The stay was great and it was my first time staying in a motel so I was a bit nervous but it was the cleanest place I’d stayed in a while. Staff were very responsive. The only issue I had was there was a draft through the door which isn’t great but otherwise all was well and I had a warm safe place to stay

Comparison review
This was our second time staying at this motel. This trip we also booked a room for our parents,(80+) requested a 1st floor room for them. All the things we enjoy about the Iris they did not find as charming. We love the clean lines, wood floors, simple design. They prefer a hotel with carpet and heavy drapery. They never use a microwave in their hotel room, but this trip they commented that they didn't have one, so how could they heat up leftovers. Our comment to them it's in the lobby, as well as the ice machine. Things I really like about the Iris, my secure door locks, the soap dispenser on the bathroom counter (I detest melty bars of soap) the cute black make-up face towels. The Keurig style coffee maker with locally roasted coffee and reusable pod. Yes I had to give my mother a lesson in how to use a reusable pod. We really enjoy the walkable neighborhood. So many places to grab a bite to eat, or enjoy a cocktail all from local establishments. Don't miss the crystal/rock shop she runs a gorgeous establishment. Why the comparison? If you are a person who can not walk up stairs or has difficulties with sloping ground this is not the neighborhood for you. If you are a person who loves to meet new people, and enjoy local culture then stay at this charming boutique motel
