Great service and beautiful hotel and rooms. Views from the corner room were fantastic...but the room gets a lot of sun and can get hot. The only observation for improvement was that the hallway carpet leading from our room on the 2nd floor (room 4) to the restaurant is very worn and needs to be replaced.

The Tennessean is a very nice hotel. Positives are the employees, bars and restaurants, decor, fitness center and complimentary shuttle. Negatives include the scant shower amenities (trifle amounts of shampoo and soap) and the wall thickness-I could hear TV next door all night.
