Detailed Reviews: Cheap Extended Stay Nashville Tn
1. Studio 154 Hotel
The Vibe
This is the extended-stay sweet spot. A 9.7 location score puts you steps from the Johnny Cash Museum and Ryman Auditorium, but the real draw is the kitchen setup — private bathrooms with bathrobes and walk-in showers keep it comfortable for longer stays where you’re cooking in.
What You Actually Get
Every room includes air-conditioning, a private bathroom with a walk-in shower, bathrobes, and free toiletries. The kitchen facilities are listed as a key feature, giving you real cooking capability — no overpriced hotel breakfasts. Bridgestone Arena is an 8-minute walk, and Nashville International Airport is 9 km out. The check-in window (16:00–23:30) has some restrictions, so plan arrival timing. This is the top pick for anyone looking for cheap extended stay Nashville tn without sacrificing prime location.
Choose this if: You want to walk to Broadway attractions while cooking your own meals to save money.
2. 1 Hotel Nashville
The Vibe
This is the luxury extended-stay contender — but it comes at a premium. A 9.5 location score on Demonbreun Street puts you close to Music Row. Balconies in some rooms, bathrobes, tea and coffee makers, plus spa facilities and a sun terrace mean you’re not roughing it. 350+ reviews hold the 9.1 overall, and private parking is a major plus.
What You Actually Get
Rooms have air-conditioning, balconies, bathrobes, free toiletries, and TVs. The hotel offers spa facilities, a fitness centre, a restaurant, and a bar — you can live large here. Check-in ends at 22:00 sharp, and you must present the credit card used to book. For long stays, the lack of in-room kitchens means relying on the restaurant or takeout, which adds up. Still, private parking and a 9.5 location make it a solid splurge option.
Choose this if: You need luxury amenities and don’t mind paying for meals instead of cooking.
3. The Gilmore, an AvantStay Hotel
The Vibe
A 9.7 location and 9.4 overall score make The Gilmore a serious contender for extended stays. The rooms are recently renovated with fully equipped kitchens, air-conditioning, private bathrooms, and terraces. Free WiFi and a lift add convenience. This is built for people who want to cook, work, and sleep well.
What You Actually Get
Each unit has a full kitchen with cooktop and appliances, a work desk, and a seating area. Balconies in some units give you outdoor space in Nashville’s mild seasons.

The property is pet-friendly, so bring the dog.
Choose this if: You want a recently updated space with cooking capability and excellent location.
4. Home2 Suites By Hilton Nashville West End Avenue
The Vibe
Hilton’s extended-stay brand delivers exactly what you’d expect: a free breakfast, full kitchens, and modern rooms. The 9.4 score from 150+ reviews backs it up. Family rooms with sofa beds and work desks make this a solid pick for longer visits, especially with the 12:00 checkout.
What You Actually Get

5. The Vinyl at Music Row – 1 Bedroom Apartment
The Vibe
This is the extended-stay secret weapon. A 9.5 overall from 150+ reviews, free on-site parking in Nashville (rare), and a washing machine in the unit — this is built for weekly stays. The Music Row location (9.4) puts you near bars and restaurants, but the apartment itself is quiet.
What You Actually Get

Check Tonight’s Price for The Vinyl at Music Row – 1 Bedroom Apartment →
6. The Hermitage Hotel
The Vibe
The Hermitage is Nashville’s most iconic 5-star hotel with a 9.8 location score. You’re paying for the experience — a fitness centre, restaurant, bar, private check-in, and wellness packages. But for truly cheap extended stays, the lack of in-room kitchens and the premium pricing means this is for expense-account travelers more than budget-week trippers.
What You Actually Get
Rooms have air-conditioning, free WiFi, and private bathrooms. The family-friendly restaurant serves American and Steakhouse cuisine. A 24-hour front desk and private check-in/check-out add convenience. Private parking is available at the hotel. The hotel’s 9.8 location puts you at the center of everything — Broadway is a 2-minute walk. Pets are allowed, and there are entertainment options for families.
Choose this if: Budget isn’t a concern and you want the best location and service in Nashville.
7. Captain’s Quarters Riverfront #2
The Vibe
A riverfront apartment with a pool view, fitness centre, and free parking — the 9.3 location score puts you near the Cumberland River, and the apartment itself has one bedroom, one bathroom, and a living room. The balcony offers city views, and the private check-in adds a personal touch.

The Vibe
Hampton Inn reliability in the Green Hills neighborhood — a quieter area with shopping and dining. A 9.3 overall from 100+ reviews, with free breakfast and a seasonal outdoor pool. The 9.4 location score reflects Green Hills’ appeal for extended stays where you don’t need to be on Broadway every night.
What You Actually Get
Rooms include air-conditioning, free WiFi, work desk, refrigerator, and TV. The free American/buffet breakfast saves money daily. A fitness centre and seasonal outdoor pool (open Memorial Day to Labor Day) are available. Free private parking is included. Pets are allowed. The minimart in the lounge is handy for snacks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Nashville hotels offer free parking for extended stays?
Several properties in this guide include free parking, which is crucial for keeping costs down on longer trips. The Vinyl at Music Row (#5), The Germantown Inn (#10), Captain’s Quarters East Nashville (#11), and Music Valley Studio (#14) all offer free on-site or on-street parking. Free parking in downtown Nashville is rare — these properties provide it without extra daily fees.
Do these Nashville extended-stay hotels have full kitchens?
Yes — many of the top-rated properties include full kitchens or kitchenettes. Studio 154 Hotel (#1), The Gilmore (#3), Home2 Suites (#4), and The Vinyl at Music Row (#5) all have cooking facilities. For longer stays, having a kitchen saves significant money compared to eating out for every meal. Look for “fully equipped kitchen” in the amenities list to confirm.
What’s the best area in Nashville for a week-long stay?
It depends on your priorities. Music Row (hotels #5 and #15) offers walkable bars and restaurants with a quieter residential feel. The Broadway/Ryman area (Studio 154, 506 Lofts) puts you in the action but can be noisy. East Nashville (Captain’s Quarters, #19) has a local food scene and nature trails. For a balance of quiet and access, Germantown (The Germantown Inn) or West End (Home2 Suites) are solid choices.
Are pets allowed at any of these Nashville extended-stay hotels?
Yes — several properties welcome pets. 1 Hotel Nashville (#2), The Gilmore (#3), Home2 Suites (#4), Captain’s Quarters Riverfront (#7), Hampton Inn Green Hills (#8), The Germantown Inn (#10), and Vintage Vibes (#20) all allow pets. Policies vary, so confirm any pet fees or deposits at booking. The Germantown Inn and Vintage Vibes are particularly noted for being pet-friendly.
How do I get from Nashville International Airport (BNA) to my extended-stay hotel?
Nashville International Airport is roughly 9 km from downtown. Rideshare services (Uber/Lyft) cost $25–35 to most hotels. Some properties offer airport shuttles — check when booking. If you have free parking at your hotel (The Vinyl, The Germantown Inn), renting a car makes sense for exploring beyond Broadway. The airport has rental car desks in the terminal.
Can I check in late at any of these properties?
Yes — many properties offer late check-in options. The Gilmore (#3) accepts check-ins until midnight, and New Elevations Rooftop (#18) until 00:00. Studio 154 (#1) accepts until 23:30. However, properties like The Vinyl at Music Row (#5) and Captain’s Quarters Riverfront (#7) require advance notice of your arrival time. Always communicate your ETA to avoid issues.
