Nicest, most helpful staff I've ever met. Room itself was a little rough around the edges, but not to a degree that it was an actual problem, and the view was excellent. Breakfast provided was fairly underwhelming, though, and while I like my rooms cold, I imagine other folks might be concerned about it. And someone left a bra in one of the drawers.

We have stayed at the Iowa House Hotel several times now. There is no hotel more convenient to visiting the college than this hotel! It is not fancy, the furniture and furnishings could use an update, the bathrooms are tiny, but the beds are very comfortable and the rooms have AC and a TV. They offer a complimentary light breakfast that is sufficient. We will stay here every time we come to visit our daughter, as it is very conveniently located right on campus with the parking garage (free) right there!

I like that the college repurposed the facility into a hotel. I did not like the breakfast options were cereal,yogurt, & toast. Overall my stay here was a good experience. It was a nice clean city and I felt very safe here.

A low key and comfortable hotel, more (as its name suggests) a guest house than a hotel. It's not as upscale as a chain hotel, but our room overlooked the river, everything was casual and quiet, and the location, on the university campus, was beautiful and very convenient. It'll be my first choice the next time I return to Iowa City.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
It’s an old building and needs some upkeep. The carpets and hallways are stained. Drywall is peeling in the room. Bathtub drain wouldn’t drain while showering. It’s convenient if you want to walk to restaurants and bars. The staff I’m assuming is college kids. The girl that checked us in was in a crop top so her stomach was showing and the top was low cut as well. Very revealing. I understand it’s a college town but Im not sure that’s very professional to be dressed like that but, What do I know I’m old haha! Good location but it’s a bit run down

This is a basic hotel with no frills, but sometimes that is all you need. And since we were only in Iowa City overnight this fit our needs well. It was clean with friendly staff. It’s right on campus and the views of the river were fantastic. My only complaint is that both beds were extremely uncomfortable, which made for a very bad night of sleep and the reason for the overall 3-star rating.

I liked the well-built older building. The tub in my room needs repair; looks mottled and the on/off is quasi-dangerous the water comes out extremely hot. Bed was great, air-conditioning easy to adjust. Microwave looked beat up. Glad to have fridge. Carpet old. Breakfast offerings very limited. Some hard-boiled eggs would be nice. Coffee was good.

The hotel is part of the university and used as training for their various hospitality programs. Staff were very friendly and helped with any issues we may have had. Room was nice but dated. The bathrooms reminded us of dorm bathrooms with how it was decorated and the types of hardware used. The hallways were very dated and a little dingey. Free parking at the ramp is a nice bonus. A fine stay for the price.
