13 Nashville Airport Hotels Reviewed: Free Shuttle Verified
1. Country Inn & Suites by Radisson Nashville Airport TN
The Vibe
This 4-star property at 590 Donelson Pike is a 6-mile drive from BNA, but the free shuttle makes the trip seamless. Guests repeatedly mention the staff’s willingness to drop off and pick up from nearby restaurants too — a nice bonus over a standard airport transfer. The 8.1 cleanliness score tracks with consistent feedback.
What You Actually Get
Private parking is available on-site at a nightly rate, and both microwaves and refrigerators come standard in every room — confirmed by hotel management. The 24-hour front desk handles late arrivals without fuss, and key card access keeps security tight. The free WiFi scores a solid 8.1. Note: children 18 and older are charged as adults, so check pricing if you’re traveling with teens. Pets aren’t allowed here.
Choose this if: You want a 4-star property on Donelson Pike with a practical shuttle and standard amenities at a reasonable rate.

2. Nashville Airport Marriott
The Vibe
The Marriott at 2200 Elm Hill Pike hits a consistent 8.2 overall across 1700+ reviews, with every individual score category hovering at 8.3 or above. It’s the reliability pick. The shuttle runs from 4 AM until 11 PM every 20 minutes, which means you won’t wait long after collecting your bags. Guests call the atmosphere “welcoming, clean, and simply elegant.”
What You Actually Get
Every room comes with a mini fridge — confirmed by management — and city views are available in select rooms. Pets are allowed with applicable charges, making this one of the few pet-friendly options at this quality tier. Parking runs $10.93 per night, and breakfast is a $16.95 per person coupon redeemable in the hotel restaurant (up to $20 daily). The free WiFi hits 8.5, which is strong for a busy airport property. Note: booking 9+ rooms triggers different group policies.
Choose this if: You want a predictable, full-service Marriott with a frequent airport shuttle and pet-friendly policy.
3. Cambria Hotel Nashville Airport
The Vibe
A 5-star rating label and an 8.9 overall guest score make the Cambria the premium pick on this list. At 44 Rachel Drive, it’s a 6-mile drive from BNA, and the free shuttle operates from 5 AM to 11 PM. Cleanliness hits 9.3 — the highest in this group — and repeat guests (one reviewer noted “a dozen times”) keep coming back for the consistency and modern decor.
What You Actually Get
An outdoor swimming pool, full fitness center, and on-site restaurant give this property a resort-adjacent feel without leaving the airport corridor. The facilities score of 9.2 is nearly as high as cleanliness — unusual for an airport hotel. A $75 damage deposit is required at check-in, so have a card ready. Breakfast runs about $13 per person for a very good spread. Note: the shuttle starts at 5 AM, not 4 AM, so verify timing for flights before 6 AM. Pets are not allowed.
Choose this if: Cleanliness and modern design are non-negotiable — this scores highest in both across the list.
4. Drury Inn & Suites Nashville Airport
The Vibe
The Drury Inn at 555 Donelson Pike tops the entire list with a 9.0 overall rating and a staff score of 9.4 that beats everything else here.

5. Embassy Suites by Hilton Nashville Airport
The Vibe
Embassy Suites is just 1.2 miles from Nashville International Airport — the closest to BNA on this list. The free shuttle covers a 3-mile radius, so you can also reach nearby restaurants and shops without a car. The 8.3 overall is solid, but guests rave about the made-to-order omelet breakfast and indoor pool. Staff scores 8.8, the second-highest staff rating in this list.
What You Actually Get
All rooms are suites, giving you a separate living area — a genuine perk for longer stays or families. Premium Suites on the top two floors include free drinks and snacks delivered daily.

Note: no shuttle to downtown Nashville, but a third-party shuttle runs to 7th and Broadway. Breakfast is free and includes the made-to-order omelet station guests love.
Choose this if: Proximity to the airport matters most — at 1.2 miles, this is the quickest shuttle ride on the list.

The Vibe
Hyatt House matches the Cambria’s 8.9 overall rating but targets a different traveler: the extended-stay guest. At 14 Century Blvd, this 3-star property scores 9.3 on comfort and 9.2 on facilities — numbers that compete with 5-star properties. The free airport shuttle covers arrivals and departures, and the private parking is free, not paid. Guests call it “the best hotel I’ve ever stayed at considering the price and location.”
What You Actually Get
Full kitchens in every room — not just a microwave and mini-fridge — make this the top choice for longer stays or travelers who prefer cooking their own meals. Barbecue facilities are available on-site. The indoor swimming pool works year-round, and the fitness center is well-equipped. Pets are allowed with charges. The free WiFi scores 7.6, which is on the lower end for this list — worth noting if you need to work remotely. A $50 damage deposit is required at check-in.
Choose this if: You’re on an extended stay and need a full kitchen, free parking, and a comfortable room at an excellent rating.
7. GLo Best Western Nashville Airport
The Vibe
GLo Best Western at 425 Glastonbury Rd scores an 8.4 overall with a standout 9.1 for WiFi — the best connection of any property on this list. The free airport shuttle operates on a call-when-you-land system: just phone the front desk from arrivals and a driver comes directly to you. Guests specifically praise the lack of carpet floors, making this a strong pick for allergy sufferers.
What You Actually Get
Free on-site parking is included, which saves $10+ per night compared to most competitors here.
