The Spotlight on avid hotel Nashville South - Smyrna By IHG

Peaceful Comfort Just Outside the Music City Buzz

Modern and minimal with a clean, comfortable vibe, avid hotel Nashville South - Smyrna an IHG Hotel offers a smart choice for concert-goers wanting a quiet place to recharge after the show. Located in Smyrna, about 19 miles from downtown Nashville and major music venues like Bridgestone Arena and Nissan Stadium, this hotel delivers value without sacrificing convenience.

Rooms are simple but polished, with air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, free WiFi, and private bathrooms. The hotel’s communal lounge and snack bar add to the laid-back, friendly atmosphere.

Why Concert-goers love it

While it’s outside the downtown hustle, this hotel is just a short drive from Nashville's top concert venues and only 14 miles from the airport. That makes it a great option for out-of-town fans flying in. The quieter Smyrna location means less late-night noise, and the 16:00 check-in and 11:00 check-out give you plenty of time to recover post-show. Friendly front desk staff are happy to help you find your way to shows or grab a bite after.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends road-tripping for a night out in Nashville
- Solo travelers catching a dream concert
- Couples looking for a low-key weekend away
- Fans who want peace and quiet after a loud night
- Budget-conscious music lovers who don’t mind a short drive

Food and Drink Options

There's a convenient snack bar on-site for quick bites, plus several walkable dining spots in the Smyrna area. While there’s no full restaurant, you’ll find coffee and grab-and-go breakfast options to fuel up after a late night. 24/7 room service is not available, but the hotel offers vending machines and nearby delivery options.

Nightlife Options

While there’s no on-site bar or live music at the hotel, you’re a quick drive from Nashville’s legendary nightlife. Think honky-tonks, rooftop bars, and lounges with live performances every night of the week. Prefer to stay close? Smyrna has a few chill bars and restaurants to wind down with a drink.

What People Say

Guests love the cleanliness, comfortable beds, and the hotel’s excellent value for money. Many mention the quiet location as a major plus after a high-energy concert. Reviews also praise the friendly staff and the hotel’s modern, no-fuss approach. It’s not flashy, but it gets the job done.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the hotel is a bit far from downtown Nashville, so having a car is ideal. Others would have liked more on-site food and beverage options, especially for late-night cravings. Still, most agree the trade-off is worth it for the peace and affordability.

The Bottom Line

If you’re heading to Nashville for a concert and want a quiet, budget-friendly place to crash after the encore, avid hotel Nashville South - Smyrna is a solid bet.

Decent hotel fix the small...

Liked: Location, breakfast, and coffee and water.
Disliked: I was there for 5 nights and my room was cleaned once during my stay. Two days I had a do not disturb sign up. The last two days I didn’t. The maid showed up one day at 4:55 pm. I had been out of the room the entire day til around 430pm and she showed up at almost 5 pm.

A Really Nice Place

Liked: The beds were very comfortable and had plenty of pillows. We had two queens. Unlike many hotels, this one had a nice comforter in addition to sheets, rather than a thin covering on top of the sheets. The room was clean and had no unpleasant odors or heavy perfumes. The AC worked very well when close to it, though it took a little while for it to get low enough for my liking. The window completely blocked out light from outside with two separate shades. The shower was really nice. The bathroom was clean, had ample room, and included Dove products for shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap, and lotion. While it was one-ply, the toilet paper was of pretty good quality. There were enough towels and wash cloths for the 4 of us. There was a mini fridge, an iron and ironing board, and a hair dryer available. There were two benches and one small casual chair at a built-in desk in the room. There was a TV with cable, of course; you can actually check out on the TV.The morning desk staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was decent. There were hot eggs, potatoes, and sausage. They offered bread for toast, bagels and cream cheese, a couple kinds of muffins, 3 flavors of blended Greek yogurt, 2 kinds of cold cereal with either oat milk or 2% cow milk. As far as beverages, they had a few kinds of coffee (which is available 24/7), apple juice, orange juice, fruit punch, and still or sparkling water. Plenty of food for anyone to get filled up.
Disliked: One of the beds squeaked whenever it moved (I did alert the staff, who said they would look into that). Those of us sleeping in the bed further from the AC couldn't feel it very well. It would be nice for the fridge to have a freezer and for the room to include a microwave. The light bulbs are all very bright. It would be good to have at least one that is dimmer.Right now, they have a new computer system that not all of the staff know how to use. As a result, the night staff person could not access my prior communications with management regarding late checkout, so I was not sure about when we needed to check out until I spoke with the morning staff.

This was the best hotel...

Liked: The staff was friendly and very helpful! The location was close to everywhere we needed to go. The hotel was clean and the breakfast was so delicious! I had to take a pic. Lol We will definitely be coming back. I will just have to bring my own pillow...
Disliked: My only complaint is that my pillow was too soft.
