My wife and I stayed there Nov. 2011 and it was Really Awesome!!!!

The Capitol Grille was so good and our room was just Great!

I was living in Nashville when the Maxwell Hotel burned. It was a sad loss. Radio station WMAK did a broadcast from the hole in the ground that was left after the wreckage of the building was removed. I understand there were tunnels discovered that ran from the Maxwell House Hotel to the river banks during the clean up.

I became intrigued by the Maxwell House Hotel not really sure why, then I find out it sat at the NE corner of Church St and 4th (the view I see from my living room)
