The breakfast was excellent and the employees that were working during breakfast were very friendly and went out of there way to make sure we had everything we needed.
The weather, but that is out of your control - lol. Everything was good and what we expected; however, the only thing I would mention is that it did not say anywhere that parking was an extra cost if you wanted to park in the ramp. We assumed, but it would have been nice to mention it in the description.

It was a beautiful hotel.The beds were comfortable and the hallways were quiet and clean. The location was easy-to-find and close to the interstate.
Everything was great! We had no criticisms.

The breakfast was wonderful, the staff did a great job preparing the meals. The location is perfect, if one wants to enjoy downtown Iowa City. Great place to stay when in that area.
The one day I put the sign out to clean my room, it did not get cleaned.

Wonderful!!!
We were on the same floor as the weight room. Although it doesn’t seem like it when you are in the weight room, dropping weights, or even setting them down, makes loud noises in the guest rooms!

the location is just great. very upscale urban setting for a incurably low rate, especially for a Saturday night in a college town. the facility was clean and the staff was kind and a delight to wrk with. I will be staying there again!!

Breakfast was quite basic (yogurt cups, wrapped sweetrolls, energy bars); however, the coffee was excellent. The room itself was lovely and spacious with a nice kitchenette area, large and plush bed facing large Smart TV. Great views out the windows but also great that the windows had pull down privacy shades that kept the light out at night. Very quiet although right downtown. The check-in folks were stellar--very helpful and pleasant.
What made this hotel less than stellar was the odd parking arrangement which was not well marked. It was covered and there was access to the hotel from the parking garage, but from the outside that was not at all apparent. One had to go down a long flight of stairs and along a long corridor to get to the front desk check-in if coming in from the garage. This was awkward with my suitcases. Once on the main floor, there were elevators to other floors/the rooms, etc.

Liked room size and comfort. Liked that there was a pull-out couch since we had 5 people. Liked location as we were there to see the college. Liked breakfast included.
Price was a little higher than wanted but not unreasonable. Didn't realize that there wasn't parking on-site when booked and was an additional daily charge. Happily though, we were there when an event was going on so parking ended up being free.
