Broadway wasn’t too far away, getting to Broadway wasn’t hard. Coming back to the hotel there is a bit of an incline. The room was clean but small, valet parking only and an extra $65. The first valet guy we had checking in was very rude. At check out different valet; he was fabulous and nice. Overall not bad.

Sheraton is across the street.

Awful customer service. Dirty room, definitely not cleaned from the last reservation. Slept on top of the covers bc a refund wasn’t possible. Do yourself a favor and stay across the street at a different hotel. Literal trash and someone else’s pills in the floor. The soap bottles in the shower were empty from the last person. There was also a spider on the pillow. It’s one of the noisiest locations I have ever stayed in Nash. Needless to stay we were misled by the clean pics but don’t be bamboozled…this is a 70s motel with its outside doors and a paint job and cheap vinyl flooring as their upgrades. We got skewered by the price hike on a hot weekend. This is a negative rating motel at best.

Not Recommended

The parking is a sham and a scam. Valet only and cost me $131.00 for 4 days. They lost my car key once which delayed us 30 minutes. Rooms were old and access was dirty. We could here all the traffic outside and balcony voices and neighbor roo voices. Regret switching from mainstream hotel chain. Walking in/around from Broadway not safe at night. Spent another $60 on ubers to get back each night. Twice there was no valet attendant when we arrived late in the evening.

Nice staff. Pictures of room were very deceiving, a lot smaller than the pictures. The sink in the bathroom drained very slowly, at least a minute to drain each time used. The door to the outside didn’t seal correctly so the wind would move the door a lot.

BUYER BEWARE!!!!!! They absolute worst!!! We were put in a room that had the vibe of a motel 6. Smelled of cigarettes, alcohol and sweat. Like someone partied in it for a week without being cleaned. We got in very late, stayed the night and immeadiately checked out the following morning. Made us all sick to our stomach to even be in the room. We asked that the $900 for the four nights be refunded, less the evening we stayed because we felt that seemed fair. They said it had to be done through Expedia since we booked through them. The did not offer another room, compensation or credit. They stated the were at capacity (didnt believe them) . After reaching out to Expedia, which verified all of the info including our booking with another hotel the next morning, the staff at the Capital Hotel lied just so they could keep the booking payments. I spent over an hour on a live chat with Expedia and they stated it was the hotels responsibility. Expedia did verify that it all happened, they verified the early check out form I was provided from the Capital Hotel and even confirmed that we did book another hotel the next morning. They informed us that Capital Hotel refuses to refund or credit us in anyway! We travel to the Nashville area 6-8 times a year and have never had an expierence like this with any hotel! Guess they have lost their Tennessee way and put profit over people! There are so many other reputible hotels surrounding this one there would never be a reason to stay here!!

The parking situation was chaotic but the valet guys did a great job of making it quick and convenient. The hotel appears much differently than the pictures online. It is run down but the rooms are a good size and the beds were comfortable. We had to put a chair in front on the door because the wind tunnel in the room we were in kept shaking the door since it wasn’t sealed shut…meaning we could see the outside through the crack in the door. It was a very quick and easy walk to broadway. It felt very safe and the staff was all very friendly. Would recommend for a quick one night stay when you know you are just there to sleep. It was surprisingly not noisy at all with foot traffic or street traffic. The hot water takes a minute to warm up. We didn’t try the breakfast so I can’t comment on that.

Do not stay.

We stayed here for the convenience of location. Absolutely not worth the money. The walls are paper thin to the point you can hear the room next to you unzipping the suitcases. The pillows are about 10x10, when asked for a standard size pillow they said they don’t have any. The outside walls were just as thin as indoors. Definitely not a peaceful night sleep, especially come 2-3AM. The only positive thing was the breakfast.
