In the Opryland area there is one hotel that is within walking distance to the
Opryland hotel.  It is called Fiddler's Inn; it's pretty decent; and it only
costs about $45 a night.  For those staying in the Opryland hotel beware.  The
rooms are expensive, and the food is terribly overpriced.  Better to walk over
to the Cracker Barrell or Shoney's adjacent to the Fiddler's Inn.  BTW, the
Fiddler's Inn is also adjacent to the "Cars of the Stars" museum and the 
Box Car Willie Museum (yes, they are as tacky as they sound).

On a serious note, DO go to see the Hermitage (Andrew Jackson's Homeplace).
It's a very nice way to spend and afternoon (or morning).
