It was easy to check in and the location was perfect for our purpose

Nashville getaway

Great location clean.

10/10 Exceptional

Will be back again!! Super cute little hotel that is well decorated and in a great location. I loved the vibe. The Sunflower cafe is one of my all time favorite restaurants and it’s right behind the hotel. This is a major plus to me and almost makes this tiny little budget motel feel like a destination vacation!
Megan, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good stay

Our stay was fine. Check in was easy. Everthing was clean and neat. No frills kind of place. Could use somemore outlets. But overall nice for the price

Good price for close hotel to downtown

Good price for close proximity and easy Uber ride to downtown.
William, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Narrow parking area. Bird droppings all over car. Shower handle broken. NO IRON!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No access to ice. Needs inroom microwave. The coffee maker is a keurig. Plenty of room for storage and to spread out. Convenient location to downtown
Jana, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I was in a King Room off the back of the building. Room was well appointed and clean. The air conditioner needed to be adjusted but the overall temperature was maintained all night. The air conditioner itself was a little loud but it provided white noise. This hotel is an excellent value and I would stay there again. Most Nashville hotels charge at least $30 for overnight parking.

Location was great for taking an Uber to Broadway.

You get what you pay for. Bring your own pillow!

Very basic, but clean, and cheap. They definitely need some tweaking on a few things: Beds were very firm. Pillows were thin and flimsy. AC unit was so loud we had trouble falling and staying asleep. Shower curtain rod was overextended or bent to the point that the curtain would not remain closed.

Brief stay in Nashville at the Iris

Very clean, easy to access, and affordable. Guests walking on 2nd level were pretty loud so thinking the experience would be better up there compared to 1st floor. Pillows were lumpy and could use an upgrade. Otherwise, I had everything I needed for my short stay.

This is the second time we have stayed here at the Iris and it’s becoming our go-too motel when we visit Nashville!

Iris Motel

I actually liked the Iris Motel more than I thought. It was comfortable and clean. I was unsure about not having someone at the front desk but it didnt make a difference. The only thing I didn't like was how close it was to the road. There was a pothole that every dump truck hit. It was pretty loud and woke me up a few times. Other than that it was great! The Common Ground restaurant was fantastic!
Angela, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The Iris was a very cleaning motel. The staff was super helpful. Highly recommend.
Patricia, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a water leak in our room when we arrived. We contacted the staff and they put us in a different room quickly! They were so accommodating and supportive! I will definitely stay there again!
Lauren, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Clean and affordable in a great location- note, no microwave in room, but there is a fridge and a microwave to use in the lobby.
Surbhi, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The access code upon arrival did not work. Checkout reminders even before check-in are in poor taste. No better or worse than an average room anywhere. Sticky floor, broken shower, but clean room, convenient location.
Rajesh, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent place to stay!!
Amelia, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

I love this business model! You stay without having to see or interact with anyone. The room had several thoughtful touches. With more small touches, this would be a great place to stay! There’s nothing wrong with it as is, for just a quick overnight, but I probably wouldn’t return. More specifically, the tv is too small, the bed is adequate but nothing more, the internet (and cell service) are terrible.
Janie, 1-night trip

Safe, clean and quiet. Did not need anything more...it was great for the money we paid.

We stayed on the 2nd floor and the smoking area was right in front of our door.
