We've stayed here several times because it's very reasonable & convenient to the medical office we come from out of town to see. The staff is always kind & easy to work with if you have any questions or concerns. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE IRIS!!

Wish there was more parking lot lighting, especially in the back. Also a sofa would be nice. No place to sit other than bed.
