Gated parking and contactless check-in/out was good. My door needed service, however, as it was difficult to lock and open. Also, my door was open when I checked in. Not sure if the staff had trouble with it like I did during my stay. Besides those easily fixable things, I liked this place and would use it again next time I'm in town.

We wanted to come to New Orleans with a budget but are definitely used to a certain quality of facilities and this was the perfect in between something fancy and something cheap. I very much love The artsy mural on the outside, it was very clean, the parking being a sign be a room was awesome, my only wish was that there was a microwave in the unit. If we come to New Orleans again we will definitely stay here

Room was clean and a good place to stay for a week on a budget. The area around the room, not the best. That wasn’t a problem though, bunch of bars within driving distance and Ubers were relatively cheap to go drinking all over town.

Watch your step
This motel was ok. It was a small room. Check your email because you check in with it and do not see anyone at all. The really bad part is that the metal steps have been painted with a thick coat of slippery paint. It rained while we were there and my wife and I both fell and hurt ourselves badly. They need to fix this.

Bus stop out the front was very handy, beds were comfortable, these were the pros. The cons include a bathroom door that has to be rehung constantly, one chair, tiny room for (supposedly) four people.

Really enjoyed our stay at The Iris. We came for Taylor Swift concert and the hotel made friendship bracelets and had them in our room. My daughter didn’t have time to get braclets before coming to New Orleans so she was so happy to have them to wear to the concert. Thank you for making this trip more special! Beds were very comfortable and self check in was easy. I forgot my airpod pros in the room and they even mailed them to me in Denver. Highly recommend this hotel!

We really enjoyed our stay at this motel. When we walked in there were friendship bracelets and a welcome card from the staff! Very personable. The room was a little small for the 4 of us, but for the price for the weekend it wasn't too bad.

This was a last minute property due to a cancellation from another property. The room was clean and management was very helpful. My family felt safe there. Since we were in a room next to the street it did get noisy.
