Union Station Hotel's 'sleeping in a train station' joke

Union Station Hotel occupies the historic former railroad depot in downtown Nashville and is noted for its Romanesque architecture and clock tower; it operates as a hotel at 1001 Broadway. Locals and visitors sometimes make lighthearted jokes about "staying in a train station" when referring to the hotel, a playful reference to its preserved terminal features.
