Back in March, we stayed again at the Opryland Hotel in Nashville. While my favorite hotel there is the Hermitage, the Opryland makes sense with the boys because there is so much there to do on-property, and they love the fountain shows.
We just happened to find the rooms on a pretty great sale that weekend — the Opryland doesn’t run many significant discounts — and we saved even more money by not getting a balcony room like before (which I think is most worth going for in the winter months when the hotel has all of its holiday lights up). 
At the Opryland, which is now a Marriott brand…and I really think they have lowered the rates since rebranding…you’re not paying so much for the room, which is nice but not amazing, as you are for everything else there is to see:
