Verified Hotel Guest Traveling as Couple March 30, 2024
Positives: The balcony room was really nice. It gave it a nice feel. I really like the comfort of the beds. The design and style throughout the hotel itself was really cool.
Negatives: Not that I can think of.
Michael Group Traveler January 26, 2024
Positives: Looks great online.
Negatives: Not for the price
Annette November 19, 2023
Positives: Room was clean and comfortable. Very pretty hotel. Decorated very cool!! Loved all the Christmas trees! Nice game room and pool area. They have a nice outdoor area also, with outdoor chess and bags. Breakfast was amazing.
Negatives: The hot tub was down and the vevt in our bathroom didn't work. However, the staff did have someone coming to work on the hot tub.
Review
Superb
Amanda Family with Young Children November 17, 2023
Positives: The variety of activities for all ages, beautiful pool and snack shack.
Negatives: Rooms need another mirror in them (outside of the bathroom).
Review
Will definitely stay here again. Absolutely loved it!
Erica Traveling as Couple November 13, 2023
Positives: The staff are phenomenal. The hotel is clean. Some areas seem a little older and very minimalist. Not a horrible thing. The pizza needs a little help. Tacos were great but the shell was more pita than tortilla. The complimentary breakfast is fantastic. I will definitely stay again. Super nice to have the complimentary beverages available 24/7.
Negatives: The band was extremely loud. You can certainly avoid it by not going in the dinner club but in order to order food one had to go in there. The pizza needs help, but I am from the Chicago area.
Review

Very good
Seth Traveling as Couple November 2, 2023
Positives: I liked the hippy decor. The pool looked nice but we didn't have time to use it.
Negatives: There was a beetle infestation in our room. I woke up and even found them crawling in my pillow case. It was absolutely disgusting. We killed at least 20 bugs before we went to bed.
Review
It's a decent hotel but could be a lot cleaner and needs to work on pest proofing.
Mary Traveling as Couple November 1, 2023
Positives: Breakfast was better than expected and not your typical "breakfast included" hotel breakfast. Rooms were comfortable but nothing to write home about as far as decor.
Negatives: Didn't matter to us, but the parking lot needs some help and may deter some guests as they arrive at the property.
Review
Pleasant surprise. Close to the music venue we were going to (Wildwood) and they should list that.
Pamela Family with Young Children October 27, 2023
Positives: Clean, cute, friendly staff
Negatives: The breakfast wasnt very good
Review
Super nice and comfortable
Nathan Traveling as Couple October 15, 2023
Positives: The location was great for Iowa City proper. Was only a few minute drive from anything we wanted to do. Staff was good. Friendly. The pool looked clean.
Negatives: Was a bit dated. Tub was stained. The shower head was a bit wonky.
Review
Good value. Good location. Clean.
Priscilla Traveling as Couple September 27, 2023
Positives: Good fresh and homemade. Really appreciate the quality and being open until 10 for breakfast. Good dinner , again fresh homemade food. Staff always helpful.
Negatives: Overpromise the gluten-free options, there was very little at dinner menu except scraping the breading off the cod, and taking filling from wheat breakfast wraps, or oatmeal . Weird setting for dinner in game room. No drawers for clothes! Had to ask for a clock. No iron.
Review
Staff is the strong suit and the diversity vibe, expensive for so few room amenities.
Annette Traveling as Couple September 22, 2023
Positives: Retro, airy, stylishwhat a breath of fresh air after a long road trip of chain hotels! Stay here.
