I came to Iowa City in order to give a talk on campus at the University of Iowa. The organizers put…read moreme in this hotel. When you are in a preselected hotel you never know what you are going to get. Sometimes universities really want to wow you and will put you in extravagant hotels. Other times departments are on a budget crunch and put you in the cheapest option. This hotel hit the exact sweet spot for me. It was right by campus as well as the downtown. That meant it was easy for me to meet with colleagues but also walk around town and go to dinner. The rooms were spacious, the hotel was clean, and there was amble parking. The parking is a bit odd in that it uses a city owned parking garage and you have to get vouchers from the front desk. I didn't drive at all while in town, so this didn't impact me but it is something to be aware of. The amenities at the hotel were good. There was a typical hotel gym and pool that I checked out. There is also a rooftop bar/restaurant. I went up one night for a drink and enjoyed it. There is a large open space and then an outdoor patio. It was a mixture of college kids and people visiting the city. It is one of the taller buildings in Iowa City so the view was great. Now the most important question . . . how was the breakfast? There was pretty standard hotel fare, and most importantly a waffle maker. It made my morning.

Arrived very late and, luckily, an employee was outside for me to ask where parking is (there is a…read moreparking garage behind the property). That part was a little tricky, and apparently, guests pay for parking... or at least I had to. Other than that, the room was great! Beds are very comfortable and clean. Downtown Iowa City is really cool, too. I will definitely stay here again.

I applaud the eco-friendly touches like actual flatware rather than plastic, and fixed dispensers in the shower rather than waste from plastic bottles. The staff is friendly (and welcoming to our pets, which is refreshing) and the breakfast was very good.

You'll be greeted by a heaping pile of home-baked oatmeal cookies AND an adorable & friendly pug-beagle named Jemma. The Blue Room on the second floor has a private shower and toilet, all very clean, and a comfy bed with armchair + mini-fridge. Self-service tea is right outside the door. Our weekday breakfast included lemon blueberry scones baked from scratch, oatmeal apple muffins (zucchini muffins the next day), and a giant, sizzling cheese-mushroom-onion-tomato frittata with coffee, freshly squeezed orange juice, and gourmet teas. Oats and flax also available. Organic berries and cantaloupe. Will definitely stay here again if ever back in town... HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

The staff is super nice and they greet you often. The hotel lobby is very much in a school theme, as is much the room and general hotel decor. There's also a consistent Iowa theme. One of the elevators was broken during my entire stay. That seemed odd. One of the days the other elevator broke and we needed to walk up to the second floor to use the service elevator. This was the worst thing about my experience here and it was not very Hilton. The room was Iowa and Filed of Dreams and Gene Wilder (an Iowa alumni). The decor is fine. The room has a kettle for tea. I know they had coffee makers before, which I would have preferred. The housekeepers come at different times every day. But they emptied trash, made the bed, and stocked new towels. That part worked fine. The hotel doesn't have gift or sundries shop. There is a bar/diner and a coffee shop adjacent to the hotel. They're both fine. This hotel isn't the newest or the most well equipped. But it's fine. The unrepaired elevator is pretty bad, and some people would find it unforgivable. It certainly was a negative. The rooms are clean. The TVs are a decent size. I used my iPad more than the TV. It's a decent place with a college vibe in a city that revolves around the university. It was a decent place to stay. It's clearly not five stars It's closer to 3 than 4. But the nice people who work here, Gene Wilder's college ID as my room card, silhouettes of Willy Wonka and an Oompa Loompa above the beds, and embracing Field of Dreams makes me feel more fondly about the place.

Our only problem here was that there was an extremely loud party across/in the hall by our room our first night there. We did get a different room for the second night and had no problems. I like that there is an outlet and shelf by "my" side of the bed. That seems like a small thing but it is a very uncommon amenity and it REALLY makes my life easier and is much appreciated. Decor is whimsical and interesting. Room has a fridge, I always like that. There is a cafe here with fantastic coffee drinks. Also, I got a hug from Branford Marsalis here but I can't guarantee that others would be so fortunate. If we come to the Stop/Time festival in the future - and we probably will - we absolutely will stay here again.

It was Memorial Day weekend but we needed rooms close to the university medical center. They have a…read morehospital rate (which is about the same as the state/govt rate). Regardless, it's helpful. I think you could walk the distance between the hotel and the hospital if you wanted to. Staff could not have been more helpful or friendly. I called to reserve a room daily and they said they didn't need any credit card data until we were there (which again was helpful). I only got coffee at the bistro once (great) and only one meal, the avocado toast. I thought it was presented well and was pretty darn delicious The rooms were very comfortable. The only issue we had was that we had sporadic cell service on the third floor. Requested another floor for the next night and all was well. I LOVED the shower and the bathroom. Super large and luxurious. I'm sure it's super crowded on game days. Again, cudos to the staff!

I've stayed there a few times this fall and the one thing they need to work on is keeping things in good repair. Last week my double queen with balcony had a shade that would only rise halfway leaving the room dark most of the time. It also had a leak in the tub that caused tons of water to saturate the bathroom rug and go all over the floor that we had to clean up with a few washcloths since they only give you two towels. On the way back we had a king with balcony and there was a weird scratchy thing in the tub that was either covering up damage or there to prevent people from slipping although it was such a weird narrow strip I can't imagine it was for the latter really. A piece of it was bent up so if you tried to use the tub it would scratch your back and perhaps break the skin so I didn't try that for long since it was so uncomfortable. Also there was a tiny amount of toilet paper on the roll in the bathroom and no extra roll like usual. Things like that probably mean next time I will try one of the other places in town, which makes me sad, because I would always stay here if I had not had two rooms in a row in one week that were both in disrepair. It's too bad renting a place for the tub and then having the tub be weird and too scratchy and sharp to actually use. Hopefully this is something they will work on and maybe I will try it again next summer to see if anything is broken this time.
