The Iris Motel
Good modernization job on a 1960s motor inn. Bed was comfy and bathroom well-sized. The electronic gate and the individual access room code made us feel safe in an older downtown neighborhood. First hotel ever with NO ice machine and was a little disappointed the room had no microwave
