We've stayed here several times because it's very reasonable & convenient to the medical office we come from out of town to see. The staff is always kind & easy to work with if you have any questions or concerns. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE IRIS!!

This is the worst motel I have ever stayed in in my life because I couldn't even sleep because there was too much noise from all sides.

We loved this property. It was conveniently located to so many things. It was clean and the staff communicated with me the entire time and met all our needs. Much better than a large hotel.

A Nice but unusual stay.

Great test/email communication about check-in, arrived, entered the code in the door and we were in. The room was clean. However, when it is advertised as a modern minimalist motel, that's exactly what they meant. There was no furniture in the room other than the bed (which was extremely comfortable). There was built in shelving for storage, nightstand, etc. Luckily, we had driven and had our camp chairs in the car which we used for seating. I had an issue getting to the ice machine which was another coded door - got immediate help via text and did manage to get it open. The next night I could not get the door open again and just gave up. The location was great, it was about a $10 Uber ride to Broadway, many restaurants and shops in the area. The price was decent. I'd stay again if I could bring my own chairs.

While the digital only checkin process is odd, and not fully immediate, it was fine and ultimately nothing really extra over standard checkin processes. The motel room was spacious and remodeled, even if the remodeled bathroom was small. It was by far the cheapest decent option around, and we’d be happy to return.

The Iris was okay but definitely not what we expected. The room was clean and bathroom was nicely renovated. When we booked we were under the impression that it was a boutique type hotel but quickly realized upon our arrival that it was a motel. For what it was, it was, nice just not what we were expecting

We stayed at the Iris for an overnight trip for a doctor's appointment. Place is quiet, room was very clean and as pictured. Management was quick to communicate when they were needed. Overall nice little place to stay!

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.
