The Dive Motel and Swim Club

Most magical place and people that I ever met and stayed at. And I've been around the world. Like staying at a rooftop motel in Hollywood but it's on the ground and more private. The weekend entertainment was incredible too. If you don't understand vintage this might not be the place for you because this is the core of vintage places, it's a portal.

FUN! The Dive Motel was such a fun experience. The 70s theme is carried throughout. It’s an easy and accepting place that will just make you smile. If you have any connection to the era of peace of love The Dive Motel is a must visit. The location on Dickerson Pike is not the most desirable however, this seems to be the “East Nashville” of 20 years ago. New businesses, homes, etc popping up everywhere. My two star of the location will surely change in the future. But know that we felt extremely safe and didn’t worry about a thing. The whole place is surrounded by a big fence so it’s very private for its own guests. The staff were just amazing and friendly. The communication pre and post visit via text was appreciated. The whole place just has a vibe. Themed rooms, bar, just every detail makes you think you’ve gone back in time. Most clientele we encountered were probably in their late 20s/early 30s. We are a couple decades ahead of that but didn’t feel out of place at all. We lived this era and appreciate it! Everything was incredibly clean and well-maintained. I would recommend The Dive Motel over and over. Just a great experience.

This was an entire vibe. Loved it, however for the price- turn down service would have been great. We stayed 3 nights and would have loved a room freshen up each day.

Absolutely the best place to stay in Nashville! We had so much fun there! Bailey was an absolute blast. Every one who worked there was great actually. Can’t wait to go back!

Staff was very welcoming from check in to check out. Brings you waaaaay back in time. Loved the nostalgia !

Such a cool spot to stay. Nicely fenced in and beautiful lawn. My fur babies loved running in the yard. Beds were comfy, and the vibe was great!

Absolute gem. Time capsule. Funky. It was amazing. Pictures don’t do it justice. The staff were awesome people to work with. Can’t imagine staying anywhere else if I’m coming back to Nashville.

Housekeeping did our room once during a 4-night stay, and that was only after we asked them to. Pool was fairly dirty and completely unheated. Bar open very limited hours. In an area with no other bars/nightlife, so that’s understandable. The aesthetic is very charming and a hipster’s paradise. Nice to stay outside of the downtown area and where there are no children. This place has a lot of potential, and for a lot of people it’s clearly a favorite.

Aesthetically amazing, the motel was great. The no outside food or drink policy was a bit silly, especially since the food was little to none and I have a food allergy. Staff was very pleasant, no one went above and beyond but it is the slow season so we seemingly had the place to ourselves and there was little staff around.
