To tired to wait, for the extra steps

You have to go to another motel to get the keys and wait nearly an hour to check in because the hotel agent at the desk is responding to a third party online and can't view your check-in automatically so you have to wait after a long trip; One is tired! But after that, the place is very pleasant.

Pros: * The property itself is clean and appears well-maintained. * Communication via text was polite and respectful. Cons: * Misleading "free parking" advertisement. * Parking is assigned and based on availability, but this is not clearly communicated until late in the day. * Late communication regarding parking arrangements, making it impossible to address issues before arrival. * Lack of on-site support, making it difficult to resolve issues promptly. * Street parking is often full, leaving guests with no viable parking options. * Responses via text message, while polite, were unhelpful and dismissive. * The overall check in process seems to be done remotely, and if there is a problem it is not helpful.

Nobody ever acknowledged me, it was an apartment space and I didn’t know what to do. Thankfully the motel I had to find honored my reservation

DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL. STAY AWAY FROM BOOKING. When I booked my stay, I booked a different hotel than where I end up staying. When I arrived to the original hotel I was told that I need to drive to another hotel to pick up the key. In my mind that didn't make sense, to go to another hotel 15 minutes away to pick up the key. When I arrived to check in at the Iris hotel. I was told that Starling hotel was not my hotel and blamed Expedia for showing that hotel's pictures instead of Iris hotel. Honestly I feel scammed to the highest level. Iris Hotel looks nothing like what I saw in the pictures. I can't even rate this stay due to being at a different hotel than what I booked. DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL. THIS IS A SCAM
