This is a great little property that is perfect for the traveler who is looking for somewhere comfortable to crash after a long day of exploring music city! Our room was clean and easy to access, with parking right outside the room. The beds were comfortable, and there is a little book in each room that you can tell was compiled by the proprietors (not a glossy, printed travel publication) with tons of helpful info about the area, cool places to go, and close dining options. They have a very modern aesthetic, with wide open shelving, which felt a little unfinished to me. Overall, it was a great experience, we would stay there again, especially for the price!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Iris Motel. We wanted to save on our accommodations during the trip since we wouldn’t really be spending much time in the room. The room & bathroom was clean & updated with modern finishes. Our room was on the back side of the building so it was pretty quiet. We loved the contactless check in & each door has keypad entry so there was no room key to keep up with. The only thing I had trouble with was that the coffee machine was pretty cheap & didn’t work while we were there. I tried to text the number given to us in the email but never got a response. It would have been great if it did work though because they provided a little bag of fresh local coffee with a reusable kcup. So if you need your morning coffee like me, you might want to have a back up Starbucks postmates plan!

The room was clean and has everything any other hotel would have. The self checkin was simple and the location was ideal coming off the highway. Would definitely stay there again!

I did not realize it was a motel and not a hotel. Also, didn't realize there was no front desk staff on the property.
