Nice rooms, good breakfast
Hotel staff were friendly, our room was clean and comfortable, and breakfast options were very good. This hotel uses real plates, mugs and tableware--Bravo!! AND, hotel patrons bussed their dishes. Keep up the good work. Overall, we had a nice stay--but I would greatly prefer a surface lot to a parking garage (particularly one that's two levels below ground with no air circulating!). This was not a dealbreaker but if I were travelling alone, I would probably look for other options.

When you entered the hotel it smelled like the sewer had backed up. The cleaning service is lacking. I had taken the sign off the door so they would freshen the room and it took them 3 days and me having to go ask for fresh towels at the front desk.

Not our favorite
The good: employees and staff polite and quick to serve. Breakfast offerings tasty and plentiful. Large, clean room. Great location to many places in downtown Iowa City The not so good: weird light sewer/musty smell in lobby, bar area, and hallways. Air conditioning in room VERY loud and kicked on and off frequently so it kept waking us up throughout the night. Bartender (also front desk person) while pleasant struggled to make signature drinks from their own menu.
