The breakfast could be improved. There was t any fruit. There was toast, but not any jam or jelly. There wasn’t any ketchup for the hash browns. The off brand dry cereal simular to cheerios tasted terrible. There is just 1 long table for eating your breakfast.

I booked it and then past the cancel date, I read all of these bed bug reviews so I ended up just booking another room in downtown Nashville. I didn't even use this room. The reviews scared me and I wasted money on this.
