"My wife and I rented a king suite to visit one of our kids at nearby Vanderbilt University, and the location was great because it’s just across the street from the edge of campus. The kitchen & living room areas were very nice with a microwave, cooktop, and full size fridge that all seemed new or in great condition. The bedroom and bathroom were very nice and also seemed in like-new condition."

"Great location. Solid gym for this level hotel. Staff friendly. We were there at a very busy time (Vanderbilt move-in), but room cleaning was very slow, and in our suite, they cleaned one room but not the other. There were no blankets for pullout sofa. Elevator broke. Would give it another shot at a less hectic time!"
