I’ve done the Natchez Trace. There are not a lot of great Hotel options, and some places you have to go a bit off the Trace to get to a hotel. We did it in 5 days, so sometimes adding 10-15 miles to get back and forth to motels to a 100 mile day was a bit of a PITA. If you did a more relaxed schedule, the various side trips wouldn’t be as big of deal.
The 2 places I would definitely recommend staying would be French Camp, which is right on the Trace, and the Marriot in Florence Alabama. Awesome bar, often with live music, and memorabilia from many HOF artists who stayed there while recording in Muscle Shoals.
