Overall, I really enjoyed my stay at Iris. The instructions to check in were easy and clear, the room was very clean, and I appreciated the amount of available counter space. The best part - everything is contact free, perfect for COVID travels.
However, the motel is located next to a few restaurants and not much else. While I know Berry Hill, the neighborhood it’s in, is very safe, the parking lot for the motel is poorly lit. It definitely didn’t feel 100% safe for me as a single girl at night. Additionally, there is a designated smoking area on the stairs, so when I went to my room a guy was just watching me and smoking. Obviously, this is circumstantial so everyone may not have the same experience. When I got in the room, there was a single lock with no manual deadbolt. I would have liked a deadbolt since the rooms open directly outside.
Overall, I would stay again, but probably if I was traveling with a friend and not alone.
