● Public transportation: MTA bus numbers 3 and 5 have stops in front of the hotel. Both go downtown, ending at
the Music Central depot. In the other direction, Bus #3 goes to White Bridge Rd., and Bus #5 goes out to Bellevue.
The fare is $1.70 per ride, with 15-20 minutes in between busses. Once downtown (or at the Gulch), Nashville's
clean diesel hybrid, the Downtown Connector, offers a free and convenient way to get around. Visit
nashvillemta.org for route maps and schedules.
