Placemakr Premier SoBro
We love it here. Perfect location. Reserved parking with Spothero in the same building saves $$$. Pool water is cold. Hot tub was not as hot as I like especially since the weather was cold. Room was clean. Everything worked. Only queen bed but we survived. DG in the same building and really close ...

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Nashville Airport/Opryland
I have spent over 20K on several rooms since April 5th. I will never ever stay at not only a LaQuinta again but all Wyndham properties. By the way my budget for hotels annually is north of 200K. Clown show at this hotel!!!!!

Comfort Inn Downtown Nashville - Music City Center
Staff could be a bit friendlier. Other than that it is right there in downtown, located within 20 minutes of all the major attractions and reasonable pricing. If you don’t want to spend a ton on a luxury hotel and want to save and use your money elsewhere then this is perfect for a budget.
