Stay was good but as I mentioned to the front desk the coffee maker was not cleaned out and the spare pillow in the closet smelled of pizza. Other than that we always enjoy our stay at this location.

8/10 Very good

The room was clean, but there was some hairs on one of the beds on the pillows. They were longer hairs. There was also some type of event in your room and time so there was no parking last night when I got back around 8:30. I had to park blocks away, cause there was absolutely no parking in the parking lot. Then there were people yelling and playing in the hallways until 330 this morning.

This is a great hotel right next to Kinnick Stadium and the University of Iowa Hospitals. The entire staff were so friendly. I stayed during a snow storm so I could be close to the hospital where they were transferring my mom. The lobby bar/restaurant has great food and drink selections.

4/10 Fair

Hotel staff were very friendly. Restaurant staff during the day were abrupt and also rude. The hotel was over run by a youth basketball group. They were loud, running up and down the hallways, and very inconsiderate of other guests. The noise volume from the lobby area carried to our room until well passed midnight both nights. Staff said they were unable to do anything about the noise.
