There were many areas that I did not mind staying in, although I preferred downtown. I only had 2 days to bid since we were given tickets to the concert for Friday on Wednesday. Since I could drive home instead of staying I did not want to pay a lot and I ended up paying more than I wanted. Apparently, it was a busy Friday night in Nashville. I think the hotel is for Cool Springs, but I think Franklin was selected also. I went through a lot of tries, starting with a downtown 4* and using the better bidding strategy of adding regions that do not have the hotel star level. I started at a price of $70. The bid that I won I had Opryland as my main area and had added many areas including areas with 3* that I did not mind staying in, including Cool Springs. Opryland was the last area in which I would stay, so I was in my last bidding round on Friday morning. Thanks for the help and I used your link. The Courtyard By Marriott was a very nice and clean hotel in a good location for us. My bidding went from these main areas Nashville Downtown, Brentwood, and now Cool Spring, Franklin, Opryland. I used the other areas that did not have the star level as needed. Here is my hotel maximum * list. 1 Antioch - Smyrna – 2.5 2 Bellevue – 1 3 Brentwood – 3 4 Cool Springs – 3.5 5 Downtown - Vanderbilt - Metrocenter – 4 6 Franklin – 2.5 7 Goodlettsville – 3 8 Hendersonville – 3 9 Nashville Airport East – 3.5 10 Nashville Airport West – 3.5 11 Nashville East – 2.5 12 North Nashville – xx 13 Opryland – 3 14 South Nashville – xx 15 West Nashville – 2.5
