I've considered this myself living in Mt Juliet. We have 1 daughter out, 1 to go. Maybe I'll ask my brothers if they know families coming to town and open the doors to them, always happy help out Vol fans.I would host a Vols family coming in from out of town at our home in Lebanon (we have plenty of space now that the girls are all grown), but we're off on a trip to North Carolina that very day.
I'll be watching the game on my phone while my wife drives, heh.
Best wishes to all coming in to town for the weekend; hope you have a blast in every aspect!
Go Vols!
I checked availability, and both the Bellevue Hampton and multiple options in Mt Juliet have availability for around $200/nt. Avery looks a little sketch.If you are coming from the west or south, the town of Bellevue, which is exit 196 on Route 40, would be an easy button choice. I lived there many years. There are two hotels, the Avery and Hampton Inn, on Coley Davis Road that are very close to a major Metro bus stop. I've stayed at both places and they are fine. The Avery is a little cheaper, probably around $100. You can take the bus for under $10 and be downtown in 20 minutes. Easy walk to both the downtown bars and stadium from there. Since it's a day game, no problem getting a bus back to Bellevue. There is also a nice outdoor mall close by the Bellevue hotels with restaurants, bars and grocery stores.
If you're coming from the east, I would think you could find a similar bus/hotel arrangement in the Mt. Juliet area. Seems like a budget friendly alternative to paying $500 a night for a hotel downtown.
Best Western Plus Belle Meade Inn & SuitesLooks like the La Quinta across the street from Nissan Stadium is full and the Comfort Inn beside it has awful reviews... Thinking about venturing over across the river to a nicer hotel that's still in walking distance. Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions since I've not spent a whole lot of time in Nashville.
I live in the Chicago area and drive to Chattanooga several times a year to see my mom and sister. The Nashville traffic is horrible. And I say that seeing Chicago traffic all the timeI grew up in Nashville and Boro, and I totally get it.. I loathe driving into Nashville unless I absolutely have to.. it just seems so much more crowded and trafficky than what I remember (and maybe a little more dangerous)..
