Expert reviews:

Frommer's

"With the Vanderbilt University football stadium right outside this 12-story hotel's back door, it isn't surprising that this is a favorite with Vanderbilt alumni and football fans." Full review

If you ask for a room on the park side of the hotel, you may be able to see the Parthenon from your room.

Gayot

"Offering 300 rooms and over 5,000-square-feet of meeting space, this large, 13-floor hotel makes it clear what kind of traveler it caters to."

Oyster

Mid-Range

"The three-pearl Holiday Inn Nashville-Vanderbilt (Downtown) is conveniently located between Vanderbilt University and Centennial Park -- and offers free shuttle service to downtown." Full review

Lonely Planet

"All rooms in this chain hotel come with microwaves and mini-fridges... busy business travelers pretty much have no need to leave." Full review

Ask for a room with a park view - if you're high enough you'll be able to see the faux Parthenon in the center.
