The Fairfield Inn was in good shape and comfortable.I don't know what these other people are talking about.

I have been to this area of Nashville several times and have stayed at a few different hotels. We decided to stay at this Fairfield Inn because of trust in the Mariott brand and some photos on their site looked nice. This hotel looks much older in person than in photos. The rooms were okay and the beds were comfortable, but nothing stands out about this hotel and I wouldn't stay here again. I paid much less to stay at the Best Western Suites and the room there was nicer. The room does not have a couch, only two double beds (not even Queens). The air conditioning unit does not work very well and the breakfast is lame. Many of the items on the buffet were still frozen in the middle at 9am. Save some money and stay at the Best Western Suites instead.

We stayed here three nights in August in a suite with two full-size beds. Room was clean but showing some wear and tear. Walls needed patched in a couple spots, bathroom door had a ding in it. Beds were not particularly comfortable, but the pillows were nice and fluffy. The room included a couch, chair, mini-fridge and two flat-screen TV's. Our kids enjoyed the pool, and the workout room was nice as well. The complimentary breakfast was typical fare, but everything was kept well-stocked and we enjoyed a big breakfast every morning. Front desk staff were friendly and helpful, and the check-in/check-out process was fast and efficient. Hotel is located near several restaurants and attractions. Be aware that the mall at Opryland is closed until 2012 due to the recent floods.

Spent two nights here in August 2011 for a mini-family reunion and a trip to the Opry. Location is ideal for the Opry, Opryland hotel and the Opry Mills mall (had it not been destroyed in the flood - not sure if the mall will ever reopen, but construction of some sort was occurring) The rooms are nice, beds are two doubles or one King. Most hotels seem to have gone to two Queen beds, but the beds were comfortable. Two computers in the lobby and a nice, if not a bit too small breakfast area. Breakfast choices were the usual, but no waffle maker. The indoor pool is much larger than most hotels have and the workout room is okay. There is a shuttle to Opryland hotel, which is in walking distance and to the Opry, which is a bit further. The shuttle charges $5.00/person to go to the Opry and leaves about two hours before the show starts. This does not seem convenient, but may be a necessity if most people are taking the shuttle. It is less than a 2 mile drive to the Opry, so I am not sure why the hotel is charging so much for the shuttle. There is a huge parking lot at the now defunct mall and parking is free and very close to the Opry. There is plenty to do in the hotel area. There are several hotels, restaurants, bars with good bands, go-karts, mini-golf and an Ernest Tubb record shop/theatre. Staff was pleasant and helpful and I would be happy to stay at this Fairfield again.
