The Spotlight on Holiday Inn Express & Suites - Nashville MetroCenter Downtown by IHG

Easy Comfort Near Downtown Nashville's Top Music Spots

Modern, convenient, and designed for a seamless stay, the Holiday Inn Express & Suites - Nashville MetroCenter Downtown puts you just a few miles from Nashville’s biggest concert venues without the downtown chaos. Located only 2.5 miles from Nissan Stadium and close to the Ryman Auditorium and Bridgestone Arena, this 3-star hotel offers clean, comfortable rooms, free WiFi, and a seasonal outdoor pool for post-show relaxation.
With family-friendly suites, a 24-hour front desk, and a bright, welcoming atmosphere, it’s a smart pick for travelers looking to enjoy Nashville’s legendary music scene without breaking the bank.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’re never far from the action here—venues like the Ryman and Bridgestone Arena are about 10 minutes away by car or rideshare. After your show, return to a quieter part of town for a restful night’s sleep. Late arrivals are no problem with 24-hour check-in, and the shared lounge is a great spot to recap the concert with friends. Free WiFi and nearby rideshare access make planning your night easy.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends looking for an affordable, well-located base
- Solo travelers chasing that bucket-list tour
- Couples making a weekend of it in Music City
- Fans who want a quiet, comfortable place to recharge
- Budget-conscious music lovers who don’t want to compromise on comfort

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, the hotel offers a free hot breakfast—ideal after a late night in Nashville. Several local dining spots are within a short drive or delivery range, and you’ll find snacks and drinks in the lobby area. Though room service isn’t available 24/7, the friendly staff can help direct you to late-night options nearby.

Nightlife Options

You won’t find live music inside the hotel, but you’re just a short distance from downtown’s buzzing nightlife scene. Whether you’re after a rooftop bar, a honky-tonk, or a low-key lounge, it’s all a quick rideshare away. Afterward, head back to the hotel’s sun terrace or shared lounge to wind down.

What People Say

Guests love the hotel’s cleanliness, friendly staff, and excellent value. Many highlight the easy parking and proximity to downtown without the downtown noise. Travelers also appreciate the modern rooms and comfortable beds, making it a great place to rest after a concert.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the hotel isn’t within walking distance of the main venues, so rideshare or driving is a must. Also, while breakfast is included, there’s no full restaurant on-site. Still, most agree that the trade-off for a quieter neighborhood and lower room rates is worth it.

The Bottom Line

A smart, comfortable base just outside downtown, Holiday Inn Express & Suites - Nashville MetroCenter Downtown is a budget-friendly favorite for concert-goers who want convenience without the chaos.

Good Hotel.... but with major...

Liked: Good size room, general hotel facilities were good, all but one staff - excellent.
Disliked: Receptionist (African American girl) when checking in was unhelpful to the point of rude. Big sigh when we appeared at desk, gave us form to fill in - complete usual details, including car plate. We have a rental - so check key fob in front of her - no joy. My wife told receptionist she would go out and check the car in the car park. My wife goes out and the receptionist then tells me to just sign the form anyway as the plate number doesn't matter!! Asked her about taxi into town (it's an Uber - between $6 and $10 plus tip each way) - answered us like we were children when we didn't understand her first time (we are from. UK - unfamiliar accent / terms). Her name badge was hidden under her clothing, and we were so annoyed we snuck in a photo for idenfification. We watched other guests being treated with similarly disdain - and on reading reviews find numerous comments on non-specific reception staff. As the rest of the staff we dealt with / spoke to over our 3 night stay were excellent (we avoided our "problem girl"), we are probably all giving feedback on the same girl. The rest of the staff at this hotel were brilliant - but this girl is letting down the reception, the team and the hotel.IHG need to act - this girl is simply out of kilter with their staff here and elsewhere.

Very pleased for the most...
