I just returned from a weekend visit (my son’s a freshman) and have to say how pleasantly surprised I was with the Hilton Garden Inn Vanderbilt. I’ve stayed a number of times at the nicer (and pricier) hotels near Vandy like the Marriott and Loews, but there was limited availability at the last minute so we went with the Hilton Garden Inn.

It was great–clean, basic rooms, free coffee, cookies and fruit out during the day and most importantly, the staff was excellent and very accommodating. They also told me about the Vanderbilt Parents’ Club…if you join and stay at this hotel or the new Hilton owned-Homewood Suites or the Home2Suites (all near Vandy), you get 15% off your stay. Could be helpful if she decides to attend and there’ll be more frequent visits :).
