Stay was good but as I mentioned to the front desk the coffee maker was not cleaned out and the spare pillow in the closet smelled of pizza. Other than that we always enjoy our stay at this location.

This is a great hotel right next to Kinnick Stadium and the University of Iowa Hospitals. The entire staff were so friendly. I stayed during a snow storm so I could be close to the hospital where they were transferring my mom. The lobby bar/restaurant has great food and drink selections.

Clean room, friendly and helpful staff. My only criticism is that WiFi is not free unless you sign up for the Marriott program which I didn’t want to. Otherwise, great location and hotel.

Parking lot is very convenient and free, the front desk was very warm and welcoming, the restaurant and bar had a great selection and the room was very clean and spacious. My only issue was the bed was not as comfortable as I would’ve liked in, the sheets were very clingy.
