Im staying at the Renaissance Nashville Hotel its on Commerce Street. how close is it to everything? I know nothing about Nashville. Wireman I got ppl crashing at my place already or Id open the door.

 

Your really close. I think that it is just one block north of Broadway, and maybe a block or two from the start of the bars (around 5th St) like Legends Corner, Tooties, The Stage, etc.

I hear that FSU has a few open rooms...

You are pretty close to the action.

Right now, rooms near downtown Nashville are going to be expensive and few and far in between. It is tough getting a room for New Years without having an additional 40,000 people or so in town for the ball game. Bad thing about Nashville is the lack of hometown establishments and so many flock to the downtown area. Thanks but no thanks.

Not positive....mainly highway. Mapquest the distance.

Call the Nashville Visitors Bureau and ask if they have any packages or know of any open hotels.

Once you are on Broadway, everything is within walking distance.

You can walk to the stadium. THere is a pedestrian bridge across the Cumberland that takes you right to the stadium.

The hotel may even have a shuttle.

How many of you are going down....shouldnt be much to split a cab fare.

 

I have friends that live in the Brentwood/Antioch area. 10 minutes from downtown is being generous, by cab, especially on New Years. You are looking at anywhere from $40-$80 cab ride, depending on your exact destination. The more the better

Yes...forgot to consider the New Years Eve Celebrations.

If you want to avoid the downtown mayhem, I suggest heading over to the West End or a grouping of bars just off Demonbreun - places a little closer to the University. Still not far from downtown, but if you are staying on the southern portion of town (i.e. Brentwood), a lot better access and easier to get a cab.

I would try Priceline...I was looking to stay in Brentwood or Franklin and ended up getting the Opryland Hotel for 89.78 including tax!

I am not sure about it, since it will be New Years, but last time I stayed at Opryland Hotel, they have a shuttle that runs to the downtown area (to and from) through the late hours of the night for only like $5 a person, which is a heck of a deal.

Ok, I have found 5 motels within 6-8 miles and the price range is $65-85. I don't think I'm going to be able to do any better than that. Do you guys think I can do any better than that, or should I go ahead and reserve them this morning?

That is the best you are going to do.

 

Where exactly are they located?

Considering it is New Years and more congested traffic, I would figure for, at the least, $5 a mile for a cab.

This shows a $25 cab ride from the airport (which is around where you will be) to downtown.

 

I would check and see if the hotel will offer some sort of a shuttle service. I am telling you, the Nashville cabs will get you.

I booked my room today. I was pretty happy - I'm about 7 miles away from Broadway and the room was only $75 a night as a 2 1/2 star motel. I won't complain about that at all. They also have free local transportation. That probably won't get me 7 miles, but it should get me a couple, at least.:thumb:

 

If anyone else wants to meet up or anything, message me and I'll get you my cell #.

I've got a couple extra rooms at the West End Hampton Inn. It's about 1 mi from the strip on Broadway, a very nice hotel that we stayed at last year. They have a shuttle to the game, but Cab fare was less than $10. PM me if anyone needs one, I can switch it over. I think they are around $175 per night.
