The rooms are okay the king bed room is very nice. I was told two different prices on the phone and in person i think the communication between staff should be a little better. Everything was perfect other than that
The staff was friendly, we had a decent room for what we paid. The motel is located in a unsafe area. Had we known that we wouldn't of booked a room. We got woke up twice at 2 in the
morning by someone calling our room. The people staying in the room next to us were fighting into the early morning. It definitely is a cool motel with alot of history but it needs alot of work and wish the neighborhood was safe.
Will NEVER stay here again. Felt unsafe,terrible neighborhood to be in,the staff however were froendly. Tv didn't work. A lot of homeless people there and justblocks away from the projects.
Already reviewed this but since Wotif keeps bugging to do again I'll reiterate, it was a great comfortable place to stay. Sure the floors and other areas could do with a good deep clean then maybe a coat of paint on the walls, but hey they'd then be able to charge more so was glad they didn't as otherwise with no backpacker hostels in Nashville I wouldn't have had anywhere this good to stay. Also on the airport to central bus route.
Made the most and enjoyed my stay. Pleased with the customer service provided. Would stay at this motel whenever I'm attending an event nearby

Good Place to Stay
It's a quirky old motel but you can tell they have been updating the rooms. All the staff was really friendly and helpful and right on the bus line to get downtown so worked really well.
First of all they charged me more than my booking price on Expedia. Secondly, they gave me a DIRTY ROOM THAT HAD WATER LEAKING FROM BEHIND THE BED AND NEVER OFFERED ME A NEW ROOM. Employees were SOOOO rude to the poor maintenance guy. Bossing him around talking at him. The sink in the bathroom was coming off the wall. My shower head was hanging from the wall I thought it was going to fall on me. Outlets didn’t work and were also coming out of the wall which is a huge safety hazard. Third of all, they have loud music playing at the pool all night long which was right outside of my room and I could not sleep. This was overall the worst, most disgusting run town motel I have ever seen. They should be ashamed to be open for business and Expedia should remove them from their website. Absolutely disgusting excuse for a motel and a disgrace to Nashville’s name.
Its an older style facility, so keep that in mind when you visit.
The facility was quiet. Traffic on the main road could be noisy though.
Coin-operated Laundry facilities onsite which is handy.
Staff were nice & it was well priced.
This is a safe, budget friendly motel with great staff. Never had an issue on site or in the area and everything was a quick five/ten minute ride share away. Considering parking anywhere in the city is forty dollars, it saved a lot of money being able to park at the Drake.
Clean small rooms for cheap, very cute if you appreciate vintage places like we do

The staff at the Drake were very friendly! It is a great budget friendly option within a 10 minute Lyft ride from Broadway. Always see the party tractors driving by too! The room was in need of a deep cleaning, pull everything out and scrub the floor, but we didn’t go in expecting the Taj Mahal either. Will definitely stay here again, if I find myself in my new favorite city once more!!!
Sheets and bed were clean and comfortable although old. Room had been used in a video years ago so history there. Only 1 hot tub room and we pd extra for it for hot tub to be dirty and unusable. Feel some discount should have been offered especially when asking for a good review. Out of date yet cheap and friendly... Close to Broadway area (honky tonk area)
