Cozy clean space
This location was convenient and safe feeling. The unit was clean and comfortable. The space was well laid out despite not having a lot of space to work with. Everything that was provided worked well and they had added little details to make the stay more enjoyable. Will definitely stay here again next time we are in Charleston.

The parking was little confusing, however the room itself was beautiful, clean. Amazing location. It had a couple of top notch coffee machines with espresso and creamers. Walked everywhere.

Our modern home-base in Charleston
We loved The Iris for our week in Charleston. Great location just a short walk from King Street and situated in a cool neighborhood within walking distance to fun restaurants and bars. We walked all over town from here. Our unit was super clean and well-appointed for the two of us. The bed was comfy, the kitchen and bath very modern and the living space was cozy but big enough to watch TV, snack and relax. We loved the "patio" space just outside our door as we chatted with other guests coming and going. The staff was VERY accommodating, helping us with our EV charger parking space. If you have a car, I recommend paying the extra parking fee as the on-site carousel is easy to use and safe. We will certainly stay here again and recommend to friends.

Loved our stay!
We loved our time at the Iris. The unit was clean and well appointed. It was laid out to be very functional with space. We had great communication with the staff and the parking carousel was easy to use-very convenient. We’d definitely stay again.

We had a fantastic weekend at this hotel. The parking carousel made parking easy, and the room had a Dyson hair dryer and a fully functioning kitchen— way better than your typical hotels. The sound machine by the bed ensured a peaceful sleep, and the Halloween decor added a fun, festive touch. Highly recommend it for a comfortable and enjoyable stay!

Nice, very clean and had all necessary items for a stay. Would have given a five but the location was a block away from a somewhat shady area. The hotel itself was very protected and safe though, gated etc… pleasant stay.

I stayed here with my two teenage daughters for a mom and daughter trip. They loved the location for walking and it’s not directly in the downtown area so the night was much quieter. We felt very safe as the building was super secure.

Great atmosphere friendly staff before check-in. However, the AC would not permit any temperatures below 76° that night. It was below 70 in Charleston making it much warmer in the room than outside. I literally could not stay the night and sleep.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Iris! The room was beautiful, clean, and the staff was very welcoming. The area was a little noisy- to be expected so close to the college area though. Overall for what you get; being walking distance to King St, the room, and the staff; the price is unbeatable.
