About this place The Iris

The Iris is listed as accommodation at 84 Line Street, on the upper part of the Charleston peninsula north of the main historic district. It is a mainstream, gay-friendly place to stay, not a gay hotel. Google reviewers rate it 4.9 from about 370 reviews, a strong score. The data here does not say whether it is a small inn, guesthouse or apartment-style rental, and room types and parking are not listed. Upper King Street's bars and restaurants are within walking distance, and the older historic core further south is a longer walk or short ride. Check the website for current setup and check-in arrangements.

Excellent location! Very friendly reception, easy check-in they were able to hold our bags since we landed earlier than check-in. The room was spacious, clean modernized and updated. Any extra you could imagine they provided. Even gifted us wine and chocolate! Super amazing concept. I can’t wait to return and visit The Iris again.

Great location! Very nice accommodations and you feel safe. Parking on the carousel was easier than I thought, and your car is safe while parked. Easy to check in, and everyone was helpful with any questions we had. The room was clean and nice, and had everything you would need. Special touches made the experience feel personalized. Would definitely stay here again!
