DRAKE INN, Nashville

The Drake Inn is situated just blocks from the airport, making it convenient for late arrivals or early departures. Downtown Nashville is a 45-minute walk or 10 minutes by bus or rideshare. Immediate area dining includes Sonic Drive-In, Wendy's, and Joey's House of Pizza (all within 0.5 km), plus Carol Anne's soul food across the street. The neighborhood has a mix of commercial and light industrial uses, with some transient activity. Free parking is available on-site.

Accommodation consists of standard motel rooms. The property has undergone partial renovation, but conditions vary widely. Many rooms have reported problems: pest infestations (bed bugs, cockroaches), broken fixtures (doors, lamps, electrical outlets), stained linens, dirty floors, and malfunctioning appliances (air conditioning, microwave, refrigerator). Some units include an in-room jacuzzi, but its functionality is inconsistent. Ongoing renovations aim to improve overall condition.

There is no restaurant or breakfast service on the property. Within a short walk you will find Sonic Drive-In, Wendy's, and Joey's House of Pizza. Carol Anne's soul food is directly across the street. For a wider selection, downtown Nashville offers many dining options.

The spa and wellness centre includes a pool and spa area, but the pool is frequently green and dirty, and the spa may be non-functional. The in-room jacuzzi, present in some rooms, may also be broken or poorly maintained. The outdoor pool area has lighting and seating, but overall the facilities are not reliable.

The property offers free Wi-Fi in public areas, a 24-hour front desk, on-site coin laundry, and ample free parking. Some rooms include a microwave and mini-fridge, but these may not always work. Security has been a concern in the parking lot and surrounding area. Cancellation incurs a $25 fee. Check-out is strictly at 11:00 am. Renovations are ongoing and may cause temporary inconvenience.
