Drift Nashville, a Member of Design Hotels

This hotel is a minimalist location. Check-in is done via text and so is checking out. When you check in the day before arrival you get a text with your room number and the key code. Make sure not to lose the text or you can’t get into room. Not sure how easy it would be to get that info if you accidentally delete the text. Our room had no place to put your clothes in with the exception of a couple of hanger and a chair you could throw our shirts over. So your stuff stays in your suitcase pretty much. Nothing is carpeted and the floors are all concrete so it is very very loud in the hallways when people walk and talk as they go past your room. Do not get a room with a “city view” it’s pointless. Also, if you end up with a room by the elevator, ask to get it changed. We didn’t ask for that but we should of, it kept us up at night. The pillows are horrible, over stuffed and huge…your neck will be in pain. No house cleaning unless you request it. It is close to the Titan’s stadium and downtown, but if you are planning on paying for parking it’s $25 for 24 hours, unless you park on the right side of the hotel on the street. Just be aware that unless it’s a re you are driving with insurance I am not sure I’d park for free.

I stayed for a work event at a nearby hotel, so I did not explore much. I was pleased with everything about my stay. Everything was very clean and the room very unique. I enjoyed the contactless check-in. Great stay.

Geared toward GenZ/Millenials yet this Gen X loved I booked Drift because of the convenience, price, distance to Broadway, etc. yet was a bit skeptical of the various charges - parking, early check-in, etc. However, we worked out the early check-in for a win-win. I didn't have to pay for parking either. The room was cold on a hot summer day, the amenities were nice (body wash smelled terrific), lots of towels, comfortable bed plus the darkening shade made it easy to sleep in after a Broadway night. Would highly recommend. I did not partake in the Sunday pool day because it was covered up. Think folks like me would do better with an early morning pool visit!
