Believe the charge for parking across the street is $5 or $6. It helps to park on the 4th floor as there is a catwalk going across the street directly into the hotel. Also I have a slightly better opinion of the concierge lounge selections in the evening then IrieDame but the lounge would only be available to you on Sun night as I believe it is closed during the weekend. As you are platninum you can easily score breakfast coupons for you and your kids by just asking.

Kind of OT, but as a new MR Plat, how do I get breakfast coupons? If the lounge is closed, as I travel on weekends frequently, do I get free bfast? How about on award stays? Thanks for the help.

BNA is home to me (for now at least). You might want to check out the Vanderbilt University Marriott. It will be very close to the start of the CMM and is in an upscale portion of the city. In this area you will be surronded by more locals than tourists - just depends on what you are looking for.

. In addition to being surrounded by locals, you will be surrounded by some pretty good dining choices - and the hotel restaurant isn't half bad.

I have stayed at the Renaissance Nashville a number of times and have found it convienent when I want to go out in Nashville, everything is walking distance. However, I prefer the Vanderbilt Marriott if I am not going out. It is a very nice facility, and the staff is the best I have encountered at any Marriott. I spent alot of time there a year or so ago, and felt right at home and welcome. It is also right next to a PF changs, Flemings, and a Borders bookstore.

One of the benefits of the Renaissance Nashville is the Bridge Bar - if Brad is working you will be served the best martini you've ever had (if you like them well shaken)! Also, easy walk to the honky-tonks (try Roberts Western World - home of BR549). And for breakfast it's a 20 minute drive west down 100 (I think - whatever Broadway turns into) to the Loveless Cafe. Great biscuits and smoked bacon/sausage/ham.
Vandy Marriott is also nice, but my vote is for the Renny! Have fun whichever you decide.

Highway 100 runs off of West End Av, but it is not called West End by that point. It is HWY 70 S or Memphis-Bristol HWY or Harding Pike. Memphis-Bristol Hwy is an offical secondary name, it shows in maps and in the Metropolitan Police system, however, it is not a common use name, and many people will not know what you are talking about. There are few signs that actually have that name.
