Holiday Inn Nashville-Vanderbilt (Dwtn), an IHG Hotel

Great shuttle service‼️ Both nights of our stay we used the free shuttle service down to Broadway. Jason, our shuttle driver, was very professional and punctual. You could really tell that he enjoys his job. It is rare to find employees with a great attitude when dealing with the public all day, but his enthusiasm and energy was infectious. We are planning a return to Nashville next month with friends and will DEFINITELY be staying here again.

I am regularly in Nashville on business and, out of all of the hundreds of hotels in the city, this hotel has become my go-to. The rooms are consistently clean and the staff are always friendly and accommodating. However, the real unsung heroes at this location are the folks who work in the business office. I'm a government employee who utilizes direct billing for overnight stays, which can (and has) at many hotels quickly become a nightmare. I've been staying regularly at this hotel for going on 5 years now and my billing has been flawless without exception. The staff in the accounting office are friendly, efficient, and responsive and I have come to rely on and appreciate them so much. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a good central location in the metro Nashville area.

My fiancé and I celebrated our 6 year anniversary and we stayed here. The staff is so kind, professional, friendly etc. They let us checkout at 2pm instead of 11am. They restaurant inside the hotel was so darn delicious. The hotel was peaceful, quiet and the housekeepers were so respectful of our privacy. This will most definitely be our go to hotel whenever we travel up to Nashville again. We had a blast.

A good room at a fair price. The rooms were clean and modern, and the mattresses were comfortable. The location was incredible - across from Centenial Park and a ton of walkable restaurants nearby. 5 minutes to Vanderbilt hospital, and about the same to downtown. Kind and friendly staff who were willing to help us through some tricky schedules. Parking is in the back and was reasonable. A restaurant is attached to the lobby but didn't visit it.

Enjoyed our stay and used this Holiday Inn as our resting point. We were able to get downtown with the FREE shuttle; JIM BO is a great guy and we could talk with him all day about his past life as a songwriter. Ferdinand was AWESOME as a server in the Commodore restaurant. Breakfast is not included for free. You can purchase a coupon ahead of time, we opted out. We ordered off the menu as it was fresher and hotter than off the buffet and we got what we wanted. Close to the Parthenon and Centennial Park. We chose this as it was close to THE LOCAL--if you've never been, you must go. Great staff, and fantastic live music. Front desk staff and bellhops were always courteous and very easy to chat with.

I started this review probably a half hour ago or so, had to leave it for a while to take a phone call. While I was finishing the review after returning from the call, the on-line app timed out and lost all of my previous comments. I had written pretty extensively about the stay and not pleased that the app cut it off without saving the previous draft. Please change this. This hotel is in a very good location about a little over 2 miles from downtown Nashville on Broadway. The hotel has a 7:30AM to 11:30PM shuttle service which is great. Drops you at Broadway and 7th avenue. We stayed during off season, but this service would be even more valuable in high tourist seasons when parking is hard to find or very expensive in downtown Nashville. The hotel has writers' night performances every day which is a benefit to music lovers. It's in the main level dining and bar area. The food was very good, and we included breakfast in our reservation and was good value for the money. The staff in these areas was also excellent We were on a 4600-mile driving trip staying at IHG hotels during most of the trip. I have also been an IHG and Holiday Inn member for longer than IHG has existed. I think going back to the 1980s or 90s. I have traveled to 35 countries staying mostly at IHG hotels or Courtyard Marriot hotels so have a fairly decent idea of what is offered at most hotels. The Nashville hotel was the smallest room on our trip. Still comfortable but a little squeezed. It also had the smallest refrigerator and microwave oven found on the trip. This is likely not important to those flying in and staying a night, but we traveled with perishables that needed to be refrigerated on a nightly basis and was good for some restaurant leftovers as well. The nicest room on our trip was a Candlewood in Valdosta GA. It came with a full-size refrigerator with ice maker, cook top, large microwave and lots of space in a well-appointed room. Parking was not included in our basic reservation. IHG members should be sure to click on the Parking Available link to find the cost is $14 per night additional. This is pretty standard for the area and not awful, but I noted they had lots of parking spaces available and any person that wished to steal or do harm to vehicles could still simply walk through the down bar at the entrance or exit to gain access to vehicles. The parking lot was well lit and we had no problem, but I see the $14 additional as a way to hold down the room cost slightly in the booking phase. Overall, we would recommend this hotel. It is an excellent location and has a restaurant, bar, coffee bar, and other amenities that travelers would appreciate. All staff were also excellent.

We really enjoyed our stay. The staff was super friendly and the food was excellent at the Commodore Grille. Live music every night was very cool. The place was nicely kept and the bed was very comfortable. They also had a shuttle service that ran every 30 minutes to take you downtown although there were many attractions within walking distance.

Every single employee was friendly, helpful had great communication and customer service. The maintenance men and kitchen staff were even helpful. The front desk staff was beyond friendly and caring. The rooms were very clean. The hotel was very nice. Decorated to the Nashville scene. Was great location from the hospital.
