Graduate by Hilton Iowa City
Very nice room. Very comfortable bed and amenities. There is no vent in the bathroom. The water refill machine on our floor didn’t work properly and splashed everywhere. In the lobby, they had infused water and that was nice. They also had free popcorn from 3-5pm.

Comfort Suites Coralville I-80
The front desk worker came down to the pool area and berated us for eating in the pool area, and we were not eating in the pool area. We had water bottles, that was it. She was extremely rude and way off base. We have stayed here for years and now we never will again.
