Very clean and appeared recently painted inside and out. Very nice pool area with additional recreation activities. Restaurant had very good menu selections and food was very good. Rooms were clean and very little sound could be heard outside of rooms. Very convenient location to downtown Nashville.

Went to see Bachman-Turner overdrive at the Brown county music center. Stayed at this lovely little hotel. Built in the '70s. Very convenient and they offered a free shuttle to the music center to and from. The Bar tender at the hotel bar pours a mean Hoosier gold!

Miniature golf is a nice plus. They also have a sand volleyball court and shuffleboard on the grounds. The indoor/outdoor pool is nice, but seemed a bit cloudy, so we did not try it.

We loved staying here! The staff was super friendly, the hotel was clean and neat, the grounds were beautiful with lots of activities (pool, volleyball, tetherball, mini golf, and more). Close walk to shops & restaurants, although the shops all closed at 5 so we didn’t have a lot of time to shop. Only a 5 min drive to Brown County state Park. The only issue was we could hear the people in the room next to us at times but that is bound to happen in a hotel.

This is our 2nd time we have stayed here, it has a great atmosphere, great location, great staff. Love the restaurant/bar onsite and they have live bands every weekend. Our king bed was comfortable and very spacious, love the balcony really enjoyed sitting out there. They offer a full breakfast buffet on the weekend for $15 a person worth the money and lots of options to choose from. We didn’t use the pool but had a very large indoor pool with bay doors they open.

When we arrived early to inquire about what the earliest we could get in the lady at the desk was very friendly and helpful. We misunderstood something she said and when we came back the manager waited on us. She told us that we were wrong. It wasn't that we insisted on anything it was her attitude about it. We had to make a change back to our original room because of the mis understanding. Other than that everyone was very nice and congratulated us on our anniversary. Our room was very clean and I was very impressed with the new bathrooms. All the staff spoke to us from the janitor to the cleaning ladies. We took a walk around the grounds and looked at the garden. It was very nice. We played a little mini golf. They also have corn hole and shuffleboard. It was rainy on the 2 days but sunny the day we left. The restaurant was very good and convenient that it was on the property. The staff there was friendly as well. We visited the Corn Cob pub as well. Our overall stay was excellent. Will stay again.

The Inn is clean and the grounds are well kept and beautiful. They added a beautiful floral mural to the pool house walls since we’ve been there last. Also their restaurant serves delicious food! We’ve stayed there for 3 years in a row. We wouldn’t stay anywhere else!!

Checked in and parked in designated parking lot. Wanted a nice, relaxing night. We were woke up to the phone ringing before 8 am due to an “event” in the parking lot and needed to move our vehicle right away or risk not being able to leave. No mention of this at check in…no mention when we returned that evening and no signs in designated parking lot. Very unprofessional as it would have been easy to communicate. I heard many others that were upset. Will not stay again. We checked out right away.

This hotel is perfect for those attending a show at the Brown Count Music Center. There is a trail behind the hotel leading to the venue and it is a beautiful walk. Our room was very clean. It was very relaxing sitting on the balcony overlooking the courtyard. The breakfast at the Corn Crib the next morning was very good.

We had stayed at the Brown County Inn years ago so decided to stay again for nostalgic reasons. The hotel has been updated and is in a beautiful setting near Nashville. Our room was spacious and the beds were comfortable, we sat out on our patio in the evening. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because there is an "old" building smell when you walk in to registration and in the hallway. Our room did not have the old building odor.

We absolutely love Brown County Inn. The room is always clean and ready, the parking lot is convenient from any part of the building, and the staff members are always super nice and helpful. The property is also so pretty. Our favorite part though is that the Salt Creek Trail runs right past BCI makes walking into town a breeze (and much safer)!

Parking was horrible. Not a good thing when you have to park 300 yards from your access to stairwell getting you to your second floor room. No fridge, no microwave. Outdated shower, ac was noisy. It sounded like running water in room. The garbage company decided to do their pick up early and wake you up about 2 hours before your alarm. $178 room. The best thing that can be said was it was clean.

We were very impressed with many aspects of this inn. The desk and restaurant employees were very helpful and friendly. The weekend buffet breakfast was AMAZING!!! Very fresh & homemade! Dinner was very good as well. Our room was very clean and well-presented. This is an older building, but the owners definitely take great care of everything from the rooms to dining. The whole place had a warm & welcoming atmosphere! We hope to return someday! :)

Went to breakfast next morning and was told only option was buffet or lunch at 9:30 am. Many other options for overnight stay at better rates. Only stayed there because of dining and bar option as convenient. Won't make that mistake again
