I stay at Aloft properties whenever I can, and this one didn't disappoint. I was in Nashville for…read morework and chose this location because it has an outdoor pool, is close to the airport, and was perfectly located for everywhere I needed to be that week.
The rooms are modern, thoughtfully designed, and comfortable. The bed was excellent, there were plenty of outlets for charging devices, and the workstation made it easy to catch up on work. I also appreciated the glass-front mini refrigerator instead of the typical noisy hotel mini-fridge. It was a nice touch. The room also had an espresso maker and quality coffee, plus there's a 24-hour grab-and-go market downstairs, which came in handy after long workdays.
The lobby has a fun, relaxed vibe with a bar, pool table, business center, and plenty of seating if you want to work outside your room.
My only disappointment was housekeeping. I checked in online and didn't get to my room until after 10 p.m. I was exhausted, so I showered and went straight to bed. The next morning I realized the floor hadn't been cleaned very well, and there was dust and debris under some of the furniture. I called the front desk, and they immediately sent someone to take care of it. When I returned that evening, the room was spotless. I really appreciated how quickly they resolved the issue.
Parking can also be a little challenging. The main lot fills up quickly, especially with larger trucks and SUVs. There is additional covered parking underneath the hotel, but there isn't an elevator back up to the lobby, so if you're carrying luggage, be prepared for a fairly steep walk.
I was fortunate to have a quiet corner room on the top floor with a huge window overlooking the trees. I only wish the windows opened to let in a little fresh air.
A special thank-you to Devante at the front desk. He was warm, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. Great customer service makes a difference.
Overall, I'd happily stay here again. It's tucked away in the Donelson neighborhood, so it feels quieter than many airport hotels while still being just minutes from the airport, Opryland, and downtown Nashville. If you're a Marriott Bonvoy member looking for a clean, modern, reasonably priced hotel with a great location, this Aloft is well worth considering.
Life is too short not to travel. Get out there and see someplace new.
