What guests think

At Cambria Hotel Nashville Downtown, reviewers highlight a walkable location near Broadway and attractions, generally clean, comfortable rooms, and a lively vibe with on site bars, live music, and a small rooftop pool, supported by many friendly, helpful staff.

Common drawbacks are pricey valet only parking and occasional elevator outages. Rooms receive praise for space and views but several note dim bathrooms, limited storage, awkward layouts, noise between rooms, and inconsistent temperature or HVAC. Service is often warm, though a minority reported missed housekeeping, slow or impersonal front desk or valet, and rare overbooking or room type issues. Overall, expect a lively, convenient base for downtown fun with a few trade offs around parking and room design.

The Cambria is a great choice for staying downtown. Everything was clean, accessible, and within walking distance to broadway and other attractions. I wished they offered self parking. The in/out valet option for $50 a day was fine but definitely cumbersome for someone who really intended to be in and out all day. The pool is very small but didn’t see many people actually using it. The basic room option was set up somewhat awkwardly but we really didn’t spend a ton of time in the room. Employees were friendly and helpful.

Good location for walks to most sites in the central entertainment area. Room was modern and well kept. Mattress was comfortable, not worn. Half the normal closet and drawers space. Bathroom was modern, but barn door limits privacy, flying shower curtain dumps water on floor, lighted mirror had only one working light level. No food service in the hotel, but separate restaurant on ground floor had good food and service, including breakfast. Valet service was excellent, with obvious care for visitors' cars, and quick baggage handling to and from room.

Great location walking distance to the action downtown (broadway). Staff texted me frequently to see if we needed anything. Rooms were nice and were serviced promptly every day. They have a pool and bar off the 5th floor, which we enjoyed. Only criticism is the elevator was slow during peak times. Nice hotel with great location near downtown. Would stay there again.

This hotel was excellent. There was a rooftop pool with a bar. It had a nice restaurant that served 3 meals a day with outdoor seating. The only thing was you had to valet park which can get a little pricey however, your car was safe from any outsiders and it was worth the money. There is a public parking area across the street but it was out in the elements and cost was about half. I also liked the service the valet guys gave us. We forgot something in the car and they raced out to get it with great attitudes. It was within walking distance of Broadway and not to far from the downtown area

This property has a great location for those visiting for a weekend in Nashville. It was less than 10 minutes to walk to the nightlife on Broadway as well as the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Gulch. Rooms were clean and staff was friendly. Coffee is free in room but no free water or coffee in the lobby. Pool is located outside on the 5th floor and have to walk through the lobby/bar/lounge area to access it so be sure to bring a cover-up!

The advertisement for pool is misleading as the pool is very small. At check in, one of the rooms was already occupied so we basically opened into someone else’s room! Disappointing in that there was no breakfast included. But the bar, staff, and live musicians were all wonderful!

Great location and rooms were nice. The lobby is located on the fifth floor from road level. Main issue during our stay was that 2 of the 3 elevators were down so long waits, my room was on the 17th floor. They did get one up in running after a couple days so only one was out of service which did help. Overall would definitely stay here again.

The cleanliness of the room could have been better. The bathroom had hair in the shower and on the floor throughout the bathroom. There were brown splatter stains on the wall in the bathroom as well. Periodically during our stay there would be this sour drain sewage smell that would be in the room as well. The staff were very pleasant and welcoming.

I stayed at the Cambria Hotel in Nashville for 5 days and 4 nights, and honestly, I was disappointed. The room had a strong, unpleasant smell that never went away, I had to go out and buy a room spray just to tolerate it. It wasn’t just my room either, a friend staying at the same time had the exact same complaint. The towels and sheets were not only worn out, but several had holes in them. For a hotel in this price range, that’s unacceptable. It made the room feel unclean and poorly maintained. The only real positive was the location, it was convenient enough to get around. But overall, the experience didn’t match the price or the brand’s reputation. I wouldn’t stay here again unless they make serious improvements.

The hotel was convenient to Broadway, but far enough where it was quiet. Had a huge restaurant downstairs. Cute pool area. Found the rooms a little dated and dark. Our bed was placed in the middle of the room, which was odd. The lighting in the bathroom was also not bright, especially when doing your makeup.

Great location being just a few blocks from Broadway, the country music hall of fame, etc. We had a corner king bedroom and it was great, exceptionally large with great views. The bar in the hotel was good with food and drink prices being about what we expected. There's a restaurant in the first floor that isn't a part of the hotel, but has a great breakfast/brunch menu. Hotel common areas and rooms were immaculate. Really great stay.

The check in was great, friendly guy checkedusin offered us a free house drink, very tasty. The room was a bit small, but it worked. The bed was comfy. The pool was small, nice. The shower was wonderful. The mirror needs new bulbs or replacement, not good lighting at all. The cleaning lady tried to come in while I was in the bathroom, but when I yelled she closed the door. The ladies at check out were not friendly and not engaging. The valet guys were helpful and great to deal with. Overall a very nice hotel and walking distance to the action on Broadway. Would stay again.

Hotel staff were very friendly, clean room, nice little pool, bar with a stage for live music. What I didn’t like were the paper thin walls - I could hear my neighbors talking like they were almost in my room. They weren’t yelling or anything like that - just seems like there’s little insulation between the walls, and that makes it hard to sleep when you hear your neighbors talking late at night…so just a heads up.

Room was very spacious and clean. Loved decor and view of the city. My only issue was the amount of space given for two people for our clothing and our stay was a Thursday to Sunday. It is an open closet concept but it was very limited with space spilling over the coffee maker area Two small drawers were there but again, only enough for one person. One of us had to live out of a suitcase. Other than that, very convenient to the area and great to have a restaurant and rooftop bar onsite.

Property did not honor the room type on my reservation for a birthday trip. Staff were rude about it not being available and were unwilling to compromise to find a mutual solution. Was offered 3 drink tickets to the hotel bar for 2 people and 3 nights as “compensation” for their overselling. Do not recommend.

Check-in was a little iffy but after that, much better. Valet was a bit of a clutter upon arrival and various times the valet did not retrieve our car without our asking because “the app closed out” on their phone. Bar and entertainment were great. Rooms were well appointed. Would stay here again…especially because of the location.

Would definitely stay here again. It was impossible to talk to the front desk staff directly when trying to call before our arrival. Kept getting transferred to the call center. The front desk staff and the valet were beyond exceptional! There was one particular office staff member that was difficult to deal with. Threatened to cancel reservation unless I confirmed in a two hour window and then I couldn’t get connected to confirm. Apparently hotel overbooked for the night, and they were frantically trying to find space. Not my problem they overbooked! Otherwise good location, nice rooms.
