Fairfield Inn & Suites

Downtown & the Gulch


Convenient to breweries, restaurants and music venues in the Gulch, this fairly standard hotel does feature some nice Music City details. A helpful city map is emblazoned on a column in the lobby and a guitar is painted on the elevator doors. The Up Rooftop Lounge offers sweeping views of downtown.

The whirlpool near the fitness center is a nice touch. Parking is $29 per day. Rates include breakfast.
