Retro Fun
I was part of a group of 6 staying for a long weekend. We purposely picked this motel for the aesthic. We arrived Thursday just ahead of Hurricane Helena. Brandy Lynn and the rest of the staff were amazing. They made sure we had everything we needed and were happy to provide recommendations for places to eat. The motel bar had comedians on Thursday and swing dance lessons with a live band on Friday night, which was a fun surprise. The rooms were comfortable and clean. We were aware there were no TVs in the room when we booked and we were good with that. We did not plan on spending much time in our rooms anyway. With the storm rolling through we did spend more time than anticipated at the motel but we made the best of it and played cards in the common areas. I would recommend if you are looking for something other than your normal boring hotels.

The property itself is spectacular, exactly as advertised, and if you get the chance to be there for "swing night" it is a 'do not miss' experience. Unfortunately, I was there during a tropical storm, so I did not get to use the pool at all, but it looked like great fun. There is almost nothing immediately near the property (I walked a couple miles in each direction, there are not even sidewalks) so be sure you are comfortable taking transportation to activities.

Very unique and fun stay. Really enjoyed my room and if I was twenty years younger, would have enjoyed the pool as well. Also really liked the bar and the staff were super awesome. If you want something more then just a place to rest your head, this is a great place to stay.

This place was like stepping into the grooviest time capsule ever. Because it is a period piece it will have certain natural limitations… Sound insulation for instance, but it is absolutely worth a visit. Excellent communication from the staff who are lovely people. I will be back.

Really fun spot to stay and hangout! The property has been renovated, so it's 'old'. The pool was great, the rooms are lovely, the beds are very comfortable, and the staff was really accommodating. My group is planning to come back next year.

The Dive has a fun aesthetic; we loved the party switch and 70s vibes. There is a comedy show on Thursday night in the bar; and we were surprised to even get a token for a free drink. The lights in the room were quite dim, and we had some issues with condensation from the mini fridge leaving some puddles on the floor. The blinds were also broken and we had to put socks in them so people couldn’t see in. Overall a super fun place to stay, we had a great time and the vibes were exactly as expected!

If you are in the Nashville area and do not stay here at least once you are doing yourself an injustice. I stay all over and this is the quirkiest and cleanest place in the area. I have stayed in luxe trendy hotels downtown. If you are looking at Virgin or the Moxy check these guys out first. Cannot wait to come back. Staff is incredibly friendly. Cannot say enough good things.

You should review the events calendar on the property website before booking your stay. We were not able to use the pool because it was so crowded. That’s our fault for not checking, but also a helpful tip for others.

Cute but definitely VINTAGE. Room smelled like dog and/or frat party. Pool was far too busy from day visitors (non-guests) to use on arrival and closed too early, extremely noisy. One hour pool time reserved for guests 9-10am was taken up by water aerobics class.

My wife and I just got back from a 4 day stay at the dive motel and we couldn’t have been happier! The room was clean, super unique, and such a cool place to stay. The pool was excellent and so was the rest of the place. The staff could not have been nicer! We hated to leave and will definitely be visiting again!!!
