I absolutely loved this place. Although it was more affordable than some nearby places, they delivered a perfect place to stay. My friends and I were a large group and we were, all impressed. The staff was as good as it gets. My room was cozy and quiet. Their lounging area was perfect. Thank you "The Inn at Opryland." Southern hospitality is alive and well at your place. I will be back!

I've read negative reviews of the inn at Opryland, but I have to say I thought it was pretty great. Stayed 4 nights, the room was clean, well stocked. The beds were comfy. DID have a fridge( open the furniture door, be nosey!!(previous review)) Lovely atrium, overlooking the pool. Quiet in the evenings. Personnel were very nice and helpful. Easy access from Br.pkwy good parking.

Clean room. Comfortable but we were right by the road and a hallway so it was loud. Access to the pool/hot tub made it a better experience. Note that the pics of the boat ride and the huge plant loaded atrium is NOT at this hotel but at the Opry across the street.

The hotel's location is good if you're looking to go to Opryland. My main complaint is they don't have any steaming hot water for your shower. It only gets lukewarm; however, the water from the sink gets really hot. We only stayed there because Opryland was booked and the agent recommended it to us since it was their sister location. You can tell they've remodeled the hotel. We had an exterior room and it was decent with a small cruise ship bathroom. The indoor pool is great for the kids and the restaurant was decent. Another complaint I have is that we had to walk back because we were unaware of the time of the last shuttle leaving Opryland on Sunday night. They should have the schedule printed somewhere with all of the pickup/drop off times. We had one good bus driver who constantly announced when she was coming back to pick us up from the Opryland, Mall, and hotel. I'm unsure of why they all can't be required to do that. Other than that, it was good. And they had friendly staff.

Great comfortable hotel near the airport. The staff are wonderful! The rooms have been remodeled and are clean and cozy. Great food options at the hotel, and more spots within walking distance.

We loved it at the Backstage Grill! We had a reservation for a large party, and had no wait time. It turns out, most of the guests eating there were all in town for the Josie Music Awards, just like us! Our server was great and so was the food. The best part was the live entertainment and music by 2 Country 4 Nashville. They were great!

This hotel is in an excellent location for those who are planning to attend the Grand Ole Opry or a convention nearby. Lots of food venues nearby to choose from, including a pretty decent restaurant in the hotel. Rooms were very clean, but a little dark given the layout. It honestly didn't really matter for us as we selected this place for the location. Uber prices were around 13 to 20 bucks to downtown which is obviously a plus. The front desk service could improve though. Regardless, I will stay here again given the above mentioned circumstances.

Great location, comfortable rooms and plenty to do within walking distance. But basically it's a place to sleep. Nothing else. No coffee, no breakfast, and you pay $8 for a two dollar bottle of water in the lobby. There is a complimentary shuttle to Opryland and the Uber spot is convenient. But thats it. For a Marriott it's pretty meh... I dont know if we would stay there again. It's just ok.
