Very clean and pleasant building in a convenient location. Room was very clean and newly refurbished, though spare. Fine by me! Great burritos and a nice 7-Eleven next door. Only caviat is that check-in is at a hotel a few miles away.

Got to read the fine print when checking in! Having said that, granted it was rather unusual but the Gentleman at the Iris Inn was super polite and made the checking in process easy! And for the price, you can’t beat that! If I ever spend the evening in SD in the future, I definitely will be looking to return to Starling! Thank you for a tremendous stay!

Great room for the price of the area. Clean and ac worked great. Only thing is that it had minimal towels and make sure to bring your own toiletries as the ones they provided was very small but worked for us.

it took a while to get checked in like 30 minutes cause they were trying to get in touch with the host. I was checking in at 7:00. And you have to go to Hotel Iris in Mission Valley on Hotel Corcle to get checked in. Very frustrating!

**warning** first, I had to go to a different location to check in and get keys. When I got to the room it looked as though someone was still using the room: bed not made, trash on counter and in bin, opened soap, used towels. I left and got a different hotel. The hotel said that they would refund me; but I have not gotten payment back at this time.

The room was really nice and I never felt unsafe in any way. The only inconvenience was the check-in situation, but it was told to me in advance, so I suppose one can't be too picky about that. :)
