Looking for the perfect hotel near Broadway in Nashville? Whether you're planning a fun weekend getaway or a trip full of honky-tonk adventures, finding a hotel that's both close to the action and budget-friendly can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. But don't worry—I've got you covered!
After digging through a treasure trove of recommendations, here are the top picks, especially if you're looking for that sweet spot of free breakfast and (somewhat) affordable parking.

Drury Plaza Hotel Nashville Downtown
If there’s one clear winner from the comment section, it’s the Drury Plaza Hotel. Stephanie Allen, Wendy Jo, and dozens of others gave it rave reviews. Why? It offers free breakfast, a rare perk downtown, plus a nightly 5:30 p.m. “kickback” with light dinner options, snacks, and three free drinks. Talk about a bonus!
Parking at the Drury runs around $30 per night, which, while not exactly cheap, is still on the lower end for the area. Bart Bass suggests using the SpotHero app to find nearby parking deals—he scored a spot just a few blocks away for $70 total for a Wednesday to Monday stay. Not bad considering many places charge that much for just two nights!

Homewood Suites by Hilton Nashville Downtown
Jennifer Haffner Ring recommended Homewood Suites, and it’s a solid choice if you're okay with a short walk. Not only is breakfast free, but rooms come with kitchenettes featuring a full-size fridge, stovetop, and microwave, which can help save even more on meals. Denise Sherman Ramey added that the location near Printer's Alley is great for those who want a slightly quieter spot while still being close to Broadway.

Hyatt Place Nashville Downtown
Looking for a free hot breakfast and a super close location? Tony Kairis and Bridget E Quigley recommend Hyatt Place for both. It’s just a stone’s throw from Broadway, perfect if you want to be where the action is.

Quality Inn Downtown Nashville
If free parking is a priority, Quality Inn Downtown has you covered. Sherry Montz shared her experience, highlighting not only the free breakfast but also free gated parking—a rare find in this area. Plus, they offer a shuttle service every 30 minutes to Broadway from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., so you won’t have to worry about walking back late at night.

Comfort Inn Downtown Nashville Vanderbilt
For a slightly longer stroll to Broadway (about 15-20 minutes), Comfort Inn is another solid choice with both free breakfast and free parking. Bobbi Esterbrook loved the combo so much she plans to stay there again next visit.

Renaissance Nashville Hotel
If you're aiming for something a little more upscale, the Renaissance Nashville got several mentions, including from Anne Marie Chu Nguyen and Jordan Dickson. While it might not offer free parking, Claire Pereira managed to score free breakfast by booking with her AAA card, so that’s a tip worth considering.

Sonder Dovetail & Airbnb Options
For those willing to trade traditional hotels for a unique stay, Tammy Barth Oakes recommends the Sonder Dovetail. It operates more like a condo, with a code-based check-in and no front desk, but the price is competitive. Jessica Dawn also suggests checking out Airbnbs like those offered by JeTy Vacations, which feature free gated parking and even discounts for group members.
Tips for Parking Deals
Parking downtown can get steep, often around $30-$40 per night. If you're looking for alternatives:
- SpotHero app: Recommended by Bart Bass, it can help you find discounted parking spots nearby.
- Library Parking Lot: Pam Michaels suggests this option for more affordable rates.
Final Verdict: Is Drury the Best?
Based on the overwhelming number of recommendations, Drury Plaza Hotel seems to hit the sweet spot for most visitors—free breakfast, a kickback with drinks and snacks, and a short walk to Broadway. Plus, parking, while not free, is cheaper than many other options. MariBeth Durham summed it up perfectly: “It’s awesome! Free breakfast and free drinks and food at night. It’s within walking distance and a decent price!”
So, if you're planning your Nashville trip and want to stay near Broadway, these hotels offer the best balance of location, comfort, and perks. Happy travels!
