This was my second time staying at The Iris Motel and it didn’t disappoint. I love the art deco decor as well as the gated parking. We will definitely be back.

Nicely remodeled small motel and good access to the French Quarter areas by public transportation. Economical due to its location near the city but also easy access to leave the city.

So the office staff my first day was on point! He was FANTASTIC! My stay however, first room I was given; was dirty, no big deal changed switch rooms, new room “clean room “

I was a bit concerned about the area after reading some previous reviews, but staying in a gated hotel made us feel safe and comfortable. We spent most of our time exploring historical sites and only came back to the hotel to sleep. The hotel was quiet and nice, with very few people around during our stay. The room was clean and had everything we needed, including a small fridge and a coffee maker. The staff were friendly and helpful, even though I only spoke with them over the phone!

Great place. Well run. Clean. It’s on a busy street so you want to put some ear plugs in or play some white noise at night. Not a big deal. Outstanding hotel.

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

A cute redone motel with nice beds and gated parking. But the room was tiny and the walls thin - I don’t know if I would stay again with a teen.
