Top hotels in Downtown

Hyatt Place Iowa City Downtown
"Great location, very friendly and efficient staff. That being said, the property definitely needs some updates, and the parking situation is kind of a pain. Breakfast was fine although the area has very little seating. Would I stay here again? Yes, but I wouldn’t hesitate to look around."
