A Nashville visitor recently shared in our Facebook group: “Drury Hotel best find in Nashville 3 blocks from Broadway excellent view pool and music. My go to hotel for Nashville.”
The response was immediate. Person after person chimed in with “mine too!” and “my favorite” and “going back again in February!”
So what makes the Drury Plaza Hotel Nashville Downtown so special that visitors become repeat customers?

The Location Sweet Spot
Three blocks from Broadway puts you right in that perfect zone. Close enough to walk to all the action, but far enough away to actually get some sleep.
You're not dealing with the noise and chaos of being directly on Broadway, but you can still stumble back to your room after a night out without needing rideshare.
One visitor mentioned loving that Martin's BBQ is right across the street. When you're recovering from Broadway, having great food steps away matters.

What's Actually Included
This is where the Drury really shines compared to other downtown hotels. Multiple visitors mentioned the perks that come with your stay:
Free breakfast every morning. Not continental breakfast – actual breakfast.
Evening “Kickback” with three free drinks per person and heavy appetizers. One visitor described it perfectly: “Then you are refueled to hit the bars on Broadway again!”
That evening spread isn't just snacks. People described it as substantial enough to count as dinner before heading out for the night.

The Pool with a View
Several people specifically mentioned the pool and the views. Having a rooftop pool area in downtown Nashville where you can see the city skyline makes a difference.
It's the kind of amenity that turns a hotel stay into more of an experience, especially during Nashville's warm months.
The Repeat Customer Factor
What stood out most in the comments was how many people called it their “go to” place. These aren't one-time visitors – they're people who've found their Nashville home base.
One person even mentioned using it for staycations as a local, which says something about the quality and experience.
The Reality Check
Let's address what multiple people mentioned: it's expensive. Several comments called it “waaaaaaay EXPENSIVE” and “not in our budget.”
This isn't a budget option. But the repeat visitors seem to think the value matches the cost when you factor in everything that's included.
What Visitors Actually Say
Reading through the responses, the enthusiasm was genuine. People weren't just saying it was fine – they were excited about their stays.
One visitor who stayed eight nights in April said “We loved it! Perfect location” and specifically mentioned enjoying those three drinks each evening.
Another person was already booked for October and said “Glad to hear!” when they saw the positive reviews.
The Competition
A few people mentioned alternatives in the comments. The Moxy Hotel got a mention for being directly on Broadway with a rooftop. The Preston got praise for being $100 with free rides downtown.
But the Drury clearly has loyal fans who keep coming back despite other options.
Is It Worth It?
Based on these visitor responses, the Drury works if you want:
- Walking distance to Broadway without the noise
- Substantial included amenities (breakfast + evening food and drinks)
- Pool and city views
- A hotel that feels like part of your Nashville experience
The price point puts it in premium territory, but the repeat customers suggest it delivers on what it promises.
One comment summed it up best: “Sshhhhhh!!! Don't tell everyone!” – the kind of thing people say when they've found their perfect spot and don't want it to get too crowded.
For Nashville visitors who want convenience, amenities, and don't mind paying for it, the Drury seems to have cracked the code.
