Hampton Inn & Suites Nashville-Vanderbilt-Elliston Place

I like the location and the property. Staff is very nice.

Location, sq ft of room, bed was firm.

Close to the hospital I needed to go to

Your staff was A-one.

Great staff.

Proximity to event we were attending and close enough to walk to place and not have to worry about paying to park.

Across the street from Vanderbilt, very convenient.

Location! Also, Tammy the breakfast supervisor, is wonderful! Very friendly and kept everything stocked up before anyone had to ask!!! Coffee included!

Plenty of choice for the breakfast. The place is convenient for Nashville.

Location

This hotel gets two stars and that is only on account of the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff (everyone was lovely during a very busy weekend) and its convenient location for Vanderbilt University. The accommodations otherwise would get zero.
My hotel room on the 7th floor did not have a phone, a clock, an iron or a hair dryer. It had towels and bedding (of questionable cleanliness) and was otherwise dirty and looked like it had been forgotten in time. I had to put towels on the sofa before I could sit on it or put any of my belongings on the furniture.
When I walked in, the desk/table had remnants of chapstick or some other sticky substance all over it. It definitely had not been cleaned between guests. I used my own antibacterial wipes to clean it and every other surface in the room. The bathroom had water damage surrounding the shower and the ceiling and also looked like it hadn't seen a cleanser in quite some time.
But all of that would have been forgivable had the room come with a blackout shade on the window. Instead, the room only had a roller shade for privacy and I woke up with the sun on each morning of my stay.
It was graduation weekend and the hotel was at capacity as was the staff, who all tried their best. Unfortunately, the crowded hotel meant that waiting for help at the front desk took forever. When the hotel was busy, waiting for the elevators could also take as long as 10 minutes, which was not okay. The crowds that would gather during that time meant that sometimes you would have to wait for another empty elevator so up to 15-20 minutes.
In general, this property clearly lacks oversight and is in desperate need of either a full room renovation or at least some basic updates. Even the lobby furniture is gross. Our family members staying on the 3rd floor had similar issues (not a single working phone) and found bugs in their rooms.
This is the third Hampton Inn I have stayed at in the last 3 weeks and was by far the worst. I am a Hilton Diamond member and paid $872 for two nights at this hotel. I would never stay here again (for convenience stay at the Holiday Inn across the street!) What a mess, Hilton. Do better.

Your typical Hampton stay. Front desk were friendly. Breakfast was borderline cold (it's free, whatever). Breakfast hint, it gets crowded. Go out the door near the waffles and sit outside. The room was fine but upon closer look the fridge cabinet was all funky and delaminating (it got wet at some point). The iron stopped working. The bed was fine. It was clean enough. The price was steep given the appointments. Typical Nashville weekend rates.

Location is close to Vanderbilt. Hotel was clean and quiet as it's not on the main street. Staff was helpful. Would stay again.

Breakfast was very good, though I would have enjoyed other fruit besides apples. Coffee and tea water could have been hotter.
