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 !

Loved our stay!!

So fun! Employees were very helpful. Loved that they kept you informed of everything through text. Rooms were very clean. Mattress was comfortable but the bed was a little saggy in the middle. The only other complaint is that I wish there was a full length mirror on the back of the bathroom door. Loved the bar. Too cold to swim but it looked like fun! The music and the disco ball were fun in the room. Off the beaten path and the area isn’t the greatest, but we never felt unsafe. No tv which was fine with us. Who’s going to watch tv in Nashville anyway?! We loved it and will definitely be back! Would like to try one of the penthouses next time!

Overall it was a great place to stay without kids. The room was clean and fun with the disco ball/party switch. My wife and I are both old enough to remember seeing motels like this as kids and we especially got a good laugh from the bathroom decor. Reminded us both of visiting our grandparents back in the 80's. Was a little confusing at first as the front desk is inside the restaurant but just took a few minutes to figure all that out. The weather was cold during our stay so we didn't go anywhere near the pool but imagine relaxing there would have been great on a warmer day. Our only real criticism, and it's not something the Dive can really do anything about, is the area around it. There is nothing within walking distance so any food required a drive. Not a big deal but just something to think about if you are getting there late and hungry.

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.

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

Super cool spot to stay for a night, but poor lighting and lack of amenities makes it difficult to stay comfortably for numerous nights. There’s a mini fridge but nowhere to store or set anything on. No iron. We literally went and bought lightbulbs to temporarily replace what was in the room. Staff was awesome and the bar was great

If you are looking for a seedy, nostalgic, classic motel you see in those 1970's movies, this is your place! It's decked out in wood paneled walls, pink bathroom and furniture from that era - and includes a Disco ball in each room. It was cool that they had swanky music playing in the room when we arrived. Bed was comfortable. That's where the excitement ends! The rooms are quite small compared to the pics on the website. There is VERY LITTLE lighting in the room. After dark you need a flashlight just to look in your suitcase. Cement floors. No place to sit your items. No amenities in the room such as a coffee pot or microwave -- OH -- but they make sure you have a tray full of condoms, lubricant gel and a vibrator for purchase right at your bedside! This is a one nighter motel, at best, only for the experience with the decor.

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.

It was a great atmosphere! We will be back. There was no clothing storage so we had to put our clothes on the ground. Otherwise, great place and not far from downtown.
