10/10 Excellent

Location was great for taking an Uber to Broadway.
cynthia, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

Basic no frills clean room. Just what we needed
Steven, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

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

6/10 Okay

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

10/10 Excellent

A boutique motel. Plentiful dining options nearby. Clean property and rooms. Easy check in.

10/10 Excellent

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.

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

8/10 Good

Need more restaurants
Kil Yung, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

Conveniently located, but furniture was very basic- like someone screwed in pieces of plywood to form a headboard then stuck light behind it. Looked much better in pictures than in person.
Carmen, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

I liked that we didn’t have to check in at a desk. Everything went smoothly, no problems getting into our room. Our room was fine, very basic, and interestingly renovated using inexpensive materials and decor. It’s not a luxury hotel, but it’s decent. My only complaint was the shower curtain rod was not secured properly so the curtain kind of fell open a bit allowing water to splash out. Also, I showered before bed and had forgotten to pack socks or slippers. By the time I got into bed the bottoms of my feet were dirty.
Judith, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

It's so cute!

This hotel was so cute. It was super easy to communicate with the staff, parking was easy and well lit. It was easy to get into and out of the room, and the code worked flawlessly. I can't speak to the lobby or any of the other aspects of the premises as we stayed in the room, but I'm sure it's also quite nice. The decor is super adorable, everything was clean, nothing was broken, there were plenty of towels and everything seemed to be taken care of. The bed was comfortable and the bedding was nice. We had DoorDash delivered and they had no issues with them getting it to us. I'd stay here again!
Courtney, 1-night trip

Cheer Comp

Very clean, small but big enough for us. The upstairs people were a little noisy but it was fine. We were here for a cheer competition. Will definitely recommend or stay again.
