floors 9-20 with floor 21 containing the spa, fitness center, rooftop bar, and rooftop pool) was great. The angled floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room are a major wow-factor looking out onto the Korean Veterans Memorial Bridge, and the decor was comfortable and well-styled with a focus on light woods. I really loved the hard-covered Luxury Collection "Hotel Secrets" book that served as a directory of the Luxury Collections properties across the globe. The bathroom was connected to both the foyer and bedroom and had dual vanities, a separate toilet room, and a large walk-in shower with good pressure. The bedroom had an incredibly comfortable bed (one of the better ones I have slept in - very plush) and a large walk-in closet. Wonderfully, as a new build Marriott, the TVs were Internet-enabled with Marriott's attractive latest-gen OS. The bedroom also had an in-room iPad acting as a directory (it used the same system as the Park Hyatt New York and was nice to use as an alarm clock). Most of the lights across the suite were controlled with buttons on the wall as I have noticed in many of the recent Hyatt properties I have stayed in.

Elite breakfast, a welcome gift choice, was served in the "Lobby Bar" in Yolan's space. I was told that I had $25, which was enough for an entree, but not enough for an entree and drink. I got the double stack of lemon ricotta pancakes, which were good but surprisingly large and VERY hot (temperature, not spice). I did hear my waiter talking to another waiter about the bill going over $25 - my subtotal was $20, but they took everything off and didn't make me sign anything.

Unfortunately, I didn't get to experience the pool as it was raining heavily when I arrived and the pool oddly closes at 5 PM.

When I returned to the property from dinner, I did notice that turndown service was provided. My curtains were drawn, and a plush mat with slippers was placed on the floor next to the bed.

Overall, I would absolutely stay here again. It was a lovely experience, especially that bed and those Corner Suite windows.
