Secure apt in Charleston, SC
We booked our room last minute for a one night stopover from wintering in Florida. What a great room which actually was a well fitted 1 bedroom apt. So clean. Such nice amenities. We even had a secure parking spot with our bikes. Great location, a few blocks from King street. Would love to return!!
Great location for walking down King Street, and when we were tired, there were free shuttles that brought us back within a couple of blocks. The hotel staff were very attentive. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. And the price was in a range that I felt we could afford, unlike most of the hotels in central Charleston.

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.
Loved this little gem!! Upon entering, we met a wonderful young woman who works at the property and was happy to hear we were from the same neck of the woods. We were treated with a bottle of wine, chocolate and coffee so what could go wrong?! Our room was on the ground floor and it was cozy, and super clean! Loved all the amenities that were included. It was a quick walk to King Street and they had everything you could imagine as far as coffee shops, lovely stores, restaurants, and bars. Would definitely stay again if we are back to Charleston.
Excellent experience at The Iris. Will definitely return on my next visit to Charleston.

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.
We absolutely loved our stay at the iris and will definitely stay again for our next trip to Charleston! Thank you!

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!
