Do Not Stay Here

The photos shown are absolutely nothing close to what the rooms look like. There was a large roach, flies in the room, stains on the bed, the walls and bedding are dirty and the shower had a leak. The trash cans outside were overfilled and full of flies. Overall a 1 star rating, especially for the price. Highly recommend not to ever book here.
3-night trip

2/10 Poor

The room smelled of weed. The furnishings were old. No plug for the jacuzzi bath tub so couldn’t use it. Other guests were loud all night long and sketchy. Will never stay there again and do not recommend.
Wendy, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

When I arrived, I was driving a U-Haul and it would not fit under the awning for hotel Iris so I had to go inside of the Marriott parking lot and go all the way up and around into the Iris parking lot… The guy at the front desk was helpful. It was however, obvious that people who are homeless are coming out of homelessness are staying at Iris in probably 80% of the rooms so I was worried about getting into my U-Haul.Hey I’m just wondering how you guys
Aubrey, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Absolutely shocked by hot unsanitary it was

Well it horrible the person who checked us in didn’t car that there was trash everywhere, the room had a horrible chemical smell that gave me a head ache, we couldn’t stay there. We went through hell to find another place to stay. I didn’t feel safe. The bed had stains on it. The neighboring rooms appear to have people living in them in very unsanitary conditions and were smoking in front of the room and were making noise. I review hotels for trip advisor as a pass time I have 73,000 readers and I honestly and with all do respect have never experienced anything this bad in my life
Jared, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

There was dried up blood stains on the bed and shower tub. There was about 100 nat flies flying around. It was absolutely disgusting. I ran out of there. I walked in the room and left. The room was gross.
Henry, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

This place is a dump. It’s nothing like the pictures show. The furniture is in bad shape. The wood floor was broken.The tub was dirty and it had hair in it. There is a lot of people walking around the parking lot in the middle of the night. Did not feel safe.

ROACH MOTEL

I am very disappointed, unhappy and disgusted. EVERYTHING read ROACH MOTEL as soon as we drove in. This MOTEL was in between all these big names hotels on Hotel Circle…. But paying for $150 A NIGHT was not worth it! We laid in bed and watched a roach go up the wall.. then it went behind the refrigerator. Moved the refrigerator and there was a cluster of dead and alive roaches! I asked to change our room- They were fully booked. Asked to spray the room while we left for dinner- doesn’t seem anything was done to our room when we came back. Asked for a refund or compensation- they said i went thru a third party so they couldnt help me I WANT MY MONEY BACK! $350 for two dirty nights! I was too afraid to leave my suitcase open! We put everything on the bed whenever we left the room! Never again.

The Trap Hotel

Cheapest hotel in the area for a reason. Seems like a lot of the rooms are occupied as housing for drug addicts. First night i was accosted by a woman who was clearly strung out on something. My next door neighbor had random people stopping by the room all day and all night; lots of arguing about "collecting stuff" from them. And to top it all off my room reeked of chlorine that became apparent was used to try and hide the HEAVY smell of cigarette smoke. Burn holes on the curtains as well. If youre on a steep budget, then i guess this is your best best. Free parking which is nice. Other than that I think I'll just save some more money for a better place next time.
