My friend and I just wanted a cheap room close to downtown for one night. We debated for thirty minutes on even going in when we arrived to the parking lot, and once we checked in and got to our room, we checked right back out. There were so many "rough" people around the motel and the entire surrounding area,... more

This motel is awful for the price you pay! We paid $220 for 3 nights! and it was awful! There were stains all over the sheets, there were holes in the wall and there were insects everywhere! It was gross! You couldn't walk to downtown from here you had to get a bus or taxi...and the area was so dodgy!... more

After a night of partying at an adult nightclub, my girlfriend and I (we are in our late 30s) met up with another couple who had been out with us at the same nightclub. They had gotten the room with free miles from their credit card. The Drake's apparent run down exterior did not disappoint when we were inside. Run... more

I actually lived at the Drake for a while a few years ago, ( a young and naive lone foreign female traveler) it was pretty rough but I really enjoyed it, honestly! I was told by the locals that if I wanted to catch the bus to stand down the road and wave to the driver....if you stood at the... more

I read some of the other reviews posted so before my wife and I check inn we asked to see the room and found it to be suitable for the price. There is staff on duty 24 hours and security. We wanted to know what "stars stayed there" and we learned that Brooks & Dunn as well as Cheryl Crow... more

My 14-year old son and I were scanning the Tennessee motel coupon guide -- Nashville section -- because we couldn't find a hotel room downtown. The Drake is only a few miles from downtown, we had a coupon for $39 per night and it is "The Motel of the Stars". How could we go wrong?? I can put up with... more

The signage for The Drake states that it's where the Stars go. I seriously can't imagine that any stars with a rating highter then M actually stay here! The room we stayed in stunk of cigarettes. All night long there were visitors to the room next door. I have a strong suspicion that our neighbours were involved in the narcotics... more

Stayed a week for CMT - Music Festival and had the best time of my life @ this historic site! Wonderful nostalgic motel, which takes you back in time by at least 30 years! Friendly stuff, especially the "head" - house keeper, which was extremely helpul to us. On the huge 60's neon sign it says: "STAY WHERE THE STARS... more
