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.

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 Its outdated inside.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

Nice place to stay!
We arrived on Friday and the codes worked just as described in email. The room was cool and clean. I had read previous reviews and brought two power strips and an extension cord because there was only three outlets…one outlet at bathroom sink and were the coffee maker was plugged in and one outlet under table between beds. The beds were comfortable. The TV worked great. I brought a foam soap dispenser for the sink and to my surprise this is the first hotel that had a soap dispenser at the sink. The coffee maker is a one cup kerrig so we brought our own coffee maker and used it for a full pot of coffee. Refrigerator dis not have the small freezer in it to freezer our ice packs but there is an ice machine to the right of the lobby in a hallway that they will give you a code to that is different than the code in the lobby where the microwave is. The only complaints I would say would be that the air conditioner did cool the room but doesn’t really remove the humidity. The towels were still damp the next morning when we hung them up. The other thing would be that the clothes hanger pole is larger than standard hangers. They provided six hangers but our clothes were on hangers and kept falling off the pole. It was a nice place and reasonably priced. Plenty of towels, toilet paper and they have a hair dryer in the room. Walmart is right across the street and there are neat restaurants nearby. We went to the Pfunky Griddle and you cook some of your own breakfast on griddle in table
