This is a solid little place. 10/10 vibes. The in-room stations are great… never thought I’d hear a track from a James Marcel Stinson side project in a hotel. Docking a point from the room because the mini split only goes down to 68 and I like to keep the temp at “Ice Planet Hoth” levels while I sleep.

Nashville Gem!!
This is my third stay at the dive motel- every time has been a pleasure. The rooms are funky (retro! And very clean) and it’s really nice to have a little bar on site to grab a drink. Overall the vibes are excellent. The lobby is very helpful and responsive to texts and we had every thing we needed. Shout out to the excellent customer service- We had to make a last minute change and they were incredibly kind and accommodating.
Last thing I wanna mention is that this place is different in the summer months- pool is open to the public during the day. Something I wasn’t aware of during booking, so keep it in mind- summer months are gonna be more of a pool party and fall/winter is definitely more private and lowkey.
In any case, this place is a gem. We’ll definitely be back.

A Vibe
The Penthouse Room at Dive Motel was just the place to reconnect and rejuvenate for a weekend stay. Between the disco balls, the dual tubs and the floor level king bed you find yourself in a golden lit sanctuary for the senses. Definitely recommend for a weekend away

I absolutely loved the decor in my room only issue was that the lighting was kind of limited . Maybe adding a few brighter lights could be helpful for the getting ready aspect. Overall I enjoyed my stay !

100% worth every cent
This place is AMAZING. We actually kinda loved being in our room and on the property more than being in Nashville proper. If there were more food and coffee options within walking distance we probably wouldn't have driven anywhere at all. The playlists were amazing and the bar was great. The decor was awesome. Bed is clean and comfy. Absolutely going back there for our next visit.

The staff is really friendly and helpful. The hotel itself has some issues. When I first checked in, I noticed the room had a bad odor to it. I went to the front desk and asked if they had any other open rooms and was told "Is it a musty smell? yeah they all have that"... yuck. True, the second room also smelled. The room(s) I was given were also not the room I intended to book (the pink mural room) and the furniture is all really old/thrift store looking and there is a lot of dirt and debris in the corners. The bathroom is just paint on top of old tiles so it's chipping in a lot of places. There were some spiders. BUT, the biggest issue was the fact that loud music starts at 8 AM and plays at the pool all day long. It's impossible to sleep in or relax in the afternoon. I get it that it's fun at the pool... but what about the guests? Other plus was that parking was free, but I won't be returning.

The Dive Motel was absolutely fantastic. Stepping back in time with their curated 70s style rooms, complete with disco ball and dive radio. Not having a TV made us spend time in the moment together which is hard to come by these days. The staff was friendly and tentative to our needs. I loved their text system if we needed anything and when they were closing up each night. Comedy night was an absolute hit! It was within 10 mins of broadway, which made it very easy. My husband and I would definitely stay here again.
