Hampton Inn Nashville Vanderbilt

Originally I thought the Hampton Inn at the center of the city charged for parking. But I was wrong - there was a charge for valet parking but not for self parking - at least according to the sign we saw outside the next day (photo 4). So this was the next best place.

We got there before three as I originally thought I would take a city tour. But the traffic was so terrible that we decided just to go to the hotel. And then they said they could not give us the room for 45 minutes so I spent my time in the lobby writing on the computer, and Bob read the paper. The whole place was full of high school students and their parents - I guess doing college visits.

On the way back from dinner, I took a photo of the hotel from across the street and it turned out like one of those modern posters. Lime green. pale blue and white building (really beige), aqua tree trunk and orange leaves/flowers.
