Holiday Inn Express & Suites Nashville-Opryland

The shuttle service.

The heat in the room did not work. They did discount 1 of the 2 nights.

Location near The Grand Ole Opry was outstanding. Took us less than 10 minutes to get there on New Year's Eve. Opry Mills Mall was right next door to the Opry House, also. Decent breakfast choices, and good places to eat nearby. They have a shuttle which will take you over to the Mall and back for free, and downtown for a $10 round trip.

Our room was on the top (5th) floor, which was problematical our first night because of the weather. The hotel backs up onto an open prairie with no other buildings for blocks. That's the side our room was on. The wind was gusting over 30 miles an hour consistently most of the night, creating a really loud howling sound (howling like wolves, at times), which was enough to wake me up in the middle of the night and keep me up for a couple of hours. Short of relocating our room to a lower floor, possibly, I'm not sure there's anything the hotel could have done for us for the second night, but thankfully, the wind died down and the problem solved itself. Still, quite an expensive journey into sleeplessness the first night. So, if the wind is blowin', stay out of room 516.
