Clean rooms, not very big. Room enough to store your clothes and essentials, clean up and sleep. Very minimalistic, stayed 2 weeks and had no problems other than the occasional drunk neighbor

Great room at a great price!
Easy online checkin and checkout spotless room and comfortable. Great brand of shampoo/soap. The only negative was that the bathroom was so small I whacked my elbow on the toilet paper holder. Absolutely a great room value- will repeat the next time we are in Nashville!

Awesome hotel!!
The Iris is a cute hotel. Love the purple Iris painted on the side of the building!! Our room was spotless, smelled fresh, linens were fresh, beds / pillows comfortable, gorgeous hardwood floors. My daughter and I just stayed one night for a Vanderbilt Medical Center appointment, which was only 3 minutes away! We did not take advantage of any restaurants nearby, but there were several. It is right off of a busy street, but the neighborhood was quiet, and we felt safe. The road noise didn't bother us, we turned the fan on high to drown out the sound. Chelsea was so good with staying in communication with me. Loved this place, and would definitely stay again for future appointments, and recommend it!!

The stay was great and it was my first time staying in a motel so I was a bit nervous but it was the cleanest place I’d stayed in a while. Staff were very responsive. The only issue I had was there was a draft through the door which isn’t great but otherwise all was well and I had a warm safe place to stay
