9.6/10 Exceptional! (761 reviews)
Loved staying at the Iowa House! So comfortable, clean, and welcoming. It is so close to campus that we could actually walk. The breakfast was delicious. The breakfast server and chef were attentive and friendly. We will definitely be back!!

9/10 Wonderful! (382 reviews)
The bed wasn't comfortable and the pillows inside the pillow cases were obviously old (yellowed). Room was a bit noisy and a strange configuration. Just wasn't quite as good overall as I expected.

We had a nice stay here. The hotel was nice, clean, and quiet. The staff were very nice and helpful. Continental breakfast was good. The only downside was the pool was not working due to mechanical issues.
