I enjoyed everything the room was well cleaned and the staff was pleasant. The continental breakfast was wonderful. The only thing that I did not care for was the parking. I was in a big pickup truck and the parking spots were quite narrow but that is all. However Iowa city is a college town so I know that stretching space is probably a necessity.
