I'll be traveling to Tennessee in May. I need some 3* and 4* hotel
recommendations for both Nashville and Memphis. Internet access is a
necessity, preferably free wireless. I'm guessing I might be able to
poach some anyways, if its in a populated downtown area.
In Nashville, we've contemplated staying at the Gaylord Opryland
Hotel, but I'm not sure how smart that would be to base our tourist
operations 13 miles outside of the city. Opinions on that? How is
public parking near main attractions within Nashville?
Along those same lines, in either city, are there alternatives to
downtown(proper?) that might make sense to stay in? Like Midtown/
Overton Square/Park in Memphis, or Music Valley in Nashville?
We'll have access to a car the entire trip.
With 4 days in Nashville and 4 in Memphis, which attractions are not
to be missed? We're a well-traveled early thirties couple with wide
ranging interests with food and music high on our priority list. We
like everything from art/history museums to zoo's(Which one is
better?) & aquariums, science centers, live music/dinner shows, scenic
overlooks, parks/gardens, plantations, wine tastings, etc. We dislike
loud overly crowded places and cheesy tourist strips that sell tons of
t-shirts, plastic souvenirs, shot-glasses, and refrigerator magnets.
Appreciate any advice.
Thanks.
Keith
