The staff was wonderful. There were a lot of us in the lobby all arriving at the same time. The lady at check in was so friendly and helpful. Even in the chaos she was so calm and professional. The location was top notch within walking distance to the stadium, a brewery and good food.

Rooms were nice. Newly updated. Hotel is currently being renovated which was not listed when booking. Slightly inconvenient to only have ice on first floor as well but have nothing posted about it. Breakfast was good.

There are a lot of close places to eat within walking distance. It's also very close to downtown Iowa City. The only negative thing I have and it might have been my devices but the wifi was really spotty especially in the fitness center. The wifi seemed to work well in my room.
