Very cute bed and breakfast. The staff are very helpful and pleasant. The rooms are cute, clean and quiet. I forgot to bring my pillow, and their pillows were a little on the tough side, but otherwise everything was comfortable and I slept well. For breakfast, a few more options for the hot items would be nice, but overall I really enjoyed everything they provided. I plan to stay again.

I love the Iowa House! I spent three days there in May and five days in August. The location is perfect--a 19th century house in a beautiful neighborhood 5 blocks away from Iowa State Main Campus on a quiet street. I went running each morning and felt very safe and energized by my surroundings. The rooms are clean and very well appointed. The common areas are well maintained, clean, nicely decorated and very comfy. I travelled solo yet had a free communal breakfast each morning. The 24 hour food and drink options were generous. The staff is friendly and helpful. I consider The Iowa House my new home away from home. I love that they had the daily newspapers set out each morning for visitors to read. I cannot wait to go back to Iowa!
