Top Iowa City Hotel Reviews

The Trail Inn - Amana IA

10/10 Excellent

"There’s nobody on site. Everything is done through your phone or a welcome screen in the lobby. Not to worry. Seamless. Temp to cold? Send a text. Housekeeping? Send a text. Would stay here again."

Drury Inn & Suites Iowa City Coralville

10/10 Excellent

"This place is awesome. Perfect location if you are attending games at the Mercedes Benz stadium or the State Farm arena. The staff is amazing. I would like to recognize the young lady who checked us in she was awesome. I hate I didn’t get her name!"

Hilton Garden Inn Iowa City Downtown University

10/10 Excellent

"Great location downtown in Iowa City. Convenient parking for a fee-not bad. Fantastic rooftop restaurant, The Vue, that overlooks the city/campus! The facility also offers an outdoor, partially covered, cocktail area. Be sure to make a reservation on football weekends."

Hampton Inn Iowa City/University Area

8/10 Good

"I enjoyed my 2 day stay at this Hampton Inn. Good location, plenty of space, comfy room and bed. I really wanted to work out in the gym but the A/C was not working in there and both the ellipticals were in poor repair. The front staff were very kind and helpful and said in December they are getting new machines. The breakfast and coffee were very good. Plenty of free parking!!"
