Good Hotel, Expensive Valet Fee

Nice hotel, close to Vanderbilt Univ. and other venues. The overnight valet is $62.00. A bit overpriced.

The location is great however there was working going on right outside our room that went on till 5pm. The air conditioning woke us up all night every time it kicked on . An extremely loud noise . All Night I was charged twice for a room . After I got home and discovered, I called hotel and they did correct it. Having to pay 50.00 for mandatory Valet parking was not good! They also charged me twice for parking . It was also correct or at least I was told it would be . I’ll have to wait and see if the charges are removed from my credit card. We have used this Hotel numerous times over the years, but I will not stay here again. Very disappointing especially since it is a very good location .

Saved our trip.

We arrived in Nashville on Friday, July 18th, at about 11:15 PM. We were originally staying at another hotel. When we? Arrived and walked in. We had reservations but by this point it was 1130 and we didn't have any options. We were going to try and make the best of it. Unfortunately, upon entering our other hotel room, we knew we had to get out. So at 4 in the morning, I called our family that lives in Nashville to see if we could somehow stay there until we could get in to another hotel. I made the reservation here and called the hotel and they were beyond kind. They said for a fee, if a room was ready. I could pay for an early Check-in. Upon arriving, our room was not yet clean. But they put a rush on it and waved the Check-in fee after hearing our ordeal. They offered vouchers towards breakfast and dinner. They gave us a room that had access to a lounge with free amenities. The staff was kind understanding and went above and beyond to be helpful. They saw 2 parents who had been up for over 24 hours trying to make sure that their kids were safe in a spot that was clean and healthy and managing to get a family of 4 ready for an event in an hour's time. To say that the staff of this hotel saved our trip would be spot on. The hotel is clean has several amenities and several restaurants and sites within walking distance. If you ever find yourself in the national area, this is a great centrally located hotel with amazing staff.

Disappointed in parking situation

The parking or lack there of was an issue for us. We were told to park on the street or pay $62 for valet. There was no parking at this hotel! If you parked anywhere near, you got a parking ticket. Marriott, do better. I didn’t pay $275 a night to park my car on a narrow street under construction.

Clean, quiet, modern, and safe!!! Loved that it was across the street from the park and the Parthenon! Some walkable food options as well. The mandatory valet parking is nice but pretty pricey at $60 a day! The valet guys are super nice and quick, and you can request your car from your phone so we rarely waited longer than a minute for our car. We would stay here again!
