Top Franklin Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place Nashville Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was so helpful! We had a group for breakfast and there was no seats so they set us up in a room to eat together. Went above and beyond! Friendly and helpful. Thank you!"

Best Western Downtown Plus Music Row

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean and well maintained room, courteous and helpful staff, good breakfast. Water, drinks and coffee available 24/7. Walking distance to the Honky Tonk Highway and the music row. Would definitely come back."

Knights Inn Nashville

8/10 Good

"Big place. Great shot of the pool in the add. That wasn’t open. Room was fine. Clean, and comfortable. Didn’t have a remote for the TV, and the desk took care of it immediately. Breakfast of scrambled eggs, sausage, potatoes, pancakes, juice, cereal, and muffins was fine, and free. You’re not walking distance from anywhere but a great taco stand next door. However short driving or Uber to anywhere fun. Remember, nothing is cheap here except this Motel, and it’s a great value if you would rather save your money for fun."

Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center

8/10 Good

"Very big place, very clean and very friendly. Its like walking around a jungle inside. Way too expensive for food and drinks. Gift shops are a joke for there prices. 50 bucks for a tee shirt!"
