Great location

Hotel was clean and staff was very friendly. Only down fall was figuring out where to park/ valet. Then i was told it was $35, with fees and everything, it ended up costing almost $60 for valet parking.

HI Express Vanderbilt

New facility, good breakfast, very friendly staff, wish I could give higher rating, I like Holiday Inn Express. But our vehicle was broken into on first in the hotel parking garage. Spent next two days getting new window and cleaning up glass. Hard to feel safe after that. Housekeeping was spotty. Parking a real challenge, spaces too small and poorly designed. I understand they are going to valet parking which has to be better.
