Top Iowa City Hotel Reviews

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Coralville Iowa City

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Coralville Iowa City

10/10 Excellent
"The beds were comfortable and the heat was very controllable. The room was clean, the fridge/freezer was great. A couple of issues that could be better. The toilet seat did not fit the toilet very well and there were no towel bars in the bathroom. A bit irritating though not really all that serious. The big problem for me was the breakfast. Breakfast buffet - good idea but not well thought out. Oatmeal was only instant, cereal was only "kids" pre-sweetened. Sweet rolls pre-packaged and unidentifiable - not my thing. I was looking for some English muffins or good quality bread for toast - NOT. The silverware was not stocked and the clerk came out and put in some plastic ones - I asked if there was any cheese for the scrambled eggs. She did not understand English and I had to ask and explain 3 times, cheese? for the eggs? No she didn't know of any. Evening clerk was fine. So room was great, bed was excellent, breakfast did not cut it."
