Been there several times over the last few months and the ice machines haven't been working the entire time.

Can't beat the location. The hotel is so cute and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Great place to stay when visiting Iowa City- especially if you are trying to get a feel for campus.

A great place in downtown Iowa City.

Tv had to be fixed at 9:30 at night, no pool

The staff were extremely helpful and friendly — thank you Tyler & Jesse. The hotel was clean, and had a great location, and the beds were super comfy! No complaints at all

The decor in our room was not what you would expect from a large hotel chain. The room was very comfy, and felt more like visiting a friend or relative's home. It was quiet, and all the staff was very helpful.
-
The room was very overpriced for what was available. Understood it would be an increased price due to graduations but it was excessive.
-
It was but the elevator was broke so that was a bit of a challenge with luggage.

Perfect place to stay for our son’s graduation from the University of Iowa! Fun campus vibe, helpful staff, extremely convenient location for downtown Iowa City with walking distance to many spots. Coffee shop and bar/restaurant adjacent to property and we had coupons included for $15 per person per day that we could use there, which was great! Thanks for the memories! Go, Hawks!

Very clean and unique. Friendly staff. Close to everything on campus. There was nothing I didn’t like.

We were greeted by a large private security guard who stared us down and blocked our entrance to the front desk to check in! Not the experience we were expecting. It felt very uncomfortable and unsafe. I felt like if I would have said anything the guard would have stopped me and made me leave. Apparently, this is the new protocol for Hilton hotels in Iowa City.. You have to get by a large serious guard just to check in. The front desk clerk didn't make it any better. When I approached the check in desk he questioned what I wanted and put me thru the third degree to make sure I was guest. Evidently, this hotel has trouble with people posing as guests or destroying bathrooms. He proceeded to grill me over my parking ticket and then printed out a ticket he said I could use for validation of parking. This ticket did not work and I paid the city $40 to park in a hotel parking garage. We spent close to $400 which included a $250 dinner of basic hamburgers, french fries, potato chips as an appetizer. Our server told us we could receive a discount for staying at the hotel but of course this was bad information or lack of training because we received no discount. It is really too bad because the location is great and the hotel is decorated in a unique vibe. I talked to 3 hotel customer service reps the next day including Kennedy only to get the company line and why they couldn't and wouldn't be able to offer any discount or credit just an apology and the promise of talking
