Loved our stay. The only problem was that one of the elevators didn’t work during our stay so sometimes we had to wait a lot to be able to enter the other elevator. The room was nice and clean! The location is amazing!!!We are coming back again next month.

We really enjoyed our stay at Graduate by Hilton Iowa City! The themed decor gave the hotel a fun, unique character, and the location couldn't have been better. It’s convenient to Kinnick Stadium as well as the downtown shops and restaurants. The on-site dining options were also excellent, making it easy to enjoy great meals without leaving the hotel. We'd definitely stay here again!

Very charming and affordable hotel! We loved the decor of our room, seventies vibes with a country twist. There are NO ammenities beyond the basics like soap. Literally not even a glass in the room to drink some water or a coffee maker. The hotel is nestled in a great location. Parking is not included but affordable. I would stay here again.

I’m not quite 21 yet, but I wanted to see my girlfriend while she was doing an internship through the University of Iowa. Being an 18+ hotel I booked with Graduate and was able to see my girlfriend for the weekend! The room was fantastic, the staff were amazing, and everything was nice and clean. I absolutely loved the Iowa University retro design in the rooms as well. Such a good hotel! 100% recommend!!!
