DRURY PLAZA HOTEL NASHVILLE FRANKLIN, Franklin

The hotel sits right off I-65, making Nashville's city center reachable in about 20 minutes, though traffic can extend the commute. It is 3 km from A-Game Sports Complex and a 17-minute drive from Arrington Vineyard. The immediate area is packed with shopping and dining options, including Whole Foods, Sonic Drive-In, and multiple restaurants within a 5-minute walk. Granite City Food & Brewery is attached to the hotel with a direct interior door. Cross the street for a Walmart and several retail plazas, though the busy road makes walking less safe; driving is recommended for errands.

Accommodations range from standard double queen rooms to king suites with separate living areas. All rooms include a private bathroom; Deluxe King rooms offer a walk-in shower, while other rooms have a bathtub or shower. Wheelchair-accessible suites feature roll-in showers and grab rails. Beds are described as comfortable, though some find the mattresses firm. Rooms are generally quiet with good soundproofing, but lower floors (especially second floor rooms 212 and 208) have reported carpet odor issues, likely from pet traffic. Higher floors (7th and above) are quieter and offer better views. Daily housekeeping is provided, including fresh towels and bed-making. No rooms have balconies.

Breakfast is a hot buffet with scrambled eggs, waffles, pancakes, biscuits and gravy, cereal, fresh fruit, yogurt and juices. The evening Kickback (5:30 PM - 7:00 PM) offers a rotating hot meal (e.g., chicken alfredo, soft tacos, nachos, hot dogs) plus three free alcoholic drinks per adult per night. The attached Granite City Food & Brewery serves lunch and dinner for those who want a sit-down meal. Popcorn and fresh coffee are available all day in the lobby. A small on-site convenience store stocks snacks, drinks, and toiletries.

The outdoor portion of the pool is seasonal and may be closed due to rain or lightning, even if skies clear. The hot tub is kept at a warm temperature and is well-sized. The fitness center includes basic cardio and strength equipment, available at no extra charge. No spa or wellness center exists on site.

Free private parking is available but reservations are not possible; the lot can get full during conventions. Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel with good reliability. The business center is free to use; meeting rooms and fax/photocopying are available for an additional charge. Luggage storage is free for early arrivals or late departures. Laundry is self-service with a per-load fee. Dry cleaning pickup is available from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Elevators are fast and there are multiple luggage carts. The property is fully wheelchair accessible with ramps, grab rails, and a roll-in shower in accessible suites.
