This was a lovely property. Very clean and super close to the fun downtown area of Iowa City. The only downfall was there was quite a bit of loud traffic noise all through the night. Motorcycles and other vehicles racing down the street at all hours. I would stay again but will turn my white noise machine up a bit more or wear ear plugs.

Liked: Room comfort
Spacious, enjoyable, could use a little TLC.
The room set up was great, the furniture was comfortable, the room had been cleaned but the walls needed cleaning/fixing in many places. There were no water bottles in the room which typically find to be a regular amenity. While the customer service was fantastic, there were a few times we went to the desk and no one was around for quite a while. Late check out was not available even though the hotel seemed rather empty which was disappointing.

This hotel is updated and looks very nice, the rooms are very clean and large, located walking distance to everything that you might need. The parking for the hotel is impossible to find, we ended up parking elsewhere. They also put us on the 3rd floor and we had a lovely view of air conditioning units and a wall, absolutely nothing else. We have never been to Iowa and we’re expecting to see at least something out of our window but absolutely nothing, that room might as well not have any windows. I would not be returning to this hotel.
