Free coffee offered all day, but no water? I should not have to pay $4 for warm water at your hotel

Comfort Inn Downtown Nashville - Music City Center
This hotel is so outdated. The room was not very clean. We didn’t really have any interaction with staff. I would not stay here again. The only thing that is nice is the location.
