Nashville Nashville Airport Marriot

Frommer’s Review

This is one of the airport area’s most resortlike hotels, featuring lots of recreational facilities, not the least of which is an indoor/outdoor pool. If you want to stay in shape while you’re away from home, this is an excellent choice. The hotel grounds cover 17 landscaped and wooded acres, though the proximity to the highway keeps the grounds rather noisy. Traffic sounds are not a problem if you book an upper-level room. All the guest rooms are being updated with contemporary décor and flatscreen TVs. For business travelers, there are large work desks and a concierge level. Families will do well to ask for a lower-level poolside room; for extra space, try one of the corner rooms, which are 30% larger than standard rooms. The casual restaurant serves a wide range of pasta, poultry dishes, and generous salads, and has a pleasant view of the woods outside. Updated in spring 2008, with more contemporary décor and flatscreen TVs.
