Top Historic Downtown Franklin Hotel Reviews

Drury Plaza Hotel Nashville Downtown

8/10 Good

"Stay here! Each night you get three drinks, and a small meal. This is included. This saves you $45-100 each night. You also have a good breakfast. So look at the price of the hotel and then remove $150 each night. As the food and drinks easily add up to this. It’s a great location with a 5-10 min walk to any part of broadway. Will stay again for our next trip to town. Talk to the front counter for deals on tours, and events. Overall a great hotel and service! Only complaint if being super critical was the food selection is limited for the free section but yet again it’s included. You have a BBQ night (pulled pork, baked potato and coleslaw), taco night(chicken tacos), and a pasta night( rigatoni, chicken and red sausage with steamed veggies) each night also has hotdogs, soup (veggies or chili) and nachos. For breakfast you have country potato’s, sausage patties, eggs and biscuits and gravy. There is also pancakes, waffles, fruit, cold cereal, and general toasts and yogurt."
