If you’re looking for a place with good rooms, a convenient location to the downtown area and professional and courteous staff. Then I recommend this place 10 out of 10. Also one of the best hotel breakfast I’ve ever had. Can’t forget to shout out to our receptionist Rory. She was a great help during this stay.

This hotel is conveniently located near downtown Iowa City and University of Iowa campus. The rooms were clean and light with lots of windows. Mini-refrigerator, coffee maker and microwave in room. The lobby is spacious with lots of seating options. They offer a great complimentary breakfast with a chef to make breakfast tacos, omelets etc. They had a yogurt bar, cereals, granola bars, bagels, breads, scrambled eggs, sausage, juice and coffee. Would stay here again.
