A Nice but unusual stay.
Great test/email communication about check-in, arrived, entered the code in the door and we were in. The room was clean. However, when it is advertised as a modern minimalist motel, that's exactly what they meant. There was no furniture in the room other than the bed (which was extremely comfortable). There was built in shelving for storage, nightstand, etc. Luckily, we had driven and had our camp chairs in the car which we used for seating. I had an issue getting to the ice machine which was another coded door - got immediate help via text and did manage to get it open. The next night I could not get the door open again and just gave up. The location was great, it was about a $10 Uber ride to Broadway, many restaurants and shops in the area. The price was decent. I'd stay again if I could bring my own chairs.

While the digital only checkin process is odd, and not fully immediate, it was fine and ultimately nothing really extra over standard checkin processes. The motel room was spacious and remodeled, even if the remodeled bathroom was small. It was by far the cheapest decent option around, and we’d be happy to return.

The Iris was okay but definitely not what we expected. The room was clean and bathroom was nicely renovated. When we booked we were under the impression that it was a boutique type hotel but quickly realized upon our arrival that it was a motel. For what it was, it was, nice just not what we were expecting

We stayed at the Iris for an overnight trip for a doctor's appointment. Place is quiet, room was very clean and as pictured. Management was quick to communicate when they were needed. Overall nice little place to stay!

Cute motel that was very clean. I loved the papaya soap. There is no staff on site so you must text them to get entry instructions and leave your credit card on file. There was no place for me to park both nights so I parked across the street. The area is commercial and not very appealing. There's a big Walmart plaza directly across the street. The adjacent highway is noisy so it was difficult to sleep. I think the pricing is a bit a on the high side, and like other reviewers, I would rather have had an 11am check-out time.

The Iris Motel was centrally located, unpretentious but comfortable with everything we wanted, perfectly clean with everything working the way it should. I used the microwave in the lobby fairly often, so not having one in the room was fine. The mini-frig in the room was handy.

Excellent getaway spot
Absolutely the best time, while it was a little odd not to have a front desk it was super easy to get in and settled. It was the perfect location outside of downtown Naahville.

4/10 Fair

Hotel was close to our event so it was convenient for us. But hotel was not what i was expecting from booking photos. I knew it was an older newly renovated motel. But seems they havnt gotten my room renovated yet. Its outdated inside. AC unit was loud, Tv barely worked. Brown Recluse spider in bathtub. Tiny parking lot. Not trying to complain, just being honest. It seemed like a safe location. Alot of food options near by. All n all it was ok for 2days.

Cute
It was very cute and as always I love the parking right in front. The whole code thing was new to me and I’m going to be honest (maybe I didn’t understand the instructions but I don’t remember reading them either) but apparently you are supposed to just press any numbers after closing the door to “lock it” whoops - will know for future I guess. The room had what I needed and considering there’s no room service they do provide with extra items. My only thing is that, even with the air conditioner being at 68 it felt a little humid/stuffy inside. In my experience this happens when the A/c needs to be cleaned out but not sure if it’s the case. The temperature of the room allows me to sleep better and be more comfortable and couldn’t really get that full comfortable temp. Other than that communicating with team was good (no issues so don’t know how after hours really work but they do provide numbers incase of emergency that are 24/7. It’s close enough to downtown that you can Uber (maybe even cheaper than parking downtown at times) quiet and safe neighborhood
