We recommend Uber. If you drive from out of town, leave your car at the hotel and use Uber to get around. If you choose to drive to Vanderbilt, the nearest parking garage is Wesley Place Garage, $15/day.
There are many hotel options in Nashville. We have a slight discount at the Embassy Suites next to campus for $199/night (expires 2/8). Your team might also consider an AirBnB house.
