Conveniently located, but furniture was very basic- like someone screwed in pieces of plywood to form a headboard then stuck light behind it. Looked much better in pictures than in person.

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!!
