My stay was better than I anticipated! The room was clean and spacious, and the shower was warm, which I really appreciated after a long day. The staff was friendly and helpful, especially during check-in. However, I wished there had been a hair dryer available in the room. The pricing was excellent for what I received, so it’s a great value for anyone on a budget.

The hotel gives off a serious 1970s vibe, with country music memorabilia that's seen better days. While the room I stayed in was clean and the maid service was top-notch, the overall atmosphere felt outdated and a bit melancholic. The location is decent with easy access to downtown, but the area itself has a few shady characters. If you're looking for nostalgia without luxury, it might be worth a visit, but don't expect a high-end experience.

The hotel has its charm, especially with its vintage feel and clean rooms, but several aspects could definitely use improvement. The bathroom issues and noise from the heater were quite bothersome. However, I still enjoyed the overall experience, particularly due to the exceptional service from the staff and the pleasant pool area, making it a decent option for budget travelers in Nashville.

The Drake Inn offers a unique experience with its retro charm and comfortable accommodations at a reasonable price. While the neighborhood might give some pause, I found the rooms to be clean and well-kept. The service was exceptional, and I enjoyed my overall stay.

The Drake has a nostalgic charm, with clean and comfortable rooms reminiscent of a bygone era. The staff was pleasant, and the maid service was exceptional. However, the neighborhood felt a bit sketchy, which might deter some travelers, and some amenities listed were not available in the rooms.

My experience at the Drake Motel was concerning, to say the least. While I found the room clean and had a decent shower, the overall atmosphere felt unsafe. There were too many shady characters around, and I was genuinely worried for my safety. The pricing is reasonable for the condition of the hotel, but I wouldn't recommend it for families or anyone traveling alone, especially at night.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The room was spacious and fairly comfortable, but there were several maintenance issues that need addressing.

I jumped into an unexpected Nashville visit for the total solar eclipse and opted for the Drake Inn. The price was a huge plus, especially considering many places were way out of my budget. The motel has that nostalgic charm of an older property with clean and comfy rooms, but don't expect luxury. The only downsides were some issues in the room and basic amenities. Overall, it's a solid choice for budget travelers looking for something with character.
