Good but with limitations

My experience was okay. It’s a fine room, and it’s clean. But there’s nowhere to sit except on the bed. I needed to get some work done and had to use the bed, which was awkward. So, it’s fine, but not as a place to hang out or eat a take-out meal, and do anything except sleep or lay down. The location next to some awesome cafes was outstanding, it’s an EASY drive to downtown or the Vanderbilt area.

Boutique Motel ??

We were very disappointed to see the condition of the actual room vs. what was shown online. Beds and shelves were made from plywood. Bedding, specially pillowcases, were not appropriate to sleep on. Not sure how the rating of 8.8 ever came to be. On par with a Super 8 or Red Roof Inn. Not what would be expected from a boutique motel.

Not exactly what we expected.

This is a "remote" motel. There is no staff at scene. All communication with staff is via text. Microwave was in the 'lobby'. Bed was average. But the biggest thing was the train noise. Even at 2:00am the air horns would 'wake the dead". In addition, there is no place (except sitting in bed) to get any work done. No desk or chair. Wi-fi was slow. Staff was accomodating and we were able to check in 90 minutes prior to the actual check-in time. Check out was a breeze.

We really like the idea behind the Iris Hotel. Affordable, no frills, modernized. But found a lot lacking when we arrived. Staff was very kind and helped us get into the room (our code had not been activated yet). The room and beds weren’t as clean as we’d like but were not horrible. Just a bit of dirt/graininess on the floors, and lots of dust on bed headboards/lights, same with a/c unit, and several countertops. Overall it was fine and not bad given city location and price. The worst part though is the noise. The motel would have to insulate and rebuild but you can hear literally everything. The loud highway and road, the bus when it stops, people walking above you (every step), the next door alarm for someone waking up, conversation outside the door or in neighboring rooms, etc. The window and door are also quite drafty which makes the a/c & heat work quite hard and often. Overall a great idea for a motel with some nice modernized touches but still has some improvements to make. That said, if you like to sleep with earplugs and want an affordable spot for a night or two in Nashville, it’s an option to consider.

Nice for overnight stay

The check-in was easy. The room was nice. The staff seemed nice. It was a unique experience because there's no front desk and you get a code to check into your room and checkout. My only complaint is that the bathroom was small. I would stay here again, though

We've stayed here several times because it's very reasonable & convenient to the medical office we come from out of town to see. The staff is always kind & easy to work with if you have any questions or concerns. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE IRIS!!
