The Iris Motel

I stayed at the Iris Motel last weekend and was honestly really happy with the experience. If you're visiting Nashville and want something affordable, clean, and easy without the chaos of staying right on Broadway, this place is a great option. The first thing I noticed when we walked in was how clean and well kept the room was. Everything felt freshly maintained, and the overall vibe was modern and simple without feeling cheap. The bed was comfortable, the bathroom was spotless, and it had everything we needed for a short weekend stay. One thing I appreciated was the contactless check-in. Instead of dealing with a front desk, we received instructions and a door code ahead of time, which made the whole arrival process super smooth. After a long drive, being able to just pull up and go st

The Iris is great! We booked it a week in advance for my family of four. The location, room quality, and service was top notch. The mom & pop vibes were a welcomed change compared to the corporate and cold vibes of real and expensive hotels. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Easy check in & out process. We will definitely be back!!

First and foremost this place was clean. That’s what matters most. So thank you for that. Now, kuddos to whomever took the photos for the website. They definitely made it look more chic and lux than what it is. Not saying it’s bad. It’s nice just not as nice as the pictures look. This is more of an opinion but once inside, the room had more of a kindergarten cubby vibe with primary blue, yellow, pressed wood cubes, and weird metal accent pieces. The Ac unit was loud, sounded like a spaceship amping up for take off every few minutes. Lots of street noise, maybe that doesn’t bother you though. The shower curtain rod was detaching from the wall. It was the rounded ones that give you more room. The curve hung downward and prevented the curtain from being able to close. It’s one good tug from f

Not a 'MOTEL' it is a 3rd party unmanned B&B. Driving all day, wanted a simple 'motel' in S-NSH. ZERO STAFF. 800# style coverage. ('No reservation after 10pm'). They took my money on booking com, then, at 9pm (at dinner) I had to fill out 30 minute pdf about drinking and guests. THEN send them picture of my drivers license. Chewed up my dinner relaxation, stressful, finally got door code. Then, nobody on site for fire, emergency. I've done this, ok, renting a beach house for 4-7 days. Not for an overnight 'motel' between two 400 mile drives. Says a motel, its not a <motorway hotel>. For one night, just pay the extra $15, stay at the chain.

I booked a room here for two nights. The room looked just like the pictures. Clean, organized, cute, simple, and smelled good. The beds were comfortable and it had an AC unit that kept the room cool. It had lots of parking and it was free!! It is a 9 minute drive from Broadway (which is perfect because we just Uber there anyways). On our second day I had reached out for an accommodation and they were quick to respond and quick to find an accommodation for me. The service, the room, the motel was 10/10. I definitely recommend!!!
