I asked Nashville visitors which hotels they'd recommend within walking distance of Broadway, and the responses were incredible! These aren't just random picks – they're real recommendations from people who've actually stayed there and walked to the honky tonks.
Drury Inn
This one absolutely dominated the comments! “Drury hands down!” and “Drury 100% over and over” were typical responses. There's clearly something special happening here.
One visitor broke down exactly why Drury wins: “Short walk to Broadway. Complimentary breakfasts and buffet style picky foods for 2 hours around supper time. 3 free alcoholic drinks included daily too during supper hours. Can't beat it if you are looking for a few extras. Gym and pool also.”
Another guest mentioned they “just left Drury!!! Was great!!! Three min walk if that. Included Drinks And dinner!” When people use that many exclamation points, you know they're genuinely excited.
The value proposition is unbeatable. As one visitor put it: “if you factor in the free happy hour, with drinks, and free breakfast, the price is well worth it!”

Hilton Downtown Nashville
“Hilton Downtown is very nice and closest to Broadway” – that's high praise from someone who's clearly done their research. Multiple visitors mentioned various Hilton properties, but the downtown location got the most love.
One guest pointed out the prime location: “The Hilton sits right behind AJ's Garth's and now just opened Bon Jovi's.” You literally can't get much closer to the action than that!
Another visitor was emphatic: “Hilton Nashville Downtown and no others.” When someone's that definitive, it's worth paying attention.

Bobby Hotel
“The Bobby is by far the best hotel I've stayed at.. and they have a badass rooftop bar and pool” – now that's an endorsement! Multiple visitors raved about Bobby Hotel's style and amenities.
“Bobby Hotel is beautiful!!!!” and “I love the Bobby hotel!” came up repeatedly. Though one honest reviewer mentioned “Bobbys is great other than the bed. Terrible!” – so maybe factor that in if you're picky about mattresses.

Cambria
“Cambria!!” with multiple exclamation points tells you everything you need to know about this guest's experience. Several visitors mentioned Cambria specifically, with one noting “Cambria on 8th” for the exact location.
This hotel seems to hit the sweet spot of location and quality without breaking the bank.

Moxy Nashville Downtown
“The Marriott Moxy! Like 30 seconds to Broadway” – talk about perfect location! This reviewer went into detail: “Next door to Kid Rock's bar, GooGoo Candy shop, Lainey Wilson's bar and across the street from the Johnny Cash Museum, Luke Bryan's. Prime spot to stay!”
They even shared recent pricing: “This past week, it was $123 and $135/night.” That's valuable intel for budget planning.

Margaritaville
“Margaritaville if you are looking for a pool” was one practical recommendation. Another visitor said they “just stayed at Margaritaville and really liked it. Very clean, comfy and quiet.”
The pool seems to be a major selling point here, especially during Nashville's hot summers.

“We loved Omni” and “The Omni is nice!” came up several times. One visitor noted “if you want resort. Omni” – suggesting this is the luxury option if you want to splurge.

Several visitors mentioned Renaissance, with one sharing a key detail: “I stay at the Renaissance Marriott every time because it's connected to 5th and Broadway, easy access to assembly Food Hall, other shops and restaurants.”
That connection to 5th and Broadway is huge for convenience.

Holiday Inn
“Holiday Inn on 4th street. They have a gulf cart shuttle that will take you to and from Broadway from 2-12. They also have a nice bar/restaurant and you can get a free drink from 4-5 if you show your room key.”
That golf cart shuttle is genius! Your feet will thank you after a long day of bar hopping.
