2/10 Poor

Horrible rooms never ever staying there I walked in and walked right out room was all moldy
Jesse, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The room smelled of weed. The furnishings were old. No plug for the jacuzzi bath tub so couldn’t use it. Other guests were loud all night long and sketchy. Will never stay there again and do not recommend.
Wendy, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

When I arrived, I was driving a U-Haul and it would not fit under the awning for hotel Iris so I had to go inside of the Marriott parking lot and go all the way up and around into the Iris parking lot… The guy at the front desk was helpful. It was however, obvious that people who are homeless are coming out of homelessness are staying at Iris in probably 80% of the rooms so I was worried about getting into my U-Haul.Hey I’m just wondering how you guys
Aubrey, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

This place is a dump. It’s nothing like the pictures show. The furniture is in bad shape. The wood floor was broken.The tub was dirty and it had hair in it. There is a lot of people walking around the parking lot in the middle of the night. Did not feel safe.
Chantel, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

There was dried up blood stains on the bed and shower tub. There was about 100 nat flies flying around. It was absolutely disgusting. I ran out of there. I walked in the room and left. The room was gross.

The Trap Hotel

Cheapest hotel in the area for a reason. Seems like a lot of the rooms are occupied as housing for drug addicts. First night i was accosted by a woman who was clearly strung out on something. My next door neighbor had random people stopping by the room all day and all night; lots of arguing about "collecting stuff" from them. And to top it all off my room reeked of chlorine that became apparent was used to try and hide the HEAVY smell of cigarette smoke. Burn holes on the curtains as well. If youre on a steep budget, then i guess this is your best best. Free parking which is nice. Other than that I think I'll just save some more money for a better place next time.

Stayer beware

This place has a lot of homeless around the area. Every time I left my room someone always asked me for change or in one case a socket wrench. Also every night someone kept knocking on our door asking to come in. There was a dead spider and another bug in the middle of the bathroom. The tub had a rag in it stuffed in the drain, and whenever we took a shower water got all over the floor, which if you don't lay a towel beforehand you will slip like I did, the tile they use has no grip. The desk had paint on it and the drawer handle was missing on one of the drawers there was what I can only assume was chocolate (didn't further investigate this) on the floor.dropped an earbud behind the nightstand and when I went to move it I found someone else's piercing (possibly belly button) another thing to mention when we first entered the room it reaked of weed we kept trying to get the smell out but couldn't. Also be aware that they charge $100 deposit and $11.95 per night "service fee" I didn't receive any service during my stay. Also the hotels home page at the time that I booked, mentioned no service fees and as per SB 478 and AB 537, they are to have full transparency with any and all fees included in a guest's stay. That being said the only positive aspects of this place is the jetted bath tub and the front desk staff the gentleman who checked me in was nice and polite same goes for the young lady who checked me out she was also informative when I asked about the $34.95 charge.

Peaceful night

I rested pretty good in my stay. The AC was working great, there was no noise during night time. I love this place to relax on a long weekend.
Socorro, 1-night trip

Checked out as soon as sun came out!

Had car issues and needed a place to stay for the night since it was too late to drive. Found this place on hotels.com and made reservation online. First, guy who checked me in barely spoke English and it was very difficult to understand his accent. Then he told me there was a $100 deposit that I wasn’t made aware of when I made the reservation. He gave me my key and when I went to the room the key wouldn’t work. I had to wait for him to come see what the problem was. The property wasn’t well lit and there were a lot of suspicious individuals roaming around which made me worried for my safety, so I waited for him in my car. When he got there he opened the room with his key and sure enough the rm had obviously been used and not yet cleaned. I had to get back in my car and drive to the reception again so he could give me another rm. This time the key worked, thank God, because it had gotten very late and I was exhausted and starving (no food available at hotel, not even a vending machine or snacks). Rm smelled so musty it made me nauseous. I turned on the AC and good thing I was carrying an essential oil that I put on the vent to freshen up the room. Rm was clean enough but definitely old and in need of updating. Didn’t trust taking a bath in their jet tub; who knows if they disinfect well. Made extra sure all locks worked and moved desk in front of the door. I could hear people passing by all night so I barely slept and felt very unsafe. Maybe drug deals happening? Want $ back
