I enjoyed my stay! Thank you :)
Laura, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

There is no staff, no front desk. Our key stopped working and I was unable to get up to my floor. Luckily someone let me up and my girl was in the room to let me in. Otherwise, I don't know what I would do since there is no one there to help. The walls are very thin and you can hear all the other guest yelling. There are long term guests there and a sign saying that the building will soon be homeless housing. The room itself was nice, bed was uncomfortable, but the room was spacious.

The rooms are outstanding because you can actually live there. Refrigerator, 2 burner stove and a amazing bathroom. The security outstanding is because your the only one that can get in.
Steven, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Meh!!!

Location was OK, the problem was you had to drive another 4 miles to another location to pick up the key. there was no front desk, and people lived here, this was no hotel, Ive seen Motel 6's in better shape.

I just did not like that I was not able to watch tv both room that I had tv connection was an issue need to get a better tv service otherwise everything thing else was great.
Danny, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A nice spot. All the right touches

Nicely appointed private studio. Very clean and very welcoming and comfortable. Great minimalist design. You will check-in somewhere else so read the details before you drive to the actual destination. Don’t quite know how the tv channels worked. There was only one, also bring your own Keurig pods our ground coffee, an ice tray and an iron.
Ammon, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

This is not a hotel! It’s more like a Airbnb they shouldn’t be on Expedia. To drive to different location just to get a key to get inside it’s so inconvenient. That I even canceled n got a different hotel. They should put that in there bookings. Don’t reserve here it’s not a Hotel
Bianca, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

I expected a hotel and ended up with some kind of Airbnb without any explanation. We got "hotel" and no one was there. After spending an hour trying to figure out what was going on. We have to drive all the way to hotel circle to get a freaking key card to get in. They have you a list of chores to do before you leave like clean up, take out the trash, etc. if I wanted an Airbnb, I would have gotten an Airbnb.

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.

10/10 Exceptional

I couldn’t believe how many complaints this place has over parking. Street parking is about 6 steps away from the building… plenty of parking space around. Very spacious room with kitchen. It smelled very clean and looked clean. Rest room was clean and they even provide shampoo, conditioner, hand wash and more. Would definitely be coming back and especially for the price! Can’t beat it.
Joanna, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Its perfect for a 1 night stay. Didnt like the smell when i walked it but the aircon helped with that. They also let me check in early after speaking to the host.
Lee, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Room was way smaller than advertised and there is no free parking, and no way to purchase a parking pass on site.

!??????

Showed up room wasn’t clean yet so it came in around 6 PM clean rise
david, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It was a bit of a hassle to check in. You have to drive to a different location to get the keys. Would be more convenient if they had someone in site
Brenda, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Staff was unresponsive, misleading, and rude when they did have to interact with a guest.
Chelsey, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Not bad for the price.

I was a bit skeptic to book this place due to the previous low reviews. (It’s not a scam) the place actually exsist. Turns out, it wasn’t so bad. The confusion is that there isn’t a main office, you’d have to check in at Hotel Iris to pick up your room key. (Remember to ask them for a parking permit, which is also free). The facility is nice and clean, a bit unusual because it operates similar to an AirBnB. I rated it a 4 out of 5, the bed squeaks really bad. I would definitely stay here again.
Bao, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Check I. Is at another location, and you have to reserve at least 24 h in advance to get a paying parking spot. Netflix and Hulu apps didn’t work, and there’s no table lamp on the nightstand. They also give only one card to enter the room, even though we were a couple. Otherwise, the room, kitchen and bathroom were pretty clean!
