Frommer's "One of the busy airport area's more unique properties is this 11-story boutique hotel that takes pride in offering quirky perks such as in-room lava lamps, pet fish, rubber duckies, and art kits." Full review
Concierge "This boutique hotel is drenched in over-the-top decor: red leopard-print pony-skin walls, purple lava lamps, and live (!) goldfish in the bedrooms."
Star Service "In what would be an odd development in any city, this is a hip boutique-style hotel situated by the airport." Full review

Views to choose: pool over parking lot.
Gayot "While the unimpressive exterior of this building reflects its Clarion and Radisson hotel roots, the interior is actually quite attractive."

To make the stay unique, request board games, a lava lamp, or a beta fish for company at the front desk.

Complimentary breakfast may be too much to ask for at these rates, but you can expect free java.
Frommer's "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
