Always a good option. WiFi was not working properly and our bathroom light would not turn off. Minimal complaint, but if it was a work trip and WiFi was down I would not have been a happy camper.

The graduate is my go-to for downtown Iowa City. Always comfortable and convenient. This time our room wasn’t stocked with enough cups or coffee and housekeeping came in when we were sleeping but otherwise our stay was pleasant. Will stay again.

The heat in our room did not work. It is winter in Iowa with an overnight low of 20 degrees and our heat didn’t work. Then there was a smoke detector in another nearby room that chirped all night. Both are completely unacceptable.

Charming and Clean
This hotel is adorable! Set up like a library and the rooms are unique and charming. Everything was clean and the beds were very comfortable. There is security with the elevators which made us love this place even more. A large coffee shop adjacent to the lobby was perfect. This is right in the center of the main drag for downtown Iowa city - walkable to everything
