12 South Inn Suites

My husband and I stayed here after our Nashville wedding. Everything was wonderful! The room we stayed in was beautiful, clean, and cozy. We even had a cute little porch with a swing to ourselves! Though breakfast wasn’t provided, we were provided with $ 10 gift cards per person, per day to the Frothy Monkey in the surrounding neighborhood. We loved using the gift cards because we were able to choose our breakfast and when we wanted to go. The owner, John, was very friendly and helpful. He even allowed us to check-​in early to accommodate our wedding weekend schedule. They seem dedicated to providing a quiet, comfortable, and convenient experience. The 12^th South neighborhood nearby is fun to explore — lots of restaurants. You’re close to everything that you might want to do in Nashville (a short drive from Vanderbilt, Belmont, downtown, etc.) but removed from the hustle and bustle. If you’re looking to go out downtown to the honky tonk bars in Nashville, this is not the place for you. But if you’re looking to explore a different part of Nashville and have a quiet getaway, 12^th South Inn and Suites is perfect!

I had a wonderful stay at this Inn in September 2014. 12 South Inn Suites isn’t a traditional B&B. Each of its 3 or 4 guest rooms has a private entrance and the Inn doesn’t offer breakfast or a common area where you interact with other guests. Instead there is a well-​stocked coffee and tea maker in your room plus you are given $ 10 gift cards for each morning you are there for use at the Frothy Monkey, a nearby, highly rated casual restaurant.(I can’t review the Frothy Monkey because I was in Nashville visiting family and didn’t have time to stop by – instead I gave my gift cards to a relative.) I stayed in the smallest room, which was plenty spacious. It offered a queen-​sized bed, fireplace, charming-​yet-​modern bathroom, free wifi, large screen cable TV and, my favorite feature – my own porch with a porch swing! Absolutely, the quality of the space rivaled that of a top-​notch hotel at a far lower price. The place was spotless, charming, and the linens (bedsheets and towels) were of very high quality. The Inn is on the corner of two quiet residential streets and I was given a free designated parking spot on the street in front of my room. The owner doesn’t live at the Inn but was very accommodating. Although check-​in is officially in the late afternoon my flight was arriving late morning and it took just one email exchange to arrange for the owner to meet me at the room at noon. He was very friendly and helpful. 12 South Inn is located in a safe and trendy area of Nashville called 12 South. It is just a 5 – 10 minute drive on residential (no highway) to Vanderbilt U and Belmont, and just a bit farther if you’re heading to downtown Nashville. I highly recommend it!

Perfect place to stay in Nashville. It’s a very trendy neighborhood. You can walk to good restaurants and bars. You’re also between the famous Bluebird Café and downtown Nashville. The place is beautiful and so private for a bed & breakfast. I would suggest this place to anyone going to Nashville. Oh almost forgot… the pastries and muffins they bring in for you are scrumptious! They also provide a fridge with fresh fruit salad, juice, coffee, etc. We’ll be back!

My husband I stayed there last weekend (2 nights) for our Anniversary get-​a-​way. I found this little gem of a B&B on the
website. I loved the photos on the website and was SO happy that the photos were accurate and we got (the queen suite) what I booked! This Inn is very close (nice 5 min walk in a very nice neighborhood) to 12^th Ave which has lots of nice restaurants and shops. It is also about 4 miles from the heart of downtown Nashville. John (the owner and Inn keeper) was so very nice and helpful if you have questions about food or things to do and see in Nashville.
The Inn (which is a house broken up into «apartments or suites») was built I believe in 1929. The suite we had was so clean and well decorated. As soon as we walked in the door, we felt very relaxed. They offer a nice continental breakfast for each morning you are there. That consisted of delicious coffee (the Inn keepers wife makes the blend herself), orange juice, bottled water, lovely pastries (2 slices of banana bread, 3 amazingly good scones, and a giant muffin), Greek yogurt, and fresh fruit salad. It was fantastic but I wish we had cheese. No problem though. :) They had wine glasses and a wine opener in case you brought your own wine-​very thoughtful.
The bathroom is super clean, immaculate even. There is a hairdryer and nice clean white towels for use. There is a flat screen TV and cable for use but we only used the TV to check the weather. Oh and I can’t forget to add that they had FREE Wifi in the suite.
The front porch was so nice and quaint. Its small but enough room for 2 – 3 people to enjoy with a relaxing porch swing.
For a nice, quiet, and uninterrupted weekend escape, we recommend 12 South Inn Suites!

Stayed here as a stop on a trip down to the coast. It was a great room and felt very private and had great character. The location is great and allows for you to walk to several unique and trendy resteraunts and you are small cab fare from Music Row. The price is a little higher than some but for the location and what you get in terms of privacy and comfort it’s worth it. I’d stay here again if I was in Nashville.
