Paid for what I got

The room was as advertised, and worked fine. The air con kept going on and off, and was super loud, so I kept waking up every time it turned on and off. Couldn't figure out how to have it just stay on. Also, there were benches outside my room and people out there talking at 3 am, waking me up. Asked them to move twice, they did not. Not a great night of sleep, but it's a cheap place to stay.

Plenty of parking. Quiet room. entry instructions easy to follow. Beds were great comfortable for sleeping. Lots of towels. but they weren't useable as water wasn't hot enough to shower. Plenty of room for luggage and stuff. Frist Hotel for me that has no clock or Kleenex

More than a motel…

Love staying at The Iris when I take art classes at Warehouse 521 - close to the studio, restaurants and easy 2 mile walk to Severin Park & 12th Ave shops. Very responsive to queries. Basics with a sparkle.

Had medical appointment nearby and did not anticipate it being longer than it was. Communicated with them I may not be able to check out on time. They were understanding and flexible, luckily I did make it on time.
