Pros of staying at the Iris Motel:
- Room looks exactly like the photos and is sparkling clean. It's well decorated and the bed sheets are comfortable.
- Open parking is always available. You can drive up to your room and it's super easy to get your luggage in.
- Super affordable room, which is usually not the case in such a big city like Nashville.
- Communicative staff reply quickly if you have any questions or requests.
- Location is central to multiple places in Nashville. The super market is just a few minutes away and there's cafes right next door.
Cons:
- I came during the summer and used the A/C which is super loud and right next to one of the beds, so if you're a light sleeper it would probably wake you up. It lets out cool air for like 5 straight minutes and then goes quiet again repeatedly throughout the night.
- The towels, toilet paper, and only one tiny shampoo/conditioner bottle provided are of pretty cheap quality. It is a boutique hotel/motel, so you get what you pay for!
- Room service is not provided, so you have to text/call them if you need anything additional during your stay. This means the sheets weren't changed, which I didn't realize in humid weather would mean they might start to smell, so I'd ask for sheets to be changed next time.
- No physical in person staff means that if you miss their 5am-5pm timeframe, unless its an emergency, you won't get your request fulfilled until the next day.
Note for anyone staying here: The door might not lock when you shut it, so you should put in a random number and then the lock will activate.
