"Adjacent to the Gaylord Entertainment Complex and Country Music Hall of Fame, this comparatively docile establishment is just steps away from Nashville's prime downtown attractions." Full review

"A classic 1940s motel, where scores of stars, including Dolly Parton and Elvis Presley, once stayed, the Drake Motel draws attention these days because of its hard-luck vibe and nostalgia-inducing neon sign: the 1993 movie The Thing Called Love, starring River Phoenix and Sandra Bullock, and the video for Jason Aldean's song "The Truth" were both filmed here" Full review
