This is one of my favorite places to stay downtown Iowa City. In walking distance to the bar area, and has its own private parking garage. It is shared with apartments, but you need a key to get in and park. Other hotels use city garages and I dont feel as safe when traveling alone. This hotel also has free breakfast which is great.
