Great communication even though it’s fully contactless. Team members really put in effort to check in and update. Room was clean and location is not too far from the main attractions. Would come again.

Would recommend the Iris to anyone and everyone! The price isn’t too good to be true! Really enjoyed my 4 night stay. Very accommodating and quick to respond if you need anything. Will be back next time I’m in Nashville.

The place had to many restrictions and not and office, yet I understand certain rules. The floors were somewhat clean. It was close to downtown. I had an issue with parking, seems like people had friends coming over and no parking for the people that paid for room. The bathroom were super tiny and very uncomfortable, not to mention, God forbid you have a disability or problems with your legs, you will definitely be very uncomfortable. They gave me only 1 soap for 2 people yet I had to ask for more and they did give it to me. It does need some improvement but wasn’t bad.
