Pick a traveller type to re-weight the scores and re-rank the rooms around what you actually care about.

Read it your way

Hampton Inn & Suites Nashville-Downtown places visitors within an easy walk of Broadway bars and the Country Music Hall of Fame. The hotel delivers dependable amenities like an indoor pool with an outdoor sun deck and a generous free breakfast with made to order omelets. However, its close proximity to Fourth Avenue South means street noise and honky-tonk music can disrupt sleep late into the night. Some guests also encounter poor water pressure and dark lighting in the showers. 132155

Location19 mentions · 5 filmed
  • The spacious suites are a standout, offering more room than most downtown hotels. Its skybridge access to the convention center makes it especially convenient for business travelers. On camera40:41
  • Safe front door access at night adds peace of mind. The controlled entry creates a sense of security, especially in a bustling downtown area. 13
  • My personal favorite is the Marriott Airport. It's an easy jaunt down the interstate to downtown or down Briley parkway to Opryland if you still want to check all that out without having to deal with it daily. It's up on a hill, set apart from traffic. 3
  • The maxwell house hotel is always a great deal and only 3 miles from downtown. They have a shuttle that drops you one block from Bridgestone, it's an older hotel but clean and quiet 14
  • From the warm atmosphere to the unbeatable location, the Hampton in and Suites Nashville Airport is your perfect home away from home. On camera11:30
  • Recently stayed at the Downtown Hilton. Location is great but the music from Broadway can keep you awake if you aren't out partying late. 15
  • The downtown Nashville Embassy Suites was the best hotel I've ever stayed in personally. Loved the rooms, location, layout, and hotel food/drink options. 15
  • #4 Loews Vanderbilt, is a high end luxury hotel, but I think it's a little 'stiff'. I wouldn't even feel comfortable walking around in torn jeans there. Worse, I think they'd feel less comfortable than me if I did that. It's very close to downtown and great restaurants. 3
  • we were about one block from that so it was a perfect location because we were two blocks from Broadway and one block from Bridgestone we had a concert on that second night it was so easy to walk both there and then back because it was very close and then being two blocks from Broadway was very nice On camera56:21
  • If you're looking for something downtown, I would say the Renaissance, due to its proximity to everything. 3
  • The location is a real highlight. You're just a short walk from the heart of downtown Nashville, meaning you can easily explore the famous music scene, great restaurants, and local attractions without needing a car. 13
  • Check out the Hilton Brentwood/ Nashville Hilton Brentwood. Not sure of your travel dates but I'm showing $135/ night fully refundable in early Oct. That a great location about 10 minutes to downtown and lots of dining/ shopping nearby. 14
  • Hilton Nashville Downtown. This hotel sits right next to Broadway, making it perfect for travelers who want night life at their doorstep. On camera40:28
  • One, the Joseph. A luxury collection hotel. The Joseph delivers one of the most refined hotel experiences downtown. Guests enjoy Italian inspired dining, curated art displays, and a rooftop pool overlooking the city. Located near the Cumberland River, it offers calm surroundings with quick access to downtown attractions. On camera42:18
  • The Hilton is great - cannot beat the location for Broadway, Bridgestone Arena, etc. 15
  • I also like Union Station, a few blocks away, which is an old train station converted into a hotel. It has lovely stain-glass throughout. 3
  • This time we spent a week at the Hilton downtown. This is the perfect hotel to stay in when you are visiting Nashville as it is right across the road from the Convention Center, the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Bridgestone Arena where the hockey and basketball teams play. 2
  • My personal favorite is the Marriott Airport. It's an easy jaunt down the interstate to downtown or down Briley parkway to Opryland if you still want to check all that out without having to deal with it daily. It's up on a hill, set apart from traffic. The staff is wonderful. 3
  • The only one that I would add to the list is Hotel Indigo which is centrally located and frequently has excellent music in the evenings. 3
Room10 mentions · 4 filmed
  • there was no Lighting in the bedrooms or the hotel rooms there was three lamps and then like the hallway light but for a big room with two King beds the two lamps at the bed and than one on the desk was just not enough even with the window open it seemed too dark so I would like more Lighting in there typically I love brightness On camera510:18
  • Classic style and luxury, immaculate service, extremely comfortable bed, and gorgeous architecture....these pale in comparison to the tv in the mirror in the bathroom. It's amazing. 3
  • Rooms are nice with the extra room to spread out. 15
  • Nice glasses, ice bucket and a refrigerator are also at hand. A rather nice room to stay in. 2
  • Now, let's talk about the rooms because this is where the magic happens. They are designed for total comfort with such lovely, welcoming decor. On camera121:26
  • It was very prettily decorated for Christmas, but the rooms were tight. Even in the disabled access room I got (which should have had some extra clearances spacewise to allow for turning using mobility devices), where I had to carefully arrange everything so that I could get my mobility scooter in to charge at night - it was that tight. 6
  • The spacious suites are a standout, offering more room than most downtown hotels. On camera40:41
  • Some of the rooms even come with a private balcony or terrace, which is just perfect for soaking in those Nashville vibes. There are blackout curtains and great air conditioning to make sure you get the best sleep ever, and some rooms even have in-room video streaming for those cozy movie nights. 12

Service16 mentions · 4 filmed
  • Friendly staff make a difference in your stay. Many guests noted how helpful and approachable the employees were, enhancing the overall experience and making you feel welcome. 13
  • "Can't remember the valet's name, but it started with a G. He was good" 13
  • I just stayed at the Fairfield out by the airport a few weeks ago. Hotel seemed clean, everyone was friendly, etc. 14
  • Early check-in is a major convenience. It can be a lifesaver when your travel plans shift unexpectedly, allowing you to settle in and start your Nashville adventure sooner. 13
  • Oh, a nice size refrigerator, which is really cold. That was good. And microwave, little K cups, TV worked fine. On camera188:01
  • Communication issues regarding room status may cause confusion. Being interrupted by staff before check-out can be frustrating, especially if there is a lack of clarity about your stay. 13
  • Valet service receives consistent praise. Staff members like Derrick and Gerson are noted for their efficiency and friendliness, making the often tedious parking process more enjoyable. 13
  • Mag-reply I-share paigesto • 2 taon ang nakalipas Just stayed there last week and I agree...and the staff was AMAZING. Just stayed there last week and I agree...and the staff was AMAZING. Everyone so nice. I honestly haven't felt that level of staff since pre covid. 15

  • Classic style and luxury, immaculate service, extremely comfortable bed, and gorgeous architecture....these pale in comparison to the tv in the mirror in the bathroom. It's amazing. 3
  • Even staff is amazing. The front desk team is so helpful with things like luggage storage, and if you need to freshen up your wardrobe, they have an on-site laundry service, so you can pack a little lighter. 12
  • Got their own pool towels. What do you think, Kaylee? Good or no? Good? Good. Yeah. Clean pool towels. On camera186:08
  • Rely on valet parking with friendly and efficient service, available for an extra cost at this downtown hotel. 7
  • Oh wow - quite the review! Just stayed there last week and I agree...and the staff was AMAZING. Everyone so nice. I honestly haven't felt that level of staff since pre covid. 15

It's up on a hill, set apart from traffic. The staff is wonderful. And there's a restaurant in there that has a Sunday brunch that is to die for! 3
  • Late afternoon some veggies in cups with ranch dip were put out but no other food. They got warm and not a fan of eating warm ranch dip. 15
  • Breakfast was hot and good enough to skip a meal out. On-site bar is a rarity for Hampton properties. 7
  • Breakfast is included and exceeds basic expectations. Guests enjoy a variety of hot and cold options to kickstart their day, which is a nice perk in a city where breakfast spots can get crowded. 13

  • And the noise, dear God, the noise! It wasn't just the construction a stone's throw outside our window that started hours before dawn (literally at like 4 or 4:30 am), but there was some loud, hideous noise that may have been pipes in the hotel that woke me around 1:30 am and repeated itself. 6
