Drury Inn & Suites Iowa City Coralville

10/10 Excellent

"Totally wonderful accommodations! Very clean room, lobby and community areas. The evening buffet and beverage option was such a great and unexpected treat with so many delicious choices 😋 along with a wonderful breakfast. The pool, hottub and fitness areas were greatly appreciated by us and our grandkids. The room was so spacious and tastefully decorated. We look forward to staying in a Drury Inn again!"

Graduate by Hilton Iowa City

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing stay at the Graduate by Hilton Iowa City! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The hotel is beautifully designed, and every detail of the décor makes it feel unique, cozy, and full of character. We loved how the rooms reflected the local college-town charm while still feeling stylish and comfortable. One of our favorite touches was the room key; it wasn’t just a standard hotel key card, but a fun keepsake that perfectly matched the hotel’s personality. It’s the little details like that that make this place so memorable. The room was spotless, comfortable, and well-appointed, and the overall atmosphere made us feel right at home. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Iowa City!"

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Coralville, IA

10/10 Excellent

"Upon arrival the property looked very well maintained. Entering the building everything was clean and looked very new. Professionally checked in, and asked if we needed anything. Room was surprisingly large, and bed was better than we expected. Bathroom was well stocked, and loved the way the shower curtain was artfully placed. Rooms were very quiet overnight, Breakfast in the morning was very nice with Chocolate Waffles along with about everything else one would want for breakfast. We will definitely think about staying here again! Oh, and the price was very reasonable."

Hyatt Regency Coralville Hotel & Conference Center

10/10 Excellent

"Would have loved to stay a few days and explore more. We stopped overnight during a roadtrip for a great price on Expedia with a river view room. Very clean hotel and rooms. The only exception was the shower curtain was not up to par for Hyatt Hotels. I forgot to take a photo but it was clearly used a lot and not cleaned thoroughly with a few red mildew spots on it. The gym was excellent, equipped Peloton of course! Be I enjoyed using the machines. Very clean, spacious, and organized gym! All in all we loved it and added it to our list of spots during our annual road trip!"
