Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Coralville, IA

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Coralville, IA

8/10 Good
"We enjoyed a very nice stay. Staff were very accommodating. Beds were comfortable. Breakfast provided lots of options. We could control the temperature in our room but the lobby, hallways and dining room were quite cold. There was only one small hook in the bathroom for hanging a towel and our room had two queen beds which could accommodate 4 people, if necessary. We recommend adding more hooks or a couple of towel racks in the bathroom and turning up the temperature in the common areas for comfort and to save energy & money."
