Nashville, Tennessee , Super 8 Nashville Airport, Music City

Nashville, Tennessee , Super 8 Nashville Airport, Music City

We know this BRG location all too well, having appeared here many times in the past. The owners love the pain that BRGs bring, it would seem. The result is a decent place to sleep on your next business trip through Nashville, or for those who are needing to catch an early flight out of town.
. While it appears on the Expedia 24 Hour Sale list, this one is a "Fall Special" on Expedia, and thus should be available, well, through the fall.

hotel, Albany, New York - Knights Inn Albany Airport

hotel, Albany, New York - Knights Inn Albany Airport

Here's an airport BRG for those using Albany airport in the near future. The only downside is that it doesn't seem to offer a complimentary airport shuttle, so you might have to hire a taxi for the 2 mile drive to the property. What the hotel does offer is a complimentary continental breakfast, free wifi, and a seasonal outdoor pool.

The hotel is listed as the "Country Hearth Inn" on both Orbitz and Cheaptickets, but it's a Knights Inn property (according to the Wyndham website). The addresses match up 100%, so don't worry - your claims will be approved.

This BRG opportunity is located in the heart of the Jersey suburbs, around 30 miles southwest of Manhattan. It's easily accessible from Interstate 287, for those travelling by car (which I hope you are, unless you're up for a long, boring ride on public transit). It's not very practical for anyone to use this as a base for exploring New York City, but if you are travelling to and fro, it's worth considering it.
