The Iris Motel consistently receives positive reviews, particularly praising its cleanliness, value, and easy, contactless check-in process. While some guests appreciate its retro charm and convenient location relative to New Orleans attractions, others have experienced issues with parking availability and noise.
It was probably the cleanest most spacious room I’ve had in a long time for the price I paid. The pool area was beautiful it was kind of like a staycation resort. Checking in was so easy.
Best Kept Secret. Safe, Quiet, Clean and Relaxing. Easy Access to the Trolley, French Quarter, and the Superdome. Can't Beat the Price, Especially for a Holiday weekend ??
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Iris! The overall appearance is fresh and retro/modern with pretty purple colors outside! The pool is fabulous! I love the security of the gated parking with assigned parking spaces…I love that my car was just outside my door! Super convenient! The room was very clean, nice, and comfortable! I definitely recommend it and will come back! It’s a fantastic price which I very much appreciate!
Rooms were small but tidy we arrived and it was locked up like Fort Knox we had to contact the person in charge by phone to get the codes to get through the gates and into the room, though there was ample parking we had to park our car out the front on the street as our room number 7 did not have a parking space. We were there for 3 nights 1st night there were no cars in car park the other nights 2 to 3 cars with plenty of spaces available we still had to park on the street. Location to the French Quater Bourbon st and the markets was a short ride by car and the motel was in a good location
Customer service very efficient. I salute the lady who assisted us to check in early thanks so much give us a chance to change and dress up for the graduation which was before the normal check-in time.
Not upscale, for sure, but kind of kitchy, laid back and fun. Access is controlled, just call the posted number. Rooms were clean and comfortable
A nice restored 60s motor inn with a pool. Good value only a few miles New Orleans' French Quarter. There is some minor road noise for the rooms near the check in desk.
This place was an incredible value. I only paid ~$80 a night. They keep it cheap by having relatively few staff and no default daily cleaning (which is how I prefer it). After booking I was simply given the gate and room codes and never interacted with anyone, which was fine by me. The room was nice - clean, with decent quality furniture (honestly better than the total crap you find even in big chain hotels that cost 200+ a night). Standard amenities: mini fridge, coffee and bottled water, desk with chair, TV, iron and ironing board, soap/shampoo/conditioner, air conditioning that I could actually dial down to 72. Only two negatives to report: I was woken up about half past midnight during one night of my stay by what sounded like someone throwing furniture around pretty violently in an adjacent room. It didn't sound like it came from a guest room, but somewhere else in the building. Oh, and the valve on my toilet wouldn't fully close without manual intervention (removing the tank lid and lifting), not a huge deal. I will definitely stay here again if I need a motel in New Orleans.
Third time staying here and once again it was wonderful! So easy, staff is friendly and helpful, and the rooms are always very clean! Highly recommend.
I really appreciated the self-check in. Arriving rather late in the evening, I just wanted to get into a room and have a shower. The in-person check in process always seems to take so long. I was in my room in 20 seconds. Clean bed, hot water—and the location simply can not be beat. I will be back.
