I asked Nashville visitors about nice hotels within walking distance of Broadway that won't cost you $400 a night. The timing couldn't be better – this is actually a fantastic time to book for spring and summer trips when you can lock in lower rates before peak season hits.
Here's what budget-savvy travelers shared about getting great value in Music City.
Drury Plaza Hotel Downtown
Drury was the overwhelming favorite among budget-savvy travelers.
“We just checked out of The Drury. It was great!” one visitor shared. Another emphasized: “Drury all the way.” What makes this hotel such a value? The free breakfast, free dinner, and three free drinks daily essentially eliminate your food costs.
At just two blocks from Broadway, you're getting prime location without prime pricing.

Pro Tips for Better Rates
Smart travelers shared booking strategies. One noted: “Pricing fluctuates depending on what is happening downtown (sports events, concerts, festivals, etc.) so you will need to check the rates for your dates.”
Another recommended: “If you go to booking.com and put in Downtown Nashville and type your dates it will show you your price and distance options SUPER EASY to check yourself.”
The key insight? Book now for spring and summer travel. Hotels are offering better rates during this quieter booking period, but once Nashville's busy season approaches, those deals disappear fast.
