Great room, East Nashville location, comfy bed
Super cool converted church - great East Nashville location. Comfy bed and great hot shower. No checkin desk or staff per se on site but everything super easy and user friendly. Remote check in - key codes emailed for entry. Felt very safe. Very clean. Hope to stay again.

Love this place
This was one of my favorite places ever. It’s so comforting and cool. Great place to hang out and relax. Room was awesome. Only thing missing is a patio or deck area. We will definitely be back.

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!!

Fun Place to Stay for a Great Cause!
This hotel is located in a quaint neighborhood that is close to shops & restaurants. It still has the beautiful church stain glass windows with modern decor. We also, enjoyed the snacks & water provided.

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.

Unique property with fun decor. Love their mission of giving back to the community. While they do not have an elevator, they have a luggage lift that was very helpful.

It was an interesting experience: an eclectic hotel in an ex-church — managed from "afar" (remotely, via code numbers, internet communications, etc.)

One of the most beautiful hotels I’ve ever visited
I booked one night for my road trip and loved the design, the thought, the location- everything!!
If you are in Nashville and looking for something different and designed - The Russell is your place.
Plus, the neighborhood is so cool with things to do (coffee places, restaurants, etc.)

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

I have been to The Russel before. It’s really unique and beautiful. The only downfall was that I thought the room was going to be bigger. Other wise it’s a really wonderful place.

Unique and Cool
This hotel was converted from a church so you can see a lot of its past in the design/architecture. The stained glass windows in the lobby are beautiful. Modern and spacious, each room is different in size and color/design. Not far from downtown Nash and in a good neighborhood with food options.
