The Graduate Iowa City is the perfect location, right in the heart of downtown. The hotel staff was quick to assist during a busy time. The room was spacious and the hotel had everything we needed - coffee shop, dining, etc. and parking was on site in the garage next door. I'd gladly stay here again.
