Top Iowa City Hotel Reviews

Heartland Inn

6/10 Okay

"Ice machine out of order on my side of building. Side exit door didn't accept cards multiple times. One of the two cards didn't work in the room door. Manager offered a free stay for the trouble, so that was nice."

Travelodge by Wyndham Iowa City

8/10 Good

"This would've been a five star review but for the postage stamp size pillows. If you don't mind sleeping on a throw pillow great! But if you want something bigger this isn't the place for you. The hotel could at least provide a variety. One woman who asked for a regular size pillow never got it"

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Coralville, IA

10/10 Excellent

"The property was beautiful and in excellent shape the room was clean and quiet. Air was controlled by me which was great! The staff was very friendly and professional. Also very helpful as I could not figure out something and within 5 minutes they were there to help. The only thing I was surprised by was no tv streaming service and old fashioned what is on is what you can watch. Breakfast was good and plentiful."

Comfort Suites Coralville I-80

6/10 Okay

"I forgot to tell them our room had no water pressure. It was literally a tiny sprinkler coming out. I almost took the shower head off myself and tried to clean it out but I didn’t have time. It was clean, but looks like it’s being renovated. It could definitely be a little better. It was a cheap stay but you definitely saw the rust on the bathroom doors, the over flow sink would go all over the toilet paper, some of the lights didn’t work. But it wasn’t a terrible stay. Just could have been improved."

SureStay Plus Hotel by Best Western Coralville Iowa City

6/10 Okay

"The staff was nice and friendly. The bed was comfortable. The water pressure in the shower was amazing! Overall, our two hotel rooms did not look or feel dirty. The couch in our room had some stains and it was kind of gross looking. A vacuum needs run in all corners, especially in the bathroom. Some of the sheets and towels had gross stains on them. The air conditioners in our rooms worked well enough but were very loud, kicking on and off, even when the fan was turned to always run on low. Overall it was not a bad experience. We would stay there again."
