The photos you see on the profile are not what you get once you enter your room. Total deception. The room was dirty. Hair everywhere, on the toilet and in the bed. There was no bedding included, no towels, and no toilet paper. Would not even consider sleeping here even if the room was provided at no cost.

It felt like I'd won the lottery, and it was my lucky day! I had not seen anything be available here before. For the price, this value was unreal!!!!!!! I was afraid it was a scam, or that there would at least be a hidden fee, and i was wrong, it really was true! The only negative is there was no way to get more than one night- there is no last minute adjustments, but thats not really a negative its just in high demand! Ooh the having to pick up the key at a different hotel was something that should be mentioned first, i was completely thrown off by that lol!!!

Loved the unit itself. Must check-in at a hotel several miles away to pick up the key. Parking MUST be arranged prior to arrival, otherwise, only street parking.

DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL. STAY AWAY FROM BOOKING. When I booked my stay, I booked a different hotel than where I end up staying. When I arrived to the original hotel I was told that I need to drive to another hotel to pick up the key. In my mind that didn't make sense, to go to another hotel 15 minutes away to pick up the key. When I arrived to check in at the Iris hotel. I was told that Starling hotel was not my hotel and blamed Expedia for showing that hotel's pictures instead of Iris hotel. Honestly I feel scammed to the highest level. Iris Hotel looks nothing like what I saw in the pictures. I can't even rate this stay due to being at a different hotel than what I booked. DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL. THIS IS A SCAM

Starling was strong in many areas. The housekeeper let his mouth play him out his tip though. I got no towel change either day but still 5 stars. Sat Sri Akal

I couldn’t believe how many complaints this place has over parking. Street parking is about 6 steps away from the building… plenty of parking space around. Very spacious room with kitchen. It smelled very clean and looked clean. Rest room was clean and they even provide shampoo, conditioner, hand wash and more. Would definitely be coming back and especially for the price! Can’t beat it.
