Comfort Inn Downtown Nashville - Music City Center
Just an FYI, "self parking available" does NOT mean free parking, it's another $20, although very clever wording. In my opinion, unless you can book for under $100 a night including taxes, it's not a good value. Certainly not really clean. Best feature is the location, that is definitely good
