Top University of Iowa Hotel Reviews

Staybridge Suites Iowa City Coralville by IHG

6/10 Okay

"Rooms are nice, but the walls are thin (especially if you have a connecting room) and the water pressure is terrible. Breakfast is standard, seem to be very dog friendly. Overall a good stay."

Comfort Inn & Suites Coralville - Iowa City near Iowa River Landing

2/10 Terrible

"This property is OLD and in desperate need of updating. The place smells old, the carpets were dirty, the elevator was old and scary. The room looked and smelled terrible. Floors in the bathroom were rotting behind the toilet and shower from obvious water damage. The room smelled musty and old. The curtains were different lengths and hardly worked properly. The entire hair dryer and the base unit came off the wall. The towel bar in the vanity fell when you took a towel down. The bedding is old and snagged. The pillows are so small and very cheap. No way was I walking in the room without shoes. The carpet was gross. And the pool area smelled moldy and looked out of date. Not stepping foot in there. Didn’t try the food at breakfast because the facility was not clean. We made it through the night and got the hell out of there."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Coralville Iowa City

8/10 Good

"Check-in was frustrating as I had called to get my husband's name added to our reservation, and despite being told this was done, they gave him a hard time at check-in because they did not have him listed correctly (somehow they added his name as my middle name instead). Aside from that, the hotel was very nice, clean and updated. Would have been nice if the breakfast was available earlier as we had to leave by 6:30, but it was not."

SureStay Plus Hotel by Best Western Coralville Iowa City

4/10 Poor

"Staff were friendly and willing to help, but the room I stayed in had some odd stains that definitely soured my stay a bit. One looked like a bit of blood on the wall, and another stain in the bathroom looked like someone had just painted over someone’s booger on the wall near the toilet. Breakfast in the morning was great and the lobby was clean and well maintained. Pool and Ice Machines were unfortunately down and closed until further notice. Sound insulation isn’t the greatest since there was this Tan Cadillac Escalade blaring music at maximum volume at random points throughout our stay. We had earbuds to put in to block out the sound, and at least it didn’t happen at night. I’m being a little bit picky about that one as anyone has the freedom to do what they want, but for those seeking a quieter stay, this may throw you off."

Hilton Garden Inn Iowa City Downtown University

2/10 Terrible

"Unfortunately really noisy neighbors who were playing rap music very loud and shouting at each other at 2am. Advised front desk who spoke to them and noise/shouting started again a few minutes later. Advised front desk again but nothing changed. Complained again with same level of disruption at 5am. 7-8 people in next room, loud music, banging in walls, shouting, partying in the hallway. Hotel said they would comp parking and breakfast but no refund. I believe the offending guests should have been removed and rooms should not permit 7-8 guests."

Comfort Suites Coralville I-80

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was great! A pretty decent spread, although the same everyday I really can’t complain. The pool is huge, and hot tub too. Room seemed very clean minus carpet. Socks got dirty so maybe needed a shampooing. I wish the curtains closed all the way… I used a hair clip to help. Staff was all very kind. There were graduations and was a baseball tournament so a thousand kids running around and filled the pool, but they were respectful. I suspect that’s why I didn’t have a lot of hotel options when choosing a hotel. However after visiting, I think I’d come back if ever there again. Very close to everything, so the location was convenient. Quiet, too."
