The staff was nice but the rooms are really old and outdated. The pool didn't look very clean. Spend 10-20 bucks more a night and stay nearby.

You get what you pay for. Lamps didn’t have shades or bulbs. Light switches everywhere but turned on nothing. Smoke detector on wall was covered with a plastic bag. All outlet covers were hanging off the wall with loose sockets so nothing could be plugged in. Toilet handle had to be held down for minutes before it would flush and then plug with barely anything in it. Front door when shut and locked you could see outside still from the entire right side of door.

The desk clerk was very friendly and helpful, checking in went very smooth. Unfortunately the hotel room was very bad. There were rips and duck tape on the curtains and the mattress was incredibly dirty, the pool was green and cloudy. Won’t be staying here again

I liked the location and since it was my first time to Nashville, I wanted to stay here because some of the legendary musicians had stayed there. The manager was really nice. I did not like the room, I was expecting it to be a very updated and clean room.

Very tired motel in an unsavoury location

I was looking for a traditional American motel experience and I guess I kind of got it. Drake Inn was clean however the property was very tired, holes in the curtains, wires hanging over door frames, TV didn’t work, smelt very strongly of cigarettes and was in a very unsavoury area! I had 3 night booked but only stayed for 2 as I was advised by various locals it’s not somewhere I should be staying as a solo traveller. Location was only 10mins from downtown but not safe.

3 words, WTheck The bed was sunk in, the bathroom had bugs, the TV only worked with the buttons on the tv. Not the remote. Yellow stains on the pillow, The toilet bolts were lose and tmade the bathroom smell like sewer gas, the vanity was broken. Pillows were like bricks. A/C was crazy loud. Ladies of the night everywhere. The only coffee maker in the lobby was broken. STAY FAR FAR AWAY FROM THE DRAKE
