We were on the road home from Florida, found this hotel, and although the price was a little "high" it was a Saturday night, so we booked a room. We were pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness, the decor, and the COMFORTABLE, clean bed! Made us wish we had more time to stay longer. Conveniently located to good restaurants.

We stayed here for 3 nights, and loved every minute. Rooms were large, quiet, and nicely decorated and well designed. Wi-fi was a little slow in the room, but fast in the free business center. Staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great, had everything we wanted. In the lobby area, they had free 24 hour hot water, tea and coffee. We learned after the first evening to pick up an extra hot chocolate packet for our daughter at breakfast so she could have it later in the day, as they didn't leave those out all day.

We took the free shuttle that runs every half hour to the Gaylord Hotel, saving you the $18 parking fee there. You do need to sign up for the shuttle, so plan ahead. When we were ready to come back, we called the main desk (they will give you a business card with the phone number). Pay attention to where you get dropped off, as the Gaylord is a huge place, and you can get turned around. After the first time though, we ended up driving to the Gaylord ourselves, and parking in the mall for free, so we could come and go as we wanted without a schedule.

The hotel is not close to downtown, but it was easy enough to get there. We loved this hotel, but if you intend to party downtown, you may want to choose a place that you can walk back to at the end of the evening. We split our time between the Gaylord hotel complex and downtown. Save yourself a ton of money and stay here instead of the Gaylord!

After staying in Gaylord Opryland for 3 visits to Nashville at Christmas, economic reasons compelled us to find somewhere cheaper to stay but close enough to Opryland that we could still enjoy the Christmas activities (Rockettes, Ice, etc.). I chose the Hampton Inn because their rooms are always high quality. I chose a suite to give us that extra seating area. What a nice choice I made! This motel is very close to Opryland & for less than half the cost we enjoyed a huge comfortable room & easy access to all nearby activities! We actually spent alot of time in the room relaxing there as opposed to going over to Opryland & sitting over there in the crowds! We took advantage of the free hot breakfast also, which was very good. Opryland is & always will be very special but we are more than happy with our new favorite place to stay in Nashville, for the nice huge rooms, tasty breakfast, friendly staff & perfect location!

We stayed at the Hampton this past weekend for a cheer competition at the Gaylord Opryland. The breakfast was good each morning plus it is free. They had muffins, eggs, bagels, biscuit & gravy,and mini omelets. The room was very clean,and the people in the front desk were very helpful. We used the shuttle to go to Opryland everyday. The shuttles runs starting at 7:30am,and then every hour after that until 10:00pm. Just make sure to sign up at the front desk for the shuttle because it only holds 11 people. We will use this hotel again next year!
