Frommer's "If you're an adventure seeker who's not afraid to bed down in a sketchy part of town, go for it. If not, there's no harm in stopping by the lobby for a quick look-see." Full review
Gayot "Doing Nashville on a super-duper budget."

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

Frommer's "Built in 1900 and housed in the Romanesque Gothic former Union Station railway terminal, this hotel is a grandly restored National Historic Landmark." Full review

Be sure to take advantage of the hotel's valet parking.
Concierge "It's worth staying at Union Station for the architecture alone... but the location is nothing to scoff at either."
i
Avoid lower-level rooms with windows facing the parking lot: Noise from the valet station and beer hall next door is likely to rouse light sleepers.
