    I felt the space could have been utilized better. There was very limited room to hang clothes and no drawers in either the bedroom or bathroom. And while I understand the no housekeeping policy during the stay, I would have liked the floor to at least start out clean instead of gritty. I also found it somewhat odd that the bedside lights could not be individually turned on and off. Another small glitch: the luggage lift was not working on the day we left.

    The building itself was charming and the communication with the staff was great. They were very helpful and accommodating. The Dyson hair dryer was fantastic.

    Because of the uniqueness, difficult to achieve privacy. Room walls paper thin.

    No cleaning on day 2. Were we supposed to request this or is this not part of the package?

    The guests above us, stomped around like elephants late in the evening and very early in the morning.

    The is an immense attention to detail. From the snacks, water, extra towels, makeup remover, tv instructions, bathrobes and Dyson hair dryer just to name a few. The management is clearly well traveled and has identified important amenities for guests.

    Such an awesome location in East Nashville! Lots of local goodies nearby and you’re not far from downtown at all. The inside is absolutely beautiful and the surrounding neighborhood is quaint, quiet, and pleasant. The check-in process was so easy, I prefer that to any regular hotel check-in any day

    I didn’t realize that interior rooms were windowless, but that is on me. Just a warning.

    A new personal standard for a hotel. The Russel has its own character, with tons of charm. The common spaces are exceptional, amenities are exceptional, the rooms are exceptional.

    Quiet park of Nashville but a close drive to the action. Walkable to breakfast/coffee spots. Free parking! Room with two king beds a major bonus! Soft sheets - all of the details were considered, no penny spared. Loved the local treats!! Such a fun surprise and introduced me to my new favorite chocolate brand!

    The check in process is very easy. Room is clean, all amenities are complete as described. With good quality amenities. The building itself is beautiful, modern, and historic. Parking is easily available, near and included with the room rate which is why we chose this place for. Nice job. Will recommend this to anyone new to Nashville.

    Loved it!

    We decided to stay at The Russell after leaving a nightmare Airbnb stay. What a great choice that was! As soon as we pulled up to The Russell, we were awed by it’s former church structure, and the sorbet-tinged country vibe of its interior design. We also loved that our stay contributed to meals and accommodation to Nashville’s houseless population. In short here is what we loved about The Russell: Aesthetic Location Cleanliness Customer Service Bed We will definitely stay here again!

    This is probably my bad….. we were in room 3:3 which had a skylight to the lobby. I didn’t know you could close a curtain over the skylight; so the first night was a bit rough with the lobby lighting coming in overhead. In hindsight, I should have texted the hotel staff during the night (they are available 24/7), and they would have solved my problem right away.

    Loved the location and the repurposed church as a hotel while keeping the architectural elements.
