During pool season, The Iris will distribute wristbands to motel guests upon check-in. This allows us to know who is a motel guest and who is a day-pass holder. Please wear your wristband while at the pool. Staff may ask you to show your wristbands to ensure all pool guests are either motel guests or day-pass holders. 

Quiet hours are  10pm – 8am. Please be respectful of other guests and limit TV noise, and loud conversations in the corridors, pool deck or parking lot.
