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.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Iris! The room was beautiful, clean, and the staff was very welcoming. The area was a little noisy- to be expected so close to the college area though. Overall for what you get; being walking distance to King St, the room, and the staff; the price is unbeatable.
