Disliked: Amenities
It is really close to downtown Nashville without being IN downtown Nashville, so easy access to the interstate and to downtown. Downtown is not really walking distance, though, so you'll need to drive into downtown Nashville and pay for parking, which is $$$. There really is no staff at The Russell. No concierge, no continental breakfast, etc. Since there are plenty of restaurants nearby, it's not that big of a deal, but just keep that in mind. The bed was pretty comfortable, especially compared to the "boards with a blanket" beds of the normal hotel chains. I stayed in room 1:6, and I found that there isn't enough counter space to put things. They should add a table inside the door or something like that.

I absolutely loved my stay at The Russell! From the moment I walked in, I could tell this place was something special. The building itself is beautifully restored with so much character—charming, colorful, and full of unique touches that make it stand out from a typical hotel. The room was spotless, cozy, and thoughtfully designed. I appreciated the comfortable bed, modern amenities, and little details like the local artwork and the convenient self check-in process. It all felt seamless and stress-free. The East Nashville location was perfect—close to cool restaurants, coffee shops, and a quick ride to downtown. I honestly didn’t want to leave! I’d highly recommend The Russell to anyone looking for a one-of-a-kind stay in Nashville with a purpose. Can’t wait to return!

Wonderful Stay!

My stay at the Russell has been very enjoyable. A beautiful renovated church with stained glass in the lobby makes for a gorgeous backdrop! The staff, although not on site, is very accommodating and truly want you to enjoy your stay to the full! Next time I’m in Nashville, I will definitely stay here again!!

Great Place away from the Zoo

Everything worked--the key code, the dumbwaiter (for the luggage). Room was as advertised with all needed service & equipment. East Nashville neighborhood is much less frenzied than Broadway, which is only a $10 Uber ride.

I love the fact that this hotel helps the homeless. It is a very unique hotel. Very pretty. Our third floor sky light room was cute, a little tight but still very nice. Wish I would have known there was no elevator and that we were on the third floor, I would have requested a ground or second floor room. It was nice, however, that they do have an elevator for your luggage. That helped! Also the complimentary champagne and snacks and water were a very nice touch!

Easily the best shampoo conditioner and body wash of any hotel I’ve ever stayed at. Very unique hotel and awesome location/ dining options. If you have a bad meal in this area, your taster is off. I think the only drawback was that they allowed kids. I’m a family person, but this hotel shouldn’t allow small children. The walls were paper thin and you could hear kids running up and down the halls/ playing with the luggage elevator
