8/10 Very Good
Nov 16, 2024
Overall enjoyed our stay but could’ve been better.
Let’s start with the pros:
1. One of the cleanest hotels I’ve stayed at!
2. No weird smell in the hallways
3. Looks updated and the elevators work quickly! No lagging.
4. The free BREAKFAST! Everything was absolutely delicious. There were both hot and cold options. No waffle maker though if that’s your thing.
4. Private heated parking garage.
5. Friendly staff.
Now the cons:
1. The queen beds were way too soft. It would dip in the middle making a large U. I woke up with a sore back.
2. Two out of the three of us had to take cold showers. I let the water run for several minutes and it never got hot. The last person to shower said he got hot water though.

Great hotel, great location
Perfect location for a weekend with multiple events across downtown Iowa City. Easily walkable to the UI campus and downtown. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. Nice breakfast which was included in the rate. Lobby bar with a bartender during certain hours and light snacks. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Heated, covered parking garage for a modest fee. Will stay here again when in Iowa City!
