I cannot recommend this hotel enough! from the very moment we checked in we felt welcome! I believe it was Vanessa at the front desk who checked us in. she had the most bubbly and welcoming personality! she gave us the run down on parking, amenities the hotel offered, how to get there, and any other questions we had she was insanely ready to help! the night staff was also wonderful! I frequent the iowa city area often and i will definitely be making this a reoccurring spot to stay as well as recommending it to anyone else coming this way!

Great breakfast, enjoyed the pool, room was comfortable, great view. Only minus was that people in room above me were partying late one night and I couldn't sleep - I called the front desk and they took care of it.

I left my purse in the dresser of our room and didn't realize until we had gotten all the way home (2 hours away). I called the front desk, they located my purse, and I was able to pick it up. Thank you to your honest staff :)

Great views/Iowa sunsets

This hotel is very convenient to University of Iowa! Completely walkable and close. Also very close to downtown dining options and Prairie Lights bookstore. If you do bring a car, prepare yourself for a parking adventure--this garage goes DEEP. Breakfast was good, room and common areas were clean and the view was incredible from the upper floors. Signage for ice/amenities could be better.
