Top University of Iowa Museum of Natural History Hotel Reviews

SureStay Plus Hotel by Best Western Coralville Iowa City

10/10 Excellent

"Clean"

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Coralville Iowa City

8/10 Good

"As someone with sensitive mold allergies, I was very pleased. The air in the room was clean and dry, with no humidity or musty smell. The room was quiet, the mattresses were comfortable, and I got a great night's sleep."

Drury Inn & Suites Iowa City Coralville

10/10 Excellent

"There were two times the staff was especially helpful on this stay. The first was a young gal on the morning of check out. I had left my car with my luggage downtown and ubered back. This, plus a couple other items made for a longer morning before I could check out. I asked for an additional 30min and she was just glad I had made the right transportation decision Tristan helped return an item I had left behind. It was a shirt with significant sentimental value from Ireland—something I couldn’t really replace. The Drury is our first choice as a family and it’s also great and easy when traveling solo."

Heartland Inn

8/10 Good

"Clean room, adequate breakfast ."

Quality Inn Coralville - Iowa River Landing

"I was literally there to sleep only. I did not use the pool but it did look well maintained. The breakfast was good but I do not eat refined foods so may choices are always limited. The hotel was full so when I arrived there was only 2 parking spots left. Staff was friendly and helpful."

Hampton Inn Iowa City/Coralville

"Only here one night but room was clean, modern, and comfortable."

Holiday Inn Coralville Iowa City by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very clean, the staff was very nice, I would definitely stay here again."

Hampton Inn Iowa City/University Area

8/10 Good

"I enjoyed my 2 day stay at this Hampton Inn. Good location, plenty of space, comfy room and bed. I really wanted to work out in the gym but the A/C was not working in there and both the ellipticals were in poor repair. The front staff were very kind and helpful and said in December they are getting new machines. The breakfast and coffee were very good. Plenty of free parking!!"
