Drake Inn

This is a tough one. The staff was okay but, you can see they are into a routine and have all become equally lazy. You can tell they never check a room. Why do I know this? When we checked into our room there were three large dead (luckily) cockroaches on our floor. One by the trash can and two more - legs up - in the middle of both the bathroom and the main room. A simple walk through before check in would have taken care of that. The air con barely worked. I set the temperature at check in (4-ish) to 63 degrees to take away from the near 90 degrees outside more than six hours later (returning from a concert at after midnight) - the room was still warm. We had to sleep on top of the sheets to be able to sleep. Hotel lamp switches didn't work - it was always on. With no lampshade - you had to screw the lone lightbulb in to get any additional light and then unscrew a extremely hot light bulb to turn the light off. The plug was deep behind the middle of the bed. The plugs for charging in the lamp base - didn't work. We found plugs by the desk to charge. Curtains were old and starting to ruin - hanging from missing curtain hooks. Floor was so dirty (thank god it wasn't carpet) - My feet got dirty walking from the shower to the bed to put my socks on. I went and got new towels and used a towel to stand on the next morning after my shower to ensure my feet stayed clean. I will be posting reviews with pictures on other sites.

It was abso

On the positive side: 1. Friendly and helpful staff 2. Very convenient location that is not far from the airport and the Grand Ole Opry. It is also on a bus line that runs frequently to the downtown area. Bus fare is quite reasonable: $2 for adults and $1 for seniors. On the negative side: Our first room was a mess, with 3 dead roaches, no means to hang clothes, limited space for folded clothes, and it looked nothing like the rooms shown on Hotels.com. After complaining to the office, we were assigned a different room. It was better, but not as represented on Hotels.com. 1. The head part of the mattress declined about 10 inches; so when getting into bed, your head tilted down and back. Hardly comfortable. 2. The shower floor was tiled in stones, which was very uncomfortabe. One felt like you were walking on a stony beach. 3. We were told they were in the process of renevation.

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

Nothing stood out but the price

Honestly don’t listen to the reviews! Such a great motel

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.

Unfortunately it’s in a high crime area

Stunning. Sabrina, the front desk lady was very nice and helpful. I’ve stayed here about 5 times and I love it every time.

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
