Many know Millennium Maxwell House Hotel as the hotel where President Theodore Roosevelt stayed, tried Maxwell House Coffee, and claimed it “good to the last drop.” We think the hotel is still “good to the last drop” with its saltwater pool, convenient location in Downtown Nashville and fitting music-themed decor. Kids love the Ask Alfred Children’s Programme – add this amenity onto your room and kids get an Ask Alfred cinch backpack with an Ask Alfred teddy bear, gummy bears, a crayon activity set, stickers and postcards they can decorate and drop off at the concierge desk for complimentary mailing.
