    Early morning.

    After reading good and bad reviews of this place, I wasn't sure what to expect, but after staying for a week for a music workshop, I heartily recommend the Scarritt Bennett Center. It's a simple place with excellent food on a calm, beautiful campus. The digs are former college dorms, so they are spartan but comfortable. Many, if not all, of the rooms share a small bathroom (Jack and Jill style). I shared a twin room, which had one desk and a lamp whose dusty lampshade kept falling off. :) But apart from that, I had no issues. The bathrooms do feature soap and shampoo, but they are fairly basic. Now, let me tell you about the food. The chefs at the SB Center should be praised unto the high heavens -- they cook delicious food, from teriyaki chicken to baked salmon. But their crowning achievement is their desserts. Oh, my lord. Artfully done strawberry shortcake, coconut cake, all manner of cookies -- so good I wouldn't be surprised if they had been trained at the CIA. The folks at the front desk are very nice and the conference rooms are spacious, albeit chilly (bring a sweater). Just a short walk away is a CVS, Starbucks, and other eateries such as Panera, a hot-chicken place, and tacos. I would be happy to stay at Scarritt Bennett again.

    The Scarritt-Bennett Center is a treasure for those who want simplicity, nature, sacred surroundings and affordability. If you are looking for upscale accommodations, this is NOT the place for you. I stayed 5 nights at the location. During my stay i not only enjoyed walking around the beautiful grounds and learning about the rich history; but I also savored walking through the neighborhood and to downtown Nashville to some attractions and places to dine for my vegan appetite. (Yes, I could have taken an Uber to get to many places within 10-15 minutes, but I enjoy my walks). Scarritt-Bennett has a dining hall on campus with an excellent chef that prepared some vegan dishes that more than wowed. I had a couple meals on campus during my stay. And there were some events on the campus that I missed because I already had other plans. My stay was not only about affordability but about supporting an organization with faith and racial justice roots.

    Residential accommodations are fair but what lacks there is made up for by the beauty of the campus and nice meeting rooms.

    A cheap stay off the strip. If you go here, try to plan in a hour during the daylight to walk around. Beautiful place!

Originally the city's printing hub in the early 1900s, it transformed into a popular entertainment alley in the 1940s, providing a "grittier", more intimate alternative to Broadway's honky-tonks. Our experience here included an evening of drinks and music at Alley Taps, and just enjoying a few walks up and down the street. We had already learned some of the history here from our Joyride tour, which added nicely to our exposure.

In the second chapter that dates from the 1940s to the time of this writing, it is a nightclub and bar destination. In contrast to the nearby Broadway-Honkeytonk Highway, it is far smaller. It is two blocks long bounded by Commerce Street to the south, 4th Avenue to the west, Union Street to the North, and 3rd Avenue to the east. For purposes of this review, I am rating it from the perspective of walking in it during the late morning. When I experienced Printer's Alley it was part of a walk through Downtown Nashville. In the late morning it was quiet. I walked it a couple of times. From the northernmost point at Union Street to the southernmost point at Commerce Street it was a 0.21 mile walk that took six minutes. Unlike the nearby Honky Tonk Highway, it was very laid back and had an off the beaten path to it although it is a block from Broadway. I was impressed with the cleaniness of the alleyway. The historic buildings were free of graffiti and vandalism. That created a better perception of safety. Along the way there were a few signs that told the Printer's Alley story. One of them says, "Probation ends here." I noticed that the largest concentration of nightclubs and other businesses were just north of Church Street. The string lights called attention to these businesses. From my time in historic Printer's Alley, I saw that it was bookended by two modern buildings: UBS Center to the north and the At&T Building-the Tallest Building in Tennessee to the south. I cannot help but note that if the AT&T Building weren't there that possibly Printer's Alley could connect to Broadway. From a daytime perspective I give Printer's Alley Three Stars. In the daytime it is an interesting place to walk through as a part of a Downtown Nashville hike.

I would say that I really liked it. It took about 30ish minutes to complete. We didn't get food or drinks because we planned on getting them at our next stop. While this place was lovely and fun, I didn't not like how it started for a hot sec. Originally, I purchased a Groupon for their 9 hole experience which was $27. I got my code and put it in the website. However, the website wouldn't accept it. So when I went to call the restaurant to see how to correct the issue, there was no answer for 5 calls and an left voicemail. So I decided to purchase another 9 hole experience on their website. Which meant I paid $61 to play this game. But Groupon will refund me.

    I co-work a lot, so there are two main things I look for:…read more Outlets Parking This place is great at 1/2 of these things. Parking is perfect. Plenty of room to park. They have started doing a little better about having outlet options, but mainly at those tall, long skinny tables. The ones that aren't necessarily great for working because they're so high up and can make your legs feel weird after awhile. Haha. The other semi complaint I have is that they close early. 3 pm is early when you want to try and work. Drinks are good. I don't drink a ton of coffee these days, but what I've had there was good. I get either their chai or matcha. Both of those I enjoy! I had a sandwich there recently. I wanted to roll my eyes at the price truthfully. However, when it came.. WOAH. It was GIANT. I was thoroughly impressed. It was really really good. I had to take half of it home and put it in the fridge. When I came back home hours later... it was STILL GOOD. The bread was not soggy either! That's HUGE! Ok so overall, I highly recommend this place and it's one of my go to spots.

I'd still consider going back since they're open fairly late, which I really appreciate. There's a small parking lot next to the shop, which is convenient. Overall, a fun spot for the atmosphere even if the coffee didn't quite hit for me.
