Nashville Marriott at Vanderbilt University

The experience was good. It was a nice clean hotel to rest your head at the end of the day. Today, all hotels should have free internet as people travel for business and the need is just as common as cable TV. To have to pay for that type of service makes customers feel like there are always hidden service charges and they are being nickeled and dimed to death. You could have simply taken your laptop to the Starbucks in the same plaza and gotten free wifi. Also, when you stay at a hotel, parking should simply be included. Other hotels, in the same area, had parking lots for their guests at no charge. Fix those two items and this hotel would have been a GREAT hotel.

The hotel was very clean and met all my my needs. I wished that the font desk was more knowledgeable of the Vanderbilt Campus and events. Shuttle service gave us a ride to the country music district, but did not answer for the return ride. Cabs were inexpensive and readily available. We at at Jackson's down the street and food was really good. If you are visiting Vanderbilt for any reason, I would recommend this place. They charged $.250 for a drink in machines and $4.00 for a bottle water. This was a negative and I would suggest bringing your own if you plan on drinking more than the one provided in the room. I did purchase because of the convenience but would be more prepared if returning again.

The Nashville Marriott at Vanderbilt University is very convenient for those conducting business at the school or medical center. The room was clean and spacious and room service prompt. The only on-premise restaurant was closed, although the hours of operation suggested it ought to have been open. Dinner available at the bar was typical 'pub' food.

The best part of the hotel was the location, just 2 miles away from the heart of Nashville. The room itself was okay - servicable, but nothing extraordinary. The TV was great. . .when it worked. I showed up and the remote was broken. After it was fixed, the TV would randomly turn off every once in a while. The staff was friendly and the brunch was good. Bottom line, you pay for location. You're a 30 minute walk from the center of the action.

The hotel was close to the University Campus. Eating and shopping were nearby. The rooms were comfortable and modern. Computer access was easily obtained. The exercise facilities were nice- a little small when more than 4 people present but there was variety and it was very clean. The next weekend following my stay in Nashville, I was at the Sheraton in Dallas, Tx and it was more expensive and not as clean, comfortable or accomodating.
