Nashville Airport Hotel: Unbeatable Deals & Comfort Await!
Nashville Airport Hotel: Unbeatable Deals & Comfort Await! (But Does it REALLY?) – A Messy, Honest Review
Alright, buckle up buttercups, because this ain't your typical dry, corporate review! I just wrestled my luggage through the Nashville airport, and I'm running on fumes. Time to unpack my experience at the "Unbeatable Deals & Comfort Await!" joint, and, well… let’s see if those promises hold water.
First Impressions & Accessibility – The Struggle is Real (Sometimes):
Okay, "Unbeatable Deals" is definitely a good start. The price tag for a last-minute escape was surprisingly… well, beatable. That’s already a win in my book. The accessibility, though? Let's just say it's a mixed bag. Wheelchair accessible is listed, which is fantastic, and I spotted an elevator which is a must-have. But getting around with luggage, especially after a long flight, felt… a little chaotic, like the hotel was designed by a committee that mostly agreed on what a hotel should be. The exterior corridors (yep, exterior corridor!) can get a bit breezy, so pack a jacket if you're prone to shivers.
Check-in was speedy, which is a blessing after a flight. They promised contactless check-in/out, and they mostly delivered. The staff were genuinely friendly – a huge plus after dealing with the airport frenzy. And the front desk is 24-hour, which is a lifesaver for those red-eye arrivals.
Rooms – Comfort… Maybe? The Wi-Fi Though!
My room? Well, it had everything on the list. Air conditioning, check. Blackout curtains, double-check (essential for catching those Z’s). A desk (for frantically trying to catch up on emails), a coffee/tea maker (hallelujah!), and a refrigerator were all present and accounted for. The bed? Comfortable enough. The extra-long bed was truly appreciated! I'm tall, and often feel like I’m attempting to sleep on a miniature trampoline when I travel…
Now, the Wi-Fi, which is a big deal for me. They boast Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! - and it actually worked! And not just in my room – I could get a decent signal throughout most of the hotel. That's always a relief. They also had Internet access – LAN if you're old-school or need a seriously secure connection.
However… and there’s always a however, isn’t there? The room itself felt… a little dated. The decor wasn’t offensive, but it didn’t exactly scream "Instagram-worthy boutique hotel." It had a slightly… motel-y vibe. But hey, for the price and the proximity to the airport, I wasn't expecting the Ritz.
Let's Ramble About Amenities (Because Why Not?):
Alright, let’s wade through this swamp of services… First, the restaurants: The hotel offered restaurants, a bar, and a coffee shop. I skipped the Asian breakfast (didn't want to be adventurous that day), but I did grab a coffee. It was… coffee. Perfectly adequate, not life-changing.
Now, for dining. I'll address and analyze the restaurant, but let me say, a 24-hour room service is a GODSEND. I had the late-night munchies, and everything they offer was good. The room service was a life-saver. I opted for the simple burger and fries – comfort food heaven after a long flight. The fact that dinner could be ordered by walking to the front desk if you were hungry was amazing.
As for the things to do: I didn't have time to dive into the spa or the gym/fitness (though they did have a fitness center), but I did see a swimming pool [outdoor]. Unfortunately, it was too chilly for a dip this time around.
Cleanliness & Safety – The Times We Live In:
Okay, important stuff. They touted a bunch of COVID-19 related precautions which made me feel better, this is the world we are in. They used Anti-viral cleaning products, for sure, and daily disinfection in common areas, which is comforting.. They offered individually-wrapped food options and, most importantly in my book, hand sanitizer galore. I appreciated the emphasis on safety. The Staff are trained in safety protocol, based on the fact that the staff had masks, and they were not slacking off.
Services & Conveniences – The Good, the Bad, and the Luggage Storage:
They've a daily housekeeping, which is essential. Luggage storage was a lifesaver. The elevator was a godsend. The concierge was friendly. They had a convenience store, and, look… it was a convenience store. I didn’t check it out, but it was there.
For the Kids? I didn't bring kids. I saw kids facilities! So, this place seems family-friendly.
The Verdict – Would I Go Back?
Look, this isn’t a luxury experience. It’s a solid, clean, convenient place to crash near the airport at a reasonable price. Despite the slightly dated feel, I appreciated the friendly staff, the clean rooms, and the convenience.
Pros:
- Amazing location near the Nashville Airport.
- Competitive pricing.
- Friendly service.
- Decent Wi-Fi.
- Cleanliness and Safety protocols.
Cons:
- The decor could use a refresh.
- Some areas might feel a little dated.
- Could be improved accessibility in some areas.
Overall Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars. It’s a solid choice for an airport hotel. Would I stay there again? Absolutely. Especially if I needed a quick overnight stay, a good price, and convenient access to the airport. And hey, after dealing with travel, who doesn't appreciate a little "beatable" deal?

Alright, here we go. Buckle up, buttercups. This ain't your typical sterile itinerary. This is… my Baymont by Wyndham Nashville Airport/Briley Parkway adventure. Prepare for glorious mess.
Day 1: Arrival, Airport Anxiety, and the Quest for Coffee (aka, "They Said Nashville, Not the Bermuda Triangle of Luggage Delivery!")
- 10:00 AM: Touchdown! Nashville International Airport (BNA). Okay, breathe. Deep breaths. Sun's shining. Country music's faintly warbling… all good, so far, so good. Except my luggage? MIA. Poof. Gone. Vanished into the pre-dawn mists of baggage claim oblivion. Great start. I’m already channeling my inner Loretta Lynn trying to find my damn suitcase.
- 10:30 AM: Airport Customer Service. The name alone suggests a painful experience. It lived up to the billing. "Tracking it now, ma'am." "We'll let you know." I want results, dammit! (Side note: I’m pretty sure the entire TSA staff uses a secret language of passive-aggressive phrases.)
- 11:00 AM: Uber to Baymont. Finally! I'm starting to understand why all the locals are always talking so fast.
- 11:30 AM: Check-in. The staff at the Baymont? Sweet as pie. Bless them. They probably deal with luggage-less lunatics like me all the time. Quick, easy, smooth. Praise be.
- 12:00 PM: The Hunt for Coffee. Priorities. Coffee. Must. Have. Coffee. Checked out the hotel – nothing but sad little packets of instant. Time to venture forth. Found a little diner a few blocks down. The "Briley Parkway Diner"? More like "Briley Parkway Haven of Greasy Goodness." The coffee was strong enough to knock out a rhino and the waitress, a woman named Tammy, was the kind of person who'd give you the shirt off her back. Bless her heart. (Got a bagel, too, 'cause I'm starving. Airport anxiety makes you ravenous, apparently.)
- 1:00 PM: Settling in at the hotel. Room's… well, it's a room. Clean-ish. The AC is a bit aggressive, like a toddler throwing a tantrum. But hey, it's got a bed. And a view of the highway. Glamorous, right?
- 2:00 PM: Phone call to lost luggage. No news. Sigh. This is going to be a long day. I swear, I'm starting to suspect a conspiracy involving my favorite jeans.
- 3:00 PM: Impulse buy: a ridiculously large cowboy hat from a gift shop down the street. I'm not sure why. Maybe it's the Nashville vibe. Or maybe it's just the grief over the luggage. Either way, I'm now officially THAT tourist.
- 4:00 PM: Trying to find the 'Nashville' in 'Nashville'. I mean, I'm not a total country fan, but I'm in the heart of it and so… I'm going to get into it! Found a local bar. A lot of the locals had guitars and that was cool.
- 6:00 PM: Dinner and the blues: a local bar with live music. The music was fantastic, gritty and soulful, and I kind of hated it. Okay, maybe I hated myself. All that anticipation, and I'm feeling off-kilter.
- 8:00 PM: Back to the hotel. Exhausted. And still luggage-less. Another call to the airline. Still nothing. Maybe I should just start a new life. In a cowboy hat. With no luggage.
Day 2: Downtown Shenanigans, Honky Tonks, and a Broken Heart (or, "When Country Music Hits You Right in the Feels")
- 9:00 AM: Breakfast at the hotel. Free continental breakfast. Questionable. But free. So, I ate it.
- 10:00 AM: Uber downtown. Let the mayhem begin!
- 10:30 AM: Broadway. Holy cow. It's like a cacophony of guitars and glitter. Honky tonks blasting out of every doorway. The sheer volume is… intense. In a good way? I think?
- 11:30 AM: The Ryman Auditorium. The "Mother Church of Country Music." Okay, this is impressive. It's beautiful. The history just seeps from the walls. I felt moved.
- 1:00 PM: Lunch at "The Row Kitchen & Pub." A massive burger. Needed it after all the history, maybe I’ll start watching more Nashville history on TV shows.
- 2:00 PM: Honky Tonk Hopping. "Tootsie's Orchid Lounge" – classic. "The Bluebird Cafe" – legendary. Too many beers. Karaoke. I may or may not have butchered "Man, I Feel Like a Woman." Don't judge me.
- 4:00 PM: Another bar. More music. More beers. Then, a song came on. A heartbreaker. And suddenly, I'm a puddle of emotional goo. Nashville. It gets you.
- 6:00 PM: Dinner at "Hattie B's Hot Chicken" – the line was insane, but the chicken? Absolutely worth it. Fire-breathing deliciousness.
- 7:30 PM: More Honky Tonks, another bar, maybe a few too many beers. Karaoke? I'm not saying.
- 9:00 PM: Back at the hotel. After all this, I am not sure how I am even awake.
Day 3: Graceland, and the "Where's My Damn Suitcase?!" Finale
- 8:00 AM: Another sad breakfast. Still no luggage. I'm officially living out of the cowboy hat.
- 9:00 AM: Uber. Final attempt at calling the airline.
- 10:00 AM - 10:30 AM: Getting ready to head home.
- 11:00 AM: Goodbye to Nashville. I feel like i was here longer than three days.
- 12:00 PM: Touchdown.
- 12:10 PM: Home. I swear, I should have been a country singer instead.
- 1:00 PM: I'm on the phone again. This is going to be long.
Final Thoughts:
Nashville. It's… a lot. Overwhelming. Emotional. Delicious (that hot chicken!). And yes, my luggage eventually showed up. Days later. But hey, the cowboy hat still fits. And I've got a million stories. And, most importantly, I experienced Nashville. Messy, imperfect, and utterly unforgettable. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to find some more coffee. I've got a feeling I'm going to need it.

Alright, spill the tea. Are these "Unbeatable Deals" REALLY unbeatable? (Because, you know, my wallet weeps a lot).
I'm petrified of being late for my flight. Proximity to the airport: Is it *actually* close? Or am I just being lulled by cleverly worded ads?
Comfort? What does that even MEAN anymore? (Hotel comfort is a cruel, tease, I swear!)
Breakfast. The most important meal...(okay, maybe not, but I hate crappy hotel breakfast). What's the breakfast situation like? Free breakfast included?
Shuttles. Are they reliable? Because, you know, my anxiety is already through the roof about missing my flight.
Are there good restaurants or things to do *near* the hotels? Or am I stuck in a hotel room abyss?
Parking? Do I have to pay an arm and a leg to park my car?
Can I handle the noise of the airport? Specifically, can anyone handle the noise of the airport?
