Hello All, Heading down to ride the Smokey's this July for a two week tour . We are trailering from Cape Cod. Staying in Nashville for a couple days, then heading to Pigeon Forge. Have cabin in PG (gated) already.
We are looking for recommendations for a safe place for the Truck & trailer and most important the bike in Nashville. Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Thank you!!!!

 

Hard to find parking downtown Nashville for pickup & trailer. I've had great time at Fiddler's Inn (Google Fiddler's Inn Nashville) it's real close to OpryLand and the river cruise, Grand Ol Opry and inexpensive. Pool with pool bar, great burgers and fair BBQ. Great place called Nashville Palace as live music all day from open to close. Best of all, HUGE parking lot.

 

We stayed at the Embassy Suites near Vanderbilt. Very close to downtown Nashville with free hotel shuttle. They have enclosed garage parking. Was great for a bike but not sure about a trailer. See link below. Nashville is a fun city. Enjoy the downtown area. Great bands everywhere.

i also usually stay around opryland hotel. its safe and a lot less expensive. be downtown in a few minutes on bike or cab. also lots to do around opryland hotel, must go in hotel its something to see. also a large koa right down the street.

 

Ramada on I-65 across from the stadium is secure, walking distance to Printers Alley, Hard Rock Cafe. it has indoor pool shaped like a guitar

 

I stayed at the Knights Inn across river from downtown. Plenty of parking out back but I'd lock everything up good like anywhere else. I parked my bike in the back for one night and it was fine.

 

vanderbilt area is close to downtown and safe IMO...we stayed at the hampton inn vanderbilt and they have security at night and tall iron fence around the back of the place....

 

It really depends on How Fancy are you looking for? 10 minutes North of Nashville is Rivergate / Madison Area. There is a Americas Best, Country Inn and Suites by Carlson & a rodeway Inn bseide the Hooters restraunt. These are open parking so no issue with a trailer. There is also a Bike night held at Silverados on Wednesday night.

15 minutes to the east is the Donelson are near the airport. There are several decent hotels there.

Downtown Nashville is no fun with a trailer but can be done. Parking is always a issue. There are several nice hotels in Nashville the Omni comes to mind. I guess you could park the truck and trailer at a park and ride near the airport if need be and just ride the bike in town.

Opryland Hotel has plenty of secure parking but the rooms are pricey.

there is a lot to see around Nashville depending on what it is your looking to see.

 

Have stayed in the Vanderbilt area a few times - Home2Suites or Hilton Garden Inn - It is a great area - places to eat/drink within walking distance & we have walked downtown even ~ 1 mile. Both hotels offer a shuttle that drops you off at corner of 5th & Broadway. When your ready to head back, call them & they will come get you.

parking the trailer will be the tricky part. I would call the hotel you want to stay at & ask.

 

Thanks for all the great advice everyone...
