Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
The room was in good location for the price just needs to focus on the cleanliness and it would be a pretty nice place.
When we arrived, they had decided one of my reservations was a duplicate, so they only had one room. The room did not have a functioning toilet. Although they refunded most of my money, they kept close to $97. I would not recommend this hotel. The price was very close to the same as the very nice hotel where we ended up staying.
The pool was green, the area unsafe, horrible noise, AC unit was super loud and off when you get there so it was extremely hot for first few hours, toilet moved when you sat on it, bed sheets were itchy, floor turned your feet black, tub had mold and just looked unclean.
The pool water is green, so the pool's not safe to swim in during my visit. The uh bathtub, it was filthy. So I did not use the tower shower, and there were bugs in the room as well as I could see. Quite a bit of daylight under the room door so I had to stuffed towels under the door to ensure my privacy

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.
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..
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 lady on reception was incredible!!!! So friendly, helpful and accommodating, she even used her personal uber account to order us a taxi when mine wouldn’t work….her English accent was great too!!! We’ll definitely come back!
There were cockroaches and the place was filthy. They messed up the reservation and only charged me for one night. I told this upon them in check-in and they said they would fix it. They never fixed it and after 1 night, they told me I needed to check out even though it was their mistake. They gave me an opportunity to pay for another night but I went

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Staff and service was wonderful. Older building but charming and close to downtown Nash.
The immediate neighborhood isn't too good, but that's not what I was there for -- as I said it's close to everything downtown and THAT is what I was there for. :)
I'd stay at the Drake again for sure.

Pleasant stay
Pleasant stay.
Room had a slight smell of previos smoker
We were in a renovated king room. It was ok, still showed the age of the hotel but was clean enough.
The staff we encountered at check in was very kind. The staff after that was rigid an unhelpful.
Traffic is very loud along the main street (not the fault of the hotel, but something to note in any case).
Go into this with the understanding that you get what you pay for!
