Courtyard by Marriott Iowa City University Heights, hotel in Iowa City

Very clean hotel with welcoming lobby area and friendly staff in a tucked away, wooded setting. Big, clean rooms and bath. My only complaint is that we were offered an ADA room in order to be away from a wedding event and the beds were not comfortable.

The Highlander Hotel, hotel in Iowa City

Offering easy access to Interstate 80, this Iowa City hotel is 5.8 miles from the University of Iowa. It features an indoor pool with jacuzzi and guest rooms with free Wi-Fi.

The breakfast was nice. The facility did not look anything like the pictures on the website. The room and building were clean but showed lots of wear. The grounds weren't seasonally ready and the place felt like a ghost town despite being told it was full capacity.

    Seems like a nice place.

    Seems like a nice place. I was surprised at how many delicious options Big Grove Bar had for vegans and vegetarians and what a cool venue it was. We also had dinner just down the street from the Element hotel our 2nd night there at a very good not fancy Thai restaurant There were several other places to eat and a movie theater and I believe the parking was free after 6 pm bc the meter wouldn’t take my credit card. There is a Starbucks across the street from the Element but I didn’t feel the need because the hotel coffee was fine ( and I usually don’t find this to be true) and parking at the hotel was convenient and just $15/night.

    Iowa City seems built around its University, similar to Columbus, Ohio. The city centre is lovely and pedestrian/cyclist friendly. It feels very safe walking around the city which has retained its lovely country town character in the shadow of the large University. Iowa City offers both country town feeling, great bars and restaurants, excellent scientific museums, and high tech sightseeing around the University. Overall one of my top ranked cities in the US so far.

    Three generations of my family lived in Iowa City from the 1930s to the 1990s. It has changed a lot but still has a cool college town vibe with echoes of the past the oldest of us (89) recall fondly. Lots to do, always. Hy Vee! And health food stores and restaurants. I hate the skyscrapers and Oaknoll ate our University Heights neighborhood, but I like the pedestrian malls on and off campus. The train to Kinnick is fun in non-COVID times. We follow the Hawkeyes and read the Press-Citizen daily from one state away, and visit when we can, and will do so till we are no more.

    Super cute city with tons to do. There were outdoor activities every day of our stay. Lots of places to eat, places to shop and the nicest bunch if people you could ever meet. If you stay downtown, everything is within walking distance. Absolutely love Iowa City!

    We absolutely loved this hotel!

    We absolutely loved this hotel! Just walking to it from the parking lot smelled so good! By far the cleanest and most comfortable hotel we stayed in the 13 nights we stayed in during our road trip! And bonus…we got a great rate through Booking.com and paid less than $100 including taxes.

    There were plenty of restaurants and bars within walking distance. It seemed safe. We were there for surgery at the hospital so we didn't stay long but we appreciated everything we needed being close by.

    The hotel location is perfect, and the hotel room was outright beautifully theme designed. The reception area is large and furnished in a charming 50s home style with very comfortable armchairs. I forgot a jacket in my hotel room and staff posted it for free to an international address. A big parking garage is conveniently located just a few steps from the hotel and is paid through the hotel reception. The entire city is within walking distance.

    This hotel is absolutely stunning. Spacious rooms. Kitchenette with great appliances. Balcony and room provided great views. A block from the Ped mall and restaurants and shops. A+ facility. Delicious coffee bar and food on 2nd floor. Movie theatre on first floor. Fun little bowling alley and arcade and food on first floor. We loved all the conveniences.

    Loved the vibe of this hotel. It was a perfect retreat from a long.road trip. Amenities were great. The sitting spaces throughout the hotel for having a chat and drink were fantastic. If you love something a bit different. With a cool vibe it's a great hotel, located right off of I 80. Very convenient. Had dinner there and it was fresh and delicious.

    The staff was super friendly. Free adult drink for your first drink was nice. Free coffee, pop and yogurt 24 hours a day. The pool area was awesome. Bar was great. The only negative is you cannot have your own snacks or drinks anywhere in the hotel except your room. Other than that had a great time. Would definitely recommend and go again.

    Ideal location in former Sheraton, right on Iowa City's vibrant Ped Mall in heart of town and steps from campus Convenient to everything. Friendly staff, spacious and comfortable rooms. The decor is eclectic and a bit ... odd, but may appeal to Hawkeye fans.
