  : Hotel was nice. Rooms was great, price was great and downtown location was perfect
  : Wish the pool would’ve been opened and the breakfast wasn’t much to brag about

  : Good location in Iowa City
  : Cost of room 350 a night since it was game day in Iowa City. Television didn’t work in first room and then moved to another room. Tried to watch Iowa football game on the tv but hotel didn’t have the Big Ten network. Hard to believe hotel doesn’t have the Big Ten network when Iowa is in the Big Ten and hotel is where a lot of football fans stay. Also no hot breakfast and basically nothing for breakfast. For 350 a night a complete rip off. Will not stay here again. Thanks

  : 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.

  : 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.

  : I emailed the hotel after booking inquiring about a pet fee. Never heard back. Found out the pet fee was $50. Ridiculous. I wouldn't have booked the room had I known. So what was a spendy treat for my husband and I became a very expensive endeavor. Add a $14 parking fee. Very dissatisfied.
