Initially I'm looking for opinions on the best hotels to stay for a week. Luxury, but without all the hoohaw and 24 hour partying and conventioneers, etc. The Opryland sounds nice, but could be party central, which I hate for more than a day or two. |

Location: Indiana | The sign out front says "stay where the stars stay". That's referring to Hawkshaw Hawkins and Hank Williams.
Motel 6 at I24 and Harding is clean. There's a Hooters within walking distance. |

Location: nashville | Opryland should be great they have lots of new stuff after the flood. Plan for the 20min. walk to your room and payout the yazoo for parking. The Hermiate Downtown is the old I mean historic luxury hotel downtown. Stayed their the first night of the honeymoon 10 years ago.www.thehermitagehotel.com Eat at least one night a Demos', Best bang for the buck in Nashville. Just ask MusicMishka, Great Food, and affordable, Check the Nashville Scene for music and other events when your in town, The Ryman and Gruhn guitars are next door to each other. |

Location: Central Oregon | The Music City Sheraton is very nice. We stayed there last July for the Chet Atkins Appreciation Society annual get together. Nice rooms, nice pool, great food, good service. Not cheap but not outrageous. |
