The lady at the front desk was super helpful and friendly amazing customer service. Close to down town and was able to smoke.
It's affordable and great location, but cleaniness and upkeep of the place needs work.

The Drake Inn is a bit rundown - but it's what I expected of a 'vintage' hotel.
The staff were very helpful - and Lennie (from housekeeping) was the best!
It is a budget friendly stay, close to downtown. Staff is knowledgeable and welcoming.

The location is convenient, walkable shops and restaurants, bus routes nearby. It's affordable if you just need a place to stay for the basics, don't expect luxury at all or a perfect room. A lot of the lamps didn't have bulbs, but they gave me a few. Staff are pretty decent. Rooms could be cleaner. They seem to have some random woman they came across rushing to clean the rooms, but she's nice. The hot tub was what I needed, so it was kind of expensive for the type of hotel it is for that specific room, but the other rooms are more affordable. A certain caliber of people seem to stay there because it's affordable.

Basic room, beds ok, bathroom needed attention. No coffee in room or lobby. No decent local eateries. Dodgy area - especially at night !

The room was in good location for the price just needs to focus on the cleanliness and it would be a pretty nice place.
The lady at the desk was nice. Hot shower. Cheap and close to downtown. Thats all i can say nice about it. Id probably never stay again unless it was my only option in an emergency. Not really sure how its even still open with how run down it is
Staff was AMAZING....room was HORRIBLE. The entire floor was lifted (like a bubble), bathroom was filthy, the door wouldn't close, and there was duct tape holding the bathtub faucet in the wall.
Old, dirty and unsafe. The only good thing about this place is the location (close to downtown-5min) and the staff, they were nice and polite but never again here. I was a solo traveler and I just spent a night in here, it was enough. Overpriced for the room (80 bucks ) and the pool was dirty, I couldn’t get in it
The staff was amazing, my room very cute and cozy, comfy bed, quiet and peaceful despite being right in Nashville. Conveniently close to everything and a great rate, 10/10!
The motel was perfect for what we were looking for. It had a jacuzzi in the room..that was most important to us. The rooms were good.. only complaint I had was refrigerator didn't work..staff was friendly and it's very close to downtown..
