Ask for the Belmont Rate to Stay in Luxury Hotels Near Belmont University

Belmont University is located in one of the most expensive neighborhoods of Nashville, surrounded by pricey hotels. However, if you are coming to visit the university, you are eligible for a so-called Belmont rate, which will help you save money.  The hotels that provide this discount are Brentwood Hilton Suites* (Belmont rate: $129), Holiday Inn Express Brentwood* (Belmont rate: $95), Hilton Garden Inn Nashville (regular rate: $97, Belmont rate provided upon personal request), Guesthouse Inn and Suites (Belmont rate: $99.95), and others listed on the university's official website. The prices rise during the Christmas season, graduation in May, and university orientation in August.

Stay Away From Downtown to Avoid Premium Prices

Hotels situated at the outskirts of Nashville, along the main highways, offer the most affordable rate in the city, making them the best option if you are traveling by car. For example, you can stay at Super 8 Nashville for as low as $48 per night. The list of cheapest Nashville hotels also includes La Quinta Inn Nashville South ($65) and Travelodge ($47). In order to save money, do not stay in the eastern suburbs, since this is the location of hotels near Nashville International Airport, where rates are no lower than $115 per night. Since budget accommodation options in Nashville are limited, make sure to book in advance. Even though cheap hotels do not change prices during the peak season, they are fully booked for holidays several months in advance.

Save Big During Peak Season With Airbnb

Airbnb has more than 1,000 offers in Nashville. The prices start as low as $50 per room, big enough to accommodate two people. This reasonable price includes cleaning services, Wi-Fi, and even breakfast. If you are traveling with more than four friends and want to stay together, consider renting a private carriage house not far from downtown for just $80 per night or an ultra-private casita for just $40. A thorough search will help you find the most affordable accommodations which will suit your personal needs. Among the numerous advantages of Airbnb it is worth highlighting two: the tidiness of Airbnb apartments in comparison to hotel rooms and the absence of seasonal fluctuations of price.

Rent a Car to Get Around After 5 p.m.

Nashville has relatively well-developed public transportation, represented by bus service, which operates throughout the downtown and suburbs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The adult rate is $1.70. The late-night schedule is very inconvenient, so if you are planning to return to your hotel after 5 p.m., it makes sense to rent a car. By booking a car in advance, you can take advantage of great deals, starting from $12 per day. Unfortunately, parking downtown might sometimes be a challenging task, so make sure you know beforehand where you plan to park. One of the best options is Nashville Downtown Partnership (branded as ParkIt Downtown), which has reasonable parking fares, especially after 5 p.m. and on weekends - just $3 per hour.
