The bus line is right in front of the hotel which goes downtown and quick walk to bourbon street
Next to a main road, thin walls/windows, could hear vehicular noise all night, despite earplugs. I expected the noise from the lounge, which ended at 12:30/1 am, could feel the bass pretty well.
brittnee.partnerNov 08, 2024 staff was nice and helpful , place is clean and it’s very close to the dome .
joana.friendsNov 05, 2024 Unsafe, thin walls, no front desk help after hours. Not only was my doors’ lock falling off its hinges when I initially checked in, my in-house phone didn’t work, and I found no towels in my room which made me believe no one had cleaned the room or inspected it. The first night I had to share a room/bed with my friends because no one has at the front desk after 11pm to help them get inside their room after their key was lost. This hotel has inside and outdoor rooms, mine was located in the outside part, where you could hear phone conversations from your next door neighbors and everything that was going on downstairs or outside the room. On the third day of my stay I asked for my room to be cleaned, I returned to an untouched room. Overall the experience was lacking and disappointing.
Budget Traveling at its very Best!!!
The Iris Motel is a recently renovated -boutique motel, in an up-and-coming area of New Orleans. Aesthetically, it is absolutely adorable (especially the pool) and, even though it is a -no frills- type of property, they provide you with everything you need. For the price, you really can not ask for more!
A couple of things to know…
There is no one on-site to manage the property, but I had no issues and feel certain that if I had, the local team would have responded quickly. (As a single female traveler, though, I would have felt safer with a security guard on the premises).
The property is not brand-new, and the rooms are not fully sound proof. I could hear typical city noises, from outside, but, I’m from midtown Atlanta, so it didn’t bother me one bit! Just something to consider if you prefer absolute silence.
Lastly, thank you to the management team for the hand written welcome note and the handmade friendship bracelets (with my name on it!) that I found at check-in, in honor of the Taylor Swift concert that was taking place,the weekend I was there. It was such a thoughtful surprise and made my visit even more memorable!
I can not wait to go back to New Orleans and would be thrilled to stay at The Iris Motel again, in the future!
jamaal.partnerOct 28, 2024 Had a great few days staying at the Dew Drop. The rooms are cute, comfortable with moody lighting and come with a bit of local history. Even saw a free show at the lounge. List of were always helpful and definitely provided some Southern hospitality
Room had no A/C and they wouldn’t do anything about it. It was out for the room next door for days and they did nothing as well.
pamela.partnerOct 27, 2024 Very nice themed rooms. If you need an early night sleep I wouldn’t recommend staying here- they do have live music almost every night. Room was really nice but limited in space- no fridge.

No thermostat in the room which ws like an ice box. No blankets on the bed had to use towels in bath room. NO cups or water glasses in the room. Not enough counter space either the bed room or bath rom. No elevator or person to help with getting the bags up the stairs. No downstairs rooms.
Great Hotel but my AC didnt work the whole time. Very hard to sleep in a 83deg room.
This is definitely a hidden gem! It’s a very cute, small hotel/inn. Check in was quick and easy. The young lady working the front was very and personable! The room was very cute and clean! There was an event the night we stayed, and it was loud music! However, we could have attended and joined the fun, but we were tired. The music did stop at a reasonable time and we were sleep in minutes! I will definitely stay here again!!
daniel.familyOct 08, 2024 Arrived from out of state 2 states over to find out my double bed room i paid for already in advance (had a party of 4) was occupied and the replacement was a single bed room. Then go into the replacement room and no working ac (room is 81 and musky). One of the 4 guests is on oxygen at night. Had to bail on trip because she couldnt breathe in the room and had serious issues after 30 min, so wasted trip and money.
It was a place to experience the history and culture of New Orleans not the tourist trap and commercial aspect
Extremely loud. Thin walls.
The place is in a bad area no parking I would not feel safe staying in there
The staff is very friendly and helpful!
It's simply charming.it was the ambiance it's without equal to any other property I have had the pleasure to visit
There waa very limited parking but the staff was nice. The rooms were great.
cathy.partnerAug 18, 2024 Cute small boutique hotel, great value. Perfect for those who appreciate its history and music. Enjoyed the pool and bar. Easily spent 1-2 hours there, music was top notch, my favorite 90s-2000s throwbacks. The DJs on Saturday night played a good mix of music too. You have to walk 15-20 minutes to get to most places, but it’s near Magazine St, some local staples like Bearcat. Would stay again.
