Clean and comfortable, which made a pleasure to stay at
Steven, 2-night trip

Cheer Comp
Very clean, small but big enough for us. The upstairs people were a little noisy but it was fine. We were here for a cheer competition. Will definitely recommend or stay again.

We have stayed at least 3 times no complaints
Chenile, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good but with limitations
My experience was okay. It’s a fine room, and it’s clean. But there’s nowhere to sit except on the bed. I needed to get some work done and had to use the bed, which was awkward. So, it’s fine, but not as a place to hang out or eat a take-out meal, and do anything except sleep or lay down. The location next to some awesome cafes was outstanding, it’s an EASY drive to downtown or the Vanderbilt area.

Taylor, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

Boutique Motel ??
We were very disappointed to see the condition of the actual room vs. what was shown online. Beds and shelves were made from plywood. Bedding, specially pillowcases, were not appropriate to sleep on. Not sure how the rating of 8.8 ever came to be. On par with a Super 8 or Red Roof Inn. Not what would be expected from a boutique motel.

Nice for overnight stay
The check-in was easy. The room was nice. The staff seemed nice. It was a unique experience because there's no front desk and you get a code to check into your room and checkout. My only complaint is that the bathroom was small. I would stay here again, though
Gayla, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Excellent stay.
J, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Not exactly what we expected.
This is a "remote" motel. There is no staff at scene. All communication with staff is via text. Microwave was in the 'lobby'. Bed was average. But the biggest thing was the train noise. Even at 2:00am the air horns would 'wake the dead". In addition, there is no place (except sitting in bed) to get any work done. No desk or chair. Wi-fi was slow. Staff was accomodating and we were able to check in 90 minutes prior to the actual check-in time. Check out was a breeze.
TIMOTHY, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Wish there was more parking lot lighting, especially in the back. Also a sofa would be nice. No place to sit other than bed.
Jason, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

cute, clean and convenient renovated motel. surprisingly quiet near the highway and just a hop away from walmart if we needed anything.
Lindsey, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!
