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.

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.

Very good breakfast with hand prepared food. Bathroom and shower were well appointed and quite stylish. My wife lived the cappuccino machine in the lobby.

Needed more facial tissue. Front desk was not staffed most of time.

Both people at the desk when I checked in were great. Very friendly. Came back down and needed blankets and sofa set and the girl was very quick get it for me. She even asked if everything worked out when I came down again. The man had brown hair and glasses and the girl had black hair and was African American. Both were great.

Everything was great
