What an awesome place! The Iris is so perfectly located that we were never more than 10-20 minutes from anywhere we wanted to be. The guest book with a detailed list of locally-owned shops and restaurants give us great foodie experiences in walking distance (the awesome Merengue Cafe and the Sunflower Cafe were both next door!) WIthin a two-minute drive were The Nashville Jam Company and Sam and Zoe's for breakfasts. We just wish we had had more days to try more restaurants! You'll be proud to pull up in front of this spot with it's cool vibe... all-black exterior with the huge painted Iris mural and the marquis sign make it look so classy. It's also great for those with accessibility issues if you park out back and stay on the first floor... no steps! (We were upstairs and so had a view of bamboo trees behind us.) The towels were fluffy, beds and pillows comfy. Aly and the Iris team were there for speedy replies to inquiries, too! We'll definitely be back!
