The rooms are beautiful and very quiet. The bathroom was a bit small but everything else more than made up for it. It’s my favorite place to stay while in Iowa City.

A great location to stay for a college football weekend. We were able to enjoy everything Iowa City has to offer without ever moving our car as it’s well located on the walking mall downtown. The hotel’s whimsical decor added positively to our experience!
