Top Iowa City Hotel Reviews

Heartland Inn

10/10 Excellent

"I really loved the whirlpool room for an incredible price! It was large enough to fit x 2 average sized Americans just fine; which was also a nice surprise. The mattress was pretty firm with comfortable sheets. The room was clean, however it is an older property, so don’t expect perfection. My husband and I were reminiscing about how the decor and the room made us remember going on road trips as children. My husband had breakfast and dinner there everyday and it was hearty and filling and also well prepared. We’d definitely stay again! Clean property, excellent customer service, and great amenities for a fair price!"

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!"

The Highlander Hotel Iowa City, an Ascend Collection Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It is a vibe for sure! It has swanky motel vibes. When you drive up you may ask yourself what is this. However once you see the lobby, pool area and “Lucy” you get it. Throwback vibes in a modern way. Solid updated rooms, nice indoor pool and hot tub. Outdoor fire pits, corn hole and a life sized chess board! You can pick a room next to the pool or away from it. Might not be for everyone, especially if you like a more ritzy hotel. However me and the wife will be back for quick getaways as we only live an hour away. Clean, family friendly and great staff."

Hampton Inn Iowa City/University Area

8/10 Good

"They overbooked and it was quite surprising to check in and then be surprised when someone was already in the room when we walked in. They no longer had any 2 x Queen beds and that made it a bit difficult after being shifted to a King + sofa pairing. Their resolution? $30 refund. Was not impressed."

Travelodge by Wyndham Iowa City

8/10 Good

"This would've been a five star review but for the postage stamp size pillows. If you don't mind sleeping on a throw pillow great! But if you want something bigger this isn't the place for you. The hotel could at least provide a variety. One woman who asked for a regular size pillow never got it"
