Booked this hotel based on specific room type. When I checked in and got to my room it was a different room type. Went back downstairs to front desk and attendant explained that my purchased/prepaid room type was unavailable and they knew this when they gave me the key but didn’t bother explaining or letting me know (I guess they wanted to surprise me). I requested a refund so that I could go to another hotel with the room I needed. They explained that they could not do this. I explained that the room type given to me would not work. They apologized and agreed that it was a bummer I had a room I could not sleep in. I then asked for rollaway bed, which they agreed to. Very frustrating that I needed to troubleshoot and solve the issue to a disinterested attendant after a long drive with 2 kids. Next morning was charged for breakfast although we had prepaid for breakfast. Hotel was in good condition, will try somewhere else next time I am in Iowa City.

Absolutely love the rooftop restaurant. My 10 year old granddaughter thought she was in heaven. Great view of the college campus. So far it’s been the best part of our trip.

Nice property, it was surprisingly quiet for being downtown. Someone dined at restarunt and charged to my room, but it was easily removed. I would suggest the restaurant ask proof of room b4 allowing someone to charge a meal.

I checked into my room and the tv was broke and they got me a new room and I wanted to pay for a movie and that’s not an option, I had to watch regular cable tv and I was in a seminar for 2 days and couldn’t watch a movie. The food was strange and very spicy. I asked if I could do just a regular cheeseburger or plain shrimp instead of the spicy version and I was told no… Then I ordered a White Zinfandel, which is a basic glass of wine & didn’t have it. So I had to go through asking about Chablis or Chardonnay & she told me no. I had to walk to the other hotel next door to get a Mt Dew. The parking was a mess, no one helped me with my bags and I was alone. It just didn’t have much personal service and I had to use my key card even to take the elevator. I also didn’t get my seminar room rate. I just was not impressed and I was disappointed. I had 2 nights away from my kids and I couldn't get anything I wanted. I would’ve stayed next door at the hotel if I would’ve known. They had everything I wanted.
