The dates of my stay are 9/17-9/21. After looking at the Priceline revealed hotels called "Downtown/Convention Center" as well as Hotels.com and Expedia, I realized that Nashville is an "automobile town". Many of those hotels - whether 2 or 3 star quality are actually 2-3 miles from the downtown convention area. All the reviewes were from people who drove. As was pointed out on the Priceline Board but some other people a month or so ago, both Priceline and Hotwires "Downtown Nashville" maps are pretty scary as you probably stand at least a 50% chance of being, not only not walking distance but actually out on a major interstate. So far I've got a $98. blended rate (Wed-Thurs/Fri-Sat of about $92.00 at the Comfort Inn which is easy walk across the highway - and cancellable. I'm wondering if anyone has figured out a way to be at least 95% certain of getting a room actually IN TOWN on PL or HW. Priceline's 2 star revealed is $59. but it's described as follows: Nashville-Daystop West2 Star 2 star hotels typically appeal to the traveler looking for basic comfort and convenience. Guestrooms generally offer amenities such as private baths, television and telephone. These hotels may not offer on-site dining but are generally located near casual dining establishments. Nashville, TN (Nashville Downtown) West just a few miles from downtown is one of the best parts of Nashville. Lots...More The cheapest 3 star is the HI Select Vanderbilt which is $143! Anyway, if you or others have any suggesttions I'd love it! Steve
