Super clean and functional rooms. We were there for the weekend for Hawkeye football and other than getting the hang of the parking situation, it's walkable to all things Iowa City! Staff and breakfast were great too!

This was a lovely property. Very clean and super close to the fun downtown area of Iowa City. The only downfall was there was quite a bit of loud traffic noise all through the night. Motorcycles and other vehicles racing down the street at all hours. I would stay again but will turn my white noise machine up a bit more or wear ear plugs.
