Quality Inn Nashville - Opryland Area
"Hotel was okay. Location was great for getting to the Grand Ole Opry which was the purpose of our trip. Room was clean and everything we needed for our trip. The hotel breakfast was lacking though. We ate next door at the Caney Fork. The ribs were fantastic."

"Room was clean and odor free. The carpet had not been vacuumed and is very dated. Tile floors would make this hotel in par with the more expensive hotels in the area. Breakfast was the best amenity of the stay with omelets made to order and other hot items."
