Top Donelson Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Nashville Airport by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Another great stay at this hotel. It is my go to whenever I’m in Nashville. It’s conveniently located to many things (within reasonable driving distance). Although it’s close to the airport I did not hear any planes and I stayed on the 5th floor (6 floors in all). My only complaint was no length mirror in the room."
