Thank you so much for the wonderful review, Kimberly ! We’re so happy to hear you loved The Iris and had a great stay. We’d love to welcome you back anytime!
The place was absolutely great. We loved it. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. There was a young lady the day we checked in that helped us and I apologize I can’t remember if her name was Audrey or Aubrey but she was so helpful and super sweet

Thank you for your 4-star review and for taking the time to share your experience. We're so glad you chose to stay with us, Dorothy!
We're truly sorry for the inconvenience caused by the internet and TV service being down during your visit. Unfortunately, there was a multi-state AT&T outage that affected many areas, and while it was beyond our control, we completely understand how frustrating it must have been — especially when you're hoping to relax and unwind.
We really appreciate your patience and understanding, and we hope to welcome you back for an even better stay next time, with everything working just as it should.
Nice room and outdoor lounging in front of room. Recently done. Great staff, very helpful. The car carousel was a snap to use. The down side- The paper goods were from the bottom of the barrel. The TP was one level above sandpaper. Security at the complex was fair. Despite signs asking guests to make sure the pedestrian gate is properly closed, it was frequently left ajar creating a security issue. The door check is not strong enough to close the pedestrian gate.

Thanks for taking the time to review us, Maria! We're so glad that you enjoyed our modern unit. Our state of the art parking carousels are very unique and are the first of its kind in the area. They provide a space saving solution for on-site parking where there otherwise would be none! We apologize if the pedestrian gate was ever left open during your stay. This was actually an installation error that we are in the middle of fixing as we speak. This fix will ensure that the gate will close fully on its own. We also appreciate the feedback about our toilet paper, we will be sure to look into a better option for our future guests. We hope to host you again in the future!
