8/10 Very good

Nashville getaway

Great location clean.
Richard, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Brief stay in Nashville at the Iris

Very clean, easy to access, and affordable. Guests walking on 2nd level were pretty loud so thinking the experience would be better up there compared to 1st floor. Pillows were lumpy and could use an upgrade. Otherwise, I had everything I needed for my short stay.

Iris Motel

I actually liked the Iris Motel more than I thought. It was comfortable and clean. I was unsure about not having someone at the front desk but it didnt make a difference. The only thing I didn't like was how close it was to the road. There was a pothole that every dump truck hit. It was pretty loud and woke me up a few times. Other than that it was great! The Common Ground restaurant was fantastic!
