The best. Hotel perfect. Restaurant amazing pork chop! Staff great!

All good

My Iowa home away from home.

Great property. Vue restaurant was really underwhelming. Small portions, subpar flavor.

Great location in downtown Iowa City, walking distance of lots of food and entertainment. Nice pool facilities

Not a great value. Parking cost $17. Breakfast was not included and cost $10.

Great location Lovely hotel

Modern decor and clean

Good location - walking distance to campus area buildings and shops

Location is perfect. Staff was not trained. Property is already worn. Bathrooms are much to small!

Location was great to downtown area and the university

Major construction next door made it loud for anyone other than an early riser. It also made going out for a stroll a bit more challenging depending on where we were headed.
