Holiday Inn Nashville Vanderbilt, an IHG Hotel

Loved the Free Shuttle

The staff was amazing. The free shuttle service, Rusty and Rick, and all the other crew allowed us to explore the city without the stress of driving! The Commodore Grill was really good, too. The food was hearty and filled you up, and it's convenient because it's right in the hotel lobby. Our favorite wait staff was Kerry and Ferdinand. They took the time to tell us where to go and even how to get there. They often came back to check on us for refills or whatever else we may need. There's also live entertainment there every night! Right across the street is Centennial Park with lots to see and do. Walking distance to many restaurants and local businesses. There's a very nice pool with plenty of seating and a nice size workout center. Even checking out was fast and simple with Keniah. This hotel has it all. We are already planning our next trip and this is absolutely where we will stay. Everyone made us feel very welcome! Can't wait to go again.

Shuttle downtown with dropoff/pickup at 5th and Broadway. Cheap to Uber too. Good breakfast buffet for a chain hotel buffet-always scrambled eggs, breakfast meats, grits, hot oatmeal, fresh fruit. Nice view of Parthenon from small balcony. Complementary tickets. Worth visiting. Walking distance to Parthenon, Vanderbilt, restaurants. Loved Commodores bar & restaurant in the hotel-live music every night. Locals bar restaurant across street was great for live music, drinks and delicious Salmon dinner(nice break from the BBQ). Beds/bedding comfy. Check out Printers Ally for music off Broadway-quieter. Don’t miss the bridge for best views and great park in front of Capitol Building.

I must say, this hotel has the best breakfast I have ever had for a hotel. It was so good. The waiters were all very nice. We used the shuttle to everyday to get to our different destinations and would just take a Lyft back to the hotel since it was so late or early depending on how you look at it ;) All the drivers were so nice and talkative. They were excellent drivers. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. Our room had a balcony and ws next to the elevator. For being right next to it, there was barely any foot traffic. But we requested the top floor so that is probably why. Unfortunately, we did not get to try the pool or gym. Our trip was to go hike and party for the majority of it. The hotel also had water and cucumber available. The cucumber water was delicious. We had some everyday. There was a night we got back and decided to play connect 4 and scrabble. We definitely had fun with that. My favorite part was that my car was safe the entire time.

We went through booking, Com and didn't get the wheelchair accessible room we needed, Holiday Inn moved or room immediately to meet our needs. However, there were only 2 wheelchair parking spots in the lot and never opened up to others that needed them. Instead, there were two rows of "diamond" parking spots there that were never filled. And my spouse had to unload and push me from the rear of the lot. The hotel had a fabulous restaurant with great entertainment within and less than half block walk to other fast food and nice sit-down restaurants. They offered shuttle to Vanderbilt Hospital which was why we were there. Only wish our wheelchair accessible room had some more room to move around more easily. Also wish they had more wheelchair accessible parking since they are such a valuable asset to Vanderbilt Hospital. Thanks Holiday Inn, your staff was great. Including the parking attends. Your costs were very good. So, you are very close to perfect for us.
