To be fair it's a 1 star hotel the room was large and clean. It was a Saturday night downtown so noise outside but not bad and served the purpose.

Very run down, linens were very thin and towels had bleach marks on them and were so thin you could hardly dry off. The bed was comfortable enough. Bathroom had a water leak and the floor was very wet. Understandably is an old building and inn and priced for that but not very clean overall

Dirty, dilapidated building with exposed wires, torn up drywall, graffiti and mold on the walls, cockeyed bed bug riddled beds and mattresses. Do not try to stay here.

Upgrade needed!!!!!
The first room I was assigned had cold air coming in from under the front door.
I was given another room, the TV was difficult to navigate the local channels.
No housekeeping performed for the duration of stay.
Location was very convenient.

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.

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.

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.

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!!!

Close enough to the major attraction to be ok
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)

Drake Motel granted isn't looking the best these days, and is the type of place where the soles of your feet turn black walking on the room floor, the walls could use a paint, and well the room isn't very clean. But I liked it there. And if they renovated or cleaned up there wouldn't be as many vacancies or as cheap prices.
You've got a country radio station playing 24hrs just through the entrance. It's a couple of minutes walk to many local bus stops including the route from the airport. The massive bed was really comfortable, it had a fridge, and Wi-fi wasn't bad.
