The Iris Motel

So cute and quaint. Will be back

Our bed was comfortable. Bedding and towels were crispy white. Lots of fluffy towels including several face cloths. The room was updated with a cute, red refrigerator and lamps with USB-C outlets by the bedside. We were in room 2, close to the office. Despite the immediate proximity to so much, it was much quieter than I expected. Staff made a great effort to accommodate, like dropping and picking up bags early/late despite not being fully staffed (which we knew.) My only complaint was the floor. It's nicely tiled which should make it easy to mop clean. We remove shoes and walk barefoot. Seeing how dirty they got after cleaning them was disappointing. Thankfully with so many towels, we could clean our feet and the most trafficked floor to reduce the grime on our bare soles. The neighborhood feels a bit sketchier than it actually is but a tip is to walk on same side of Tulane and if walking to Canal for the streetcar, use a street more north than south.

My experience here was great! Cute little hotel. Parking was secure. Room was clean. Friendly staff! I will stay here again when I visit Nola!

I cannot speak on highly nice the staff was. From the first lady I spoke with the night we checked in to the last we spoke with the day we checked out. There’s lots of construction going on as they try to make improvements and the noise was right outside our door, even on the weekends it was minimal and didn’t bother us. The room was clean, the gated parking was a huge bonus, the bed was comfy, and the price was amazing. The location for us was great! Easy access to everything we wanted to do and see while we visited Nola before my towboater left for hitch. Thank you Iris Inn we will be back!
