Psyched Up for UtopYA Con in Nashville!

My ship has landed at the Millennium Maxwell House Hotel in Nashville! I came a few days early to get my swag and pre-orders organized and to have some quiet writing time before the fun begins.

A few people on the UtopYA Facebook page asked me to post some teasers of the hotel, which I love. It has so much character. I would describe it as French inspired with a twist of country music and topped with southern hospitality. There’s even a baby grand piano where our musically talented can perform for us!

The cab ride from the airport was less than twenty minutes in rush hour traffic. There are shuttles available, too.

When you enter the lobby, you are greeted by a beautiful bank of windows that look out to the pool.

The walk to the elevators is so French!

There’s even a French/Cajun restaurant right inside the hotel called Pralines. The menu looks amazing.

But for people who prefer casual dining, there’s also a pub, and the waitress in there is one of the friendliest people I’ve ever met. I had the turkey club. It was delicious and I highly recommend it.

 

I think this might be the stage where the karaoke will be happening–unless the jamming is out by the pool.

 

 

I still haven’t explored the entire hotel, but these are all the pics you’re getting, because I don’t want to give away the whole surprise!

I can’t believe we UtopYA Con attendees will have the whole place to ourselves!!! I can’t wait for the fun to begin! Hurry up, everybody, and get here!

Also, they say this hotel is haunted. What do I say to that? Bring it on!!!
