Enjoyed our stay very much. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Overall a pleasant stay. Only negative thing I’d have to say is the check in time is way too late and the check out time is way too early. Both are very inconvenient.

Clean and affordable.
My unit was extremely clean. It is the most comfortable bed I have ever slept on, and my own is pretty great, so that says alot. It was all I needed as a stopping place for a work function in town. I have to note, that one important oversight can cause it to not be ideal, and for me that was that there was no inside latch, a very loose door frame and an electronic code to access the unit (hackable?) to get in. It did not feel secure, and I didnt sleep all night. Please... that inside door latch is so important for security reasons, especially being a motel where the door exits right out to the road.

Little Gem away from the Nashville traffic
The Iris Motel was perfect for our short stay in Nashville. It was in a perfect location for us it was not far from the Basement east and the Pharmacy Burger Parlor.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Overall, I would rate this place as all right. I chose this place because it is much cheaper than other stays in the area and there are good reasons why. First, I almost couldn’t find my room. There are front and back areas of the building. I didn’t receive information regarding that so I had ask other folks that stayed here for directions. Second, the AC is loud. Like really loud. I normally wear earplugs to sleep and the AC’s sound easily penetrates through them. Even with the lowest fan setting, it was so loud that I had to wait until it stops and try to fall asleep during that short interval. I couldn’t get used to the sound for the two nights I stayed here. If you are a light sleeper or sensitive to sounds, I don’t think this is the right place for you. Also, the AC is dusty and blew dust over the duvet. Third, sound insulation. I could hear my next door neighbor opening and closing their doors as well as folks parking their cars outside.

Clean but unfinished
The room was "okay" - I wouldn't say good but I wouldn't say bad either. It was clean but it was very bare and not inviting at all. The side tables are too far from the bed, there is no where to sit unless you want to sit in the bed, there is no lighting except behind the bed and the raw wood that they built the bed frame, console for the TV, closet, headboard, etc. all looks cheap. The floor is unique in that it is real wood but it is not properly cleaned so walking across it is extremely sticky. The bathroom was clean but the coverup or remodel the did in the bathroom looks cheap and feels unfinished. My biggest concern was how DARK the outside is. The lighting in front of the doorways is dark and points straight down so walking up to my room in the dark was sketchy and felt unsafe. Parking was difficult too if you are the rear of the building. Overall, it was clean so one night isn't the end of the world but I would not stay here again.

Check in and communication were efficient and easy. The room was cool, and had plenty of room for the two of us, but humid, likely due to the excessive heat this weekend. Overall, a great weekend stay with no major issues. Would definitely stay again.
