We stayed here for three nights in the 2 bedroom/2 bath suite It was perfect for our family of 4 The staff was all very sweet and friendly

Breakfast was good especially the biscuits and gravy Wednesday night social hour was nice, they offered hot dogs, chili, fresh garden salad, chips and cookies Also beer and wine was a nice surprise After a day out and having a huge lunch, this was all we needed for supper Pool and hot tube are small but was perfect for our boys (7 and 11) even with two other families in the pool area there was plenty of room for everyone to enjoy If we are ever in the area again we will definitely choose to stay again

Phenomenal service Kind employees that will go out of the way to help you The GM is engaged and it is obvious she loves her job

Clean rooms, great breakfast and excellent happy hour with appetizers I frequently use the gym and it is always clean and has enough equipment I travel to Iowa City frequently for work and this is the best place to stay in the region Highly recommend!!

It was really a nice day I have to say that the staff was super friendly and they gave us everything that we needed The location was great

There’s an outdoor mall with a ton of restaurants and specialty shops just outside the front door It’s walking distance from an antique car museum My only complaint is that we had what was considered a one bedroom handicapped accessible suite and it was on the small side The kitchen was nice It had a full size refrigerator and dishwasher A two burner stove with pots and pans and dishes and even a toaster A kitchen table that stuck out from the wall and then the entrance to the living room area had a big armchair just A short distance from the table which was impossible to get my wheelchair through The room with the two beds was impossibly small I could not use my wheelchair in there but the bathroom was big and had a nice removable handicap seat for the shower The pillows were too soft They started out fluffy but ended up pretty flat I had to send my husband to the store for a firmer pillow because they did not have that option Other than that we were very happy The room was neat and clean I would definitely recommend and stay there again

Great room Very clean throughout entire hotel Bed was so comfortable and the family slept well

They have a happy hour and served a few complimentary snacks They also have an area that has items you can buy They’re pricey but available if needed Breakfast was fantastic They had hot and cold breakfast A large variety to choose from The only thing was the pool is a bit small and many kids were swimming, diving, jumping, and doing back flips Adults were in there with alcohol and not watching their kids Not hotels fault but should have a sign for no alcohol in pool area Kids jumping and splashing water to the pool walk way had other kids falling just from walking Told the staff but nothing was done about it Everything else was amazing Worth the stay Will be back

Michael Murrill

We recently stayed at the Springhill Suites in Coralville It is a very nice hotel that is centrally located to other larger towns in the area The hotel has several amenities and our room was spacious and very clean

Every staff member that we encountered was very friendly and willing to help with any request The breakfast provided every morning was delicious and hats off to the staff who maintained it – when we were there, there were several families and at least one baseball team and their families and the staff kept the breakfast area well stocked The hotel is centrally located to several tourist attractions in the area and it was near the shopping mall We really enjoyed our stay and would stay again

First room giving to me was in the middle of being cleaned Went down to front desk and employee went to go check on which rooms were being cleaned After a little over 10 minutes he came back down and gave me a new room

Took the family up to our new room and it was in the middle of being cleaned, the front desk employee told me it was just being wiped down At this point we were completely frustrated and decided to just drive home

This hotel was the perfect place to swim with cousins The pool is large and has plenty of space to play There’s a big hot tub as well

We were shocked to find out that they serve a free dinner meal for guests on Mondays and Wednesdays from 6:00 to 8:00 That was like the icing on the cake for us The breakfast was also wonderful with eggs, sausages, biscuits and gravy, waffles etc We found the staff to be extra friendly and helpful We swam all afternoon and then got up in the morning and swam for several more hours A good time was had by all

Amanda Heinsman

Clean rooms Friendly staff We’ve stayed here multiple times while driving across country

I like that they have room options with bunk beds My kids beg for bunks at other hotels now The pool area is also clean and there are always plenty of clean dry towels ready to go They also always have chilled lemon water in the lobby and it’s so extra refreshing after being out on the road The little details count and this hotel exceeds my families expectations Thank you!

Jeff Crise

Nice hotel Room was clean but had a slight oder to it, nothing so bad though that some plug-ins didn’t fix The room had a kitchen sink, full size refrigerator, small dishwasher, and small stove top, which was very nice

Save some money so you don’t have to eat out everyday Staff was very friendly and helpful I would recommend staying here!

Curtis Schmitt

Room was very clean but hotel is not as clean (I could see a film of dust on common area furniture, lots of paint chips, scratches and chips in the walls, etc) Also, the low rates attract a certain element

If you can afford to stay elsewhere, I’d recommend it Can’t argue with the value though, if you just need a relatively clean place to stay for under $100 For that, this is probably your best bet in the area

Ben Wesly

The hotel and the room we stayed in are both beautiful, the service is awesome Molly who ran the breakfast in the morning was absolutely AMAZING! She was externally nice to everyone and she was the only person working She still managed to run orders from the kitchen and keep up with large demands

She was extremely generous to me and my wife each morning and very helpful with everything we wanted for breakfast I would definitely stay here again!I would recommend getting a room with breakfast included because you save so much on it if you stay multiple nightsHope your experience is as great as mine!

Sarah Tyler-Peterson

The hotel and staff are top notch Everyone was welcoming The rooms were spotless and the linen and pillows were so comfortable

Then my daughter forgot her beloved baby blanket She figured this out after we drove home, 5 hours away We called and the staff were SO accommodating and looked for her lost blanket They called us a few hours later and the housekeeping staff found it!!! They mailed it back to us 🙂 This went above and beyond anything I’ve experienced at a hotel!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Vicki Coulter

Wish I could remember names of all who served us Wonderfully gracious and helpful I do remember Ms Michelle, the gracious 1am night auditor who checked us out and made sure to meet our needs that stormy night

(Thanks!)I messaged several questions before and after our stay and always received gracious, timely answer LOVED THAT But not near as much as I loved our room … gorgeous, roomy, and open with those stunning floor to ceiling windows… and the food at Class Act, I think their restaurant is called Top notch all the way Be sure to make your way to the back garden outside from the restaurantHighly recommend bumping up your budget a touch to get a suite! Gorgeous kitchenette with roomy fridge and optional, yet economical, huge drawer-format microwave Need to bring your own bowls and silverware, however! __My bad I did not even ask the front desk, and as it turned out, kitchenware could have been easily supplied upon request! I should have expected such graciousness considering the rest of my experience!__Bed is comfy and beautiful, and shower divine!

Laura Nennig

Staff was excellent all around; friendly reception desk staff, and breakfast attendant worked with my request easily and asked if I had time to wait for her to make it rather than making me feel like I was imposing (oatmeal was out near the end of their serving hours and she made more for me) Good location near hwy 80 and lots of local restaurants and a walking trail across the street (behind the hotel) Rooms were clean and was great for getting computer work done

And I didn’t feel unsafe at the location

Cindy Van Den Top

The staff is super friendly and helpful but the hotel needs work It looks like they’ve started updating Our room had recently been painted and the corridor had new carpet, wallpaper and lights

The doors need to be replaced Our latch didn’t work well at all which made it difficult to open and close Doors to outside were also left unlocked or propped open Furniture in the room also needed replacement We probably wouldn’t stay here again

Sarah Hubert

The location was nice and it has potential to be a great place to stay but the property inside and out was dirty Cigarette butts everywhere outside on the patio area The pool was closed but we were able to use a sister property’s pool

Someone was smoking weed in their room and the whole 4th floor hall smelled of skunked weed The breakfast left a lot to be desired too Who serves scrambled egg whites?!

I needed a hotel during my husband’s hospital stay The place fit my needs perfectly Clean, safe and easy to get to

After a long day it was wonderful to get a evening meal without having to drive all over The staff were extra helpful, kind and considerate The room was clean and the bed very comfortable Yes I will be recommending the Drury Inn

Sparky Grunewald

I am a regular guest at number of Drury locations I have never been disappointed Recently, at the Iowa City location, I arrived just after the evening buffet had closed

I walked into the dining area to ask if there was any food available The staff assembled a nice meal for me which I appreciated very much My room was very impressive and the mattress may have been the most comfortable that I had experienced in years! I will definitely stay here again if I’m in the area

Robin Springer

We took a midweek break and spent a Wednesday night at the Highlander, it was the perfect combination of fun and relaxation! Our poolside room was inviting and the high top table right outside the room was great to enjoy the vibe of the pool area The drinks were top notch and the menu was great for sharing – street tacos, sliders and pizzas The Boom Boom Chicken sliders were so good, we ordered a second plate! A late night soak in the hot tub followed by listening to albums on a record player in our room made for a memorable night! Thank you Highlander for such a wonderful experience!

Susan Roeder

This is the best hotel in Iowa City by far Absolutely loved the pool and the rooms were clean and very stylish The free breakfast during the week is very slim

Would be nice to include danish (There is a wonderful French danish shop in town that everyone loves called Deluxe) and wish there was a “potato” option such as French fries ,etc on their menu for the kids Staff was simply awesome No complaints whatsoever Great job in remodeling this hotel!!!

Andrew Elder

Staff was friendly and accommodating They seemed genuinely interested in making sure you had a great stay and had what you needed Decor was really cool and unique

Pool area and courtyard were amazing Free snacks and coffee around the clock The mattress and pillows were unbelievably comfortable for what you normally get in a hotel PLUS very dog friendly! This will be our go to place when visiting Iowa City from now on

Nancy Hoey

Not what I expect from a Hilton property When I checked in, my room smelled like smoke The front desk clerk graciously offered me a new room

Shower was disgusting, looked like mold growing in the tiles and hairs from previous guest Personal items from previous guest were still in the cabinet At 4:30 PM, no one was available to clean the shower so I went out, bought some cleaning products and did it myself My daughter and I wanted a night in but the television didn’t work No one to fix itThe location is really good, the front desk staff (thank you Warren) did their best This hotel clearly needs help

Rap Girl

This is everything a hotel should be! Clean, comfortable, relaxing! I loved everything about our stay from the comfortable bed to the large soaking bath tub I took a star off because it’s hard to find & get in/ out of with luggage- there is no pull in & the cars in front were parked over an hour so we had to haul everything on the trolly down the street- there is also no parking so we had to leave our vehicle over night in an off site parking garage that wasn’t very secure

Larry Thanos, Jr.

At one time this was an upscale modern hotel, but the ravages of time combined with an obvious lack of maintenance have taken their toll There is a LOT of bare concrete in this building which will last forever, but the rugs and furniture are looking tiredI could tell the minute I stepped into the lobby and saw the battered wooden table next to the registration desk

The lobby seemed a little grimy and smelled the same I had reserved a room with a balcony, but after dragging my bags over the long trek from the parking garage and settling in, found the lock on the balcony door was broken The sign on the door said to lock it (because someone could climb over from the adjoining balconies and enter the room) but it would not lockThe desk person was very helpful and quickly switched me to a room without a balcony That room had a broken window shade which would not open and a carton of eggs in the fridge I was just happy to finally be able to sit down 45 minutes after arrivingThere is no hotel restaurant so there is no food service – except a sushi place which, although not that clean, had a lively after-work crowd The desk person gave me directions to a sister hotel where I could get breakfastThe Vetri is overdue for a facelift If you want a sparkling clean, immaculate hotel, try one of the other Hilton properties within a block or two If you aren’t that fussy and don’t need frills, give it a try

We had the BEST STAY!!! The hotel was Gorgeous inside and out The staff always asked if we were enjoying our stay, or if we needed anything The food and the servers were fantastic

One of my favorite amenities was the blackout drapes Our room was DARK when we woke up, so we really got to sleep as long as we wanted I loved everything about our stay, and now I don’t want to stay anywhere else in Iowa Thanks for excellent service and a restful trip Highly recommend!

Anne Miller

We were there for 4 days with a lot of students The staff are very friendly, did a great job on keeping up with housekeeping tasks, and it was a very nice place to stayMy one suggestion is that you make sure you do not leave anything behind, because if you do, it’s a nightmare to try to get it back

My daughter left her new electric toothbrush that her orthodontist wants her to use dailyit’s been over a month and countless phone calls I even sent a prepaid, self addressed box to them as per their instructions, and nothing Multiple times I’ve called, someone will say they are checking on it and will call me back within 10 minutes Still nothing I’ve already spent $15 in postage to get it back and am dreading going to buy another toothbrush :/Edited after response from hotel: I have talked to so many people and someone checked with an assistant manager and told me I had to send the prepaid box with return label The reservation was not under my name I will send an emailEdited 6/14/22: I emailed on 6/9 to the email address given by hotel response and have received no responseEdited 6/17/22: I called today since I have not gotten any response from my email They told me they do not have the toothbrush and that they should have just sent it to me (when someone initially found it) So, I’m giving up at this point and a month and a half later am going to buy a new toothbrush and lowering my review score

saurabh shegokar

Excellent stay Hyatt is my go to place for accommodations when it comes to travel In-house Starbucks makes life easier for coffee lovers like me

Prior stays here have been good, this one wasn’t one, first elevator broke, requested first floor room, 3rd floor is what I got, the first room hadn’t been cleaned nor was the family next to me and across the hall, but they did quickly get us all moved, they did say that the housekeeping staff was short only one employee showed up So i believe this Is not a normal occupation as the rooms that were ready looked spotless, oh in the first room the previous occupant actually left a polite note for the cleaning thanking them for doing such a great job 👍Breakfast was very much continental quick style unlike their normal

So that’s why this review is low But the staff did the best they could I’ll try again

I wanted to book a hotel room for my granddaughter who was traveling from out of state and stopped in Coralville for the night I spoke to Matt who informed me that he was the manager He was very accommodating and extremely polite

My granddaughter said the room was perfect and really enjoyed the breakfast Matt even stayed on the phone with me until my granddaughter was safe inside I had peace of mind knowing she was in good hands Thank you Matt!

Shirley Welander

Matt was first face we saw & he was very pleasant & personable… upgraded our room to make everything work out Hotel is clean & well maintained Breakfast was the final coup de Grace… very good with lots of choices

The staff refilled supplies immediately as neededKudos of great value for the money Would definitely stay here again Thank you to staff! All was good!

This is the best hotel experience I’ve had my entire life We splurged and went for the nice suite at the Hilton and I am impressed! I felt like absolute royalty Clean, upgraded, security, and the best customer service and smiling faces I’ve ever seen

And the complimentary wifi is FAST!!! I will never want to book less quality again This place is the place to beat!! And thank you for treating our service dog with respect and the assistance setting up the room!

Charles Long

Definitely the best Hilton property we stayed at during our trip This is what you would expect from a Hilton property The staff was great, the facilities were well maintained, the bar and restaurant were definitely better than the other two Hilton Gardens we stayed at, by far

The staff were top notch I would say probably too 5 hotels I have ever stayed in, and I have traveled around the world and stayed many different places The place to stay if you are traveling through, or staying for a bit

I travel for work, so my hotel review is based on years of experience I can easily say this is the nicest Courtyard I have ever been in! Everything from the breakfast/bar area, to the workout room, to the check in area, exceeds all expectations The room darkening curtains in the guest room ensure a dark room for sleeping

Don’t hesitate to book a night or two hereMy only request to all hotel fitness centers is to have lower weights 4,6, 8, 10, 12 pounders please Women like to workout too! 😊

Nice room, mostly helpful staff, blah restaurant Otherwise nice stay spoiled by staff allowing event guests to park in handicap spots without permits Needed a van accessible spot for my daughter and she was allowed people to park in spots without permit

Lucky she hadn’t given them all away Not realizing that we actually have handicap plates she joked “don’t worry I won’t have you towed” Completely unacceptable and spoiled and otherwise nice stay

First time staying there, but won’t be my last The well furnished room was well decorated with Iowa themed decor The bed was comfy and the bathroom was updated

My only complaint was that I set the AC at 69, but the temp never got below 73 in the room Granted, it was 98 degrees outside that day, so likely the AC couldn’t keep up The lobby is open and inviting to guests to hang out, and play games Would love to have some sort of rewards program for frequent stays

Unique interior design with full of Hawkeye I enjoy old-school like atmospheres Room was clean and well organized

Staff are friendly and helpful The location is the best part of this hotel that I can easily access restaurants and school buildings The shower needs to be improved that after taking a shower, water goes everywhere around the bathroom floor

The first room we were given was full of trash I’m not sure if they accidentally gave us a room someone was still staying in or it hadn’t been cleaned yet, but I’ve never had that happen before The staff was very apologetic and gave us a new room

I’ve never been to a Graduate hotel before The decor is very unique and fun, but I was suprised this hotel was rated 4 stars as the facility/rooms are a bit outdated The attached coffee shop was good The location was very convenient for shopping The room had a mini fridge but no microwave And you have to park in the public garage next door ($14/day or $1/hr) & walk over There are no carts so you have to carry all your stuff

After a very long day, I arrived to find a clean, bright room with the lights on to greet me! It seemed like it had new carpet, fresh white paint, and new furniture The bed was comfortable too I stayed for 4 days while attending a class which lasted 9 hours each day, so very much appreciated coming back to a quiet, clean room each evening

Another thing I enjoyed was the full sized Mr Coffee coffee maker & Folgers coffee in my room instead of the cheaper coffee hotels usually offer The staff was friendly and helpful as wellThe only thing I think people need to be aware of is that there isn’t an elevator It was not a problem for me to climb stairs, but if that would be a concern, be sure to request a room on the first floorI will definitely stay there again next year when I take another class!

Stemming from a random Google search “hotels with a kitchen” we found this place what a hidden gemwere from Chicago and we were looking for something just far enough away and a weekend to put our phones down and enjoy each others company

the 2 sketchy things about this place is1 that it’s on the way far side of towndont let that fool you plenty of shopping restaurants and very clean area2 borders an airportwe didn’t hear 1 planewe took a leap and got here after a 35 hour drivestaff was super friendly, lobby was clean and when we got to our room that was also very cleanmy only suggestion to the owner of the property would be a larger TV in the living roomthis place is seriously great for a weekend getaway and has a nice kitchen for making food with your special someone10/10 I couldn’t be happier we will be back(photo was taken as we were Leaving)and ps the whirlpool was awesome and super relaxing

Nicely remodeled but expensive place to stay First time I’ve ever paid to park at a hotel and at $14/day it’s very pricey and the parking lot was confusing and several of our families had issues with the exit There is also no complimentary breakfast and at $9 for cereal and toast it was worth the short drive to eat at Village Inn

We were walking distance from the university pool and that was nice but I think I would prefer a less expensive hotel with complimentary parking and breakfast and only pay the $5/day to park at the pool When we checked in we asked for a late check out and we were told that’s no problem but housekeeping was knocking at 11 and when I told her we had a late check out she was frustrated and said that was the third room that had a late check out but the front desk didn’t bother to inform housekeeping We had a nice stay but there wasn’t anything special about this hotel to make it worth the additional expense I think we will choose a less expensive option when we return to Iowa city

The pictures are way better than it actually is The bed in our room had deep imprints that you could see where 2 bodies laid The pillows had absolutely no support

In the shower there was a little mold in the ceiling and part of the wall behind the toilet was broken and peeling up The hot tub was not working but the pool was warm The front desk staff was super nice Over all it was just a little too run down for me and needs lots of updates I paid around $100 and there were nicer hotels for the same price Breakfast was just ok and a bit of a walk and a little difficult to find

Cindy Niemier

I was a bit concerned after reading other recent reviews but was pleasantly surprised with the room We had a standard king room It was clean, comfortable and spacious

The restaurant was closed (on Sundays) but the front desk clerk said breakfast would be served in the morning I even did recon and searched it out the night before since we were staying because of a medical appointment the next morning and time would be of the essence To say it was poorly marked, as was virtually everything, is an understatement But I found it and headed that way at an ungodly hour the next morning Nothing No staff, no lighting, no signs indicating where to go We ended up next door at the Hilton where we were informed they’re “connected” and breakfast would be there for the day Apparently every Monday! I used to love to stay in hotels, but this is another reason, in addition to everything others have mentioned, why I do NOT!!!

Dee Diva

The pictures were very deceiving This chain used to be the IT hotel…this is no longer the case The staff was great and the initial views of the hotel were very nice but once you entered the room…

The bathroom barely fit one person I had to use the toilet with the door open, the shower was wedged behind the door and I found a used towel in the shower The bed was very bouncy on rails and the pillows were trash I have a stiff neck and I couldn’t bare to spend a second night at that place I was happy we had to leave early

Great hotel right off the freeway Easy to get to and get back on the freeway the next morning The suites are very spacious for a family of 6

Rooms were very clean with a full kitchen Beds were comfortable and free breakfast was a nice touch in the morning Waffle griddle for fresh waffles, egg and cheese omelets, bacon, hashbrowns, muffins, fruit, bagels, oatmeal, etc We would definitely stay here again if we are in the area
