12 South Inn Suites

We had a perfect getaway weekend at the 12 South Inn. All the comforts of home, great service, beautiful rooms and a great value, all in a quiet location! John was gracious and very helpful, and offered great suggestions to make our first trip to Nashville a memeorable one. We will be back!

OH WOW! We were not expecting how independent from the chaos of the city and peaceful this place would be and it was super easy to catch the bus to any neighborhood in Nashville. We are particular people when it comes to bed and breakfasts and comfort and this place proves there is no need for framed glittery flowers (if you catch my drift). Well worth staying at if you value total relaxation on your trip to Nashville. Plus the 12 south neighborhood is full of beautiful homes and is a treat to go for a walk every morning and have a sit on the porch with the excellent coffee. Thanks for the great time! We'll be back!

Queen Suite great for a couple. Very quiet and charming neighborhood. We had a great time. Tip - skip Edgely's BBQ on 12th, try Famous Dave's BBQ after visiting the Hermitage.

Authentic Nashville, away from Broadway crowd. Easy walk to 12 South neighborhood. King room was lovely, bed was super-comfortable, bathroom was amazing. Great coffee!

12 South Inn is charming and beautifully renovated. Upscale and very comfortable. All amenities exist. Bathroom is outstanding. Close to unique eateries, boutiques, & pubs. Fresh fruit, muffins & breads, homemade & freshly ground coffee are the icing on the cake! Don't miss out on this Inn. We will stay here again if ever in the area.

I planned a last minute getaway to Nashville the same weekend that there was a huge Zac Brown Band Festival going on. Naturally all of the hotel's prices downtown were incredibly high. I found 12 South Inn Suites at an affordable price and can easily say that I had the most comfortable stay compared to that of the other tourists paying almost double what I paid. Not only is the location incredibly convenient but the inn keepers are fantastically kind. As soon as I arrived John was there to give me a tour around the city and tell me about various events going on during my stay. The room was incredibly clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. The fridge was stocked with fruit, juices, yogurt, and waters. AND there was a delicious platter of pastries waiting to be devoured at my leisure. I could not be happier about my choice in lodging for my weekend in Nashville. I wouldn't stay anywhere else if I was to return! We fell in love with Nashville, definitely a must-see city!

As a non-native speaker (I am from Switzerland), I reviewed the reviews before writing this one, to try and find the right words. I overnighted last week-end at John’s place and can back up every word written about it so far, a proof of consistency. Just as previous guests, I enjoyed the great job done in refurbishing and tastefully decorating this venue. I loved the porch swing, the comfort of the bed, the taste of the coffee and the location (very quiet and yet 2 blocks away from Edley’s on 12th Avenue and 2.2 miles away from the Gulch). I had a great evening following John’s recommendations. Jc

A wonderful spot minutes away from centre of Nashville. Tranquil and comfortable, like having your own flat. Lots of good advice from the inn keeper and a helpful tour of the city when we arrived. Highly recommended

My mom and I stayed here while visiting friends in Nashville and absolutely loved it. The room is part of a historic home in a neighborhood, so you really feel like you're staying in someone's home. The owner said the other rooms will eventually be used to expand the B&B. Everything was very nice and high end. Excellent quality linens on the bed and in the bathroom, immaculately clean facilities. Flat screen TV, gas log fireplace (with its own remote control!) ceiling fan, mini fridge stocked with water, Simply Orange juice, fresh fruit salad, handmade pastries, and the owners own blend of great coffee. They provided everything a hotel would but it felt much more personal. You can tell they have good taste and that they care about the quality of their guests' stay. It was situated within walking distance of a beautiful park and the trendy 12th street district and a short driving away from downtown and the universities. I would highly recommend this place to anyone I know staying in Nashville. Barrie and Brenda

Perfect location in a thriving eclectic neighborhood with many shops and restaurants. We loved the room. Very nicely decorated, cozy, and the inn keeper John was a great guy with lots of great info about the community. We really loved the place and it will definitely be our first choice for accommodations for our Nashville getaways!!!

My husband and I enjoyed the accomodations at 12 South. Everything was very clean and very nicely decorated. John was very nice and helpful. The area was peaceful and quiet with friendly neighbors; we took several pleasurable walks in the neighborhood and on 12th Street. One particularly special characteristic of this suite is its private entrance and porch. We enjoyed the privacy, and I loved having my morning coffee on the porch swing. The coffee blend was delicious!

I really adored this place! Subtly located in a neighborhood full of nicely kept Craftsman era houses, 12 South Inn Suites was really more of a little apartment than a room. It was tastefully decorated with an intensely comfortable bed. I mean, this thing was ridiculously comfortable. I could hardly get out of it. The owner has done a lovely job maintaining the details that lovers of older houses appreciate while updating. The fireplace was a good touch and with the central heat turned down at night, it provided just the little bit of warmth to be super cozy under the down comforter. It has a separate entrance so you don't have to bother anybody else in the house. Love it! It was also in close proximity to a delicious Thai restaurant. Couldn't have asked for more. Would stay here again in a heartbeat and absolutely would recommend it to others.
