Room was clean, staff were incredibly friendly to us, the hotel is right on the strip downtown so EVERYTHING is walkable. They are pet friendly (we didn’t bring pets, but a lot of other folks did!). There are shared balconies between rooms that are great for people watching and they provide chairs. Rooms seem to be recently refreshed/updated as well. Only complaint is the bed was a little… too hard lol. Everything else was phenomenal, we will be staying here for our yearly visits from now on

Very convenient location on Main Street. Parking was helpful, otherwise have to pay in the city parking. Conditioner didn’t work right, had to turn it off. Breakfast was ok except eggs and sausage were almost cold. Town was very busy with tourist for Oktoberfest, so overall I was happy just to be there for festivities.

The Wander is now our go-to spot to stay when coming to TN. The staff was incredibly friendly, on top of anything we needed. You can’t beat the location, honestly, it’s right by so much and a short walk to the rest! Our favorite pizza place and Starbucks are just a 2-3 min walk from here. Now listen, the pool didn’t seem heated but was ok enough to swim in, the jacuzzi was down, there are some dated features and minor fixes that need done to the rooms, but overall for the location and price I couldn’t be happier with our stay!
