Always good
Always enjoy Vanderbilt; room was great and clean. Breakfast is outstanding (even if the coffee could do with some work). Only drawback - shower needed some maintenance/refurbishment.

Not Great
My room was cold. The next day I got a new room and it was warmer. In the new room, the safe did not work, the lights on the end table were out and the room smelled dingy. The hotel bought me a drink for my trouble but I believe it had a $7 limit as I had to pay the difference since I chose makers mark. Lol

Overall good in the end
There were a few problems with our stay but to be fair it was handled brilliantly post stay so would definitely give the place another chance.

10/10 Exceptional

The staff were very helpful and sweet. They had a broken elevator during the stay, But they had a second one closer to my room. My room was tiny, even with the extra charge. I wish I knew so I could go a little larger still. Having said that, it was all very clean, very very comfortable. My bed had the best pillows, so cozy. Also the espresso machine was wonderful. And the bathtub was just right. The view was nice. I loved having the vouchers for the drinks. And the food was really good for breakfast and for lunch and dinner.
