Top University Heights Hotel Reviews

The Trail Inn - Amana IA

10/10 Excellent

"Check in and out was so easy."

Hotel Millwright

8/10 Good

"Such a cute hotel with lots of nooks and crannies to tuck away in! The history is fun to learn about and it's central to the cities. There's a playground for the kiddos and eating at The Indigo Room is a MUST! The food was absolutely delicious. Staff is friendly and helpful. My only complaint is the bed. The mattress we slept on was hard and thin, so upgrading that would be nice. Or at the very least, a mattress topper would help. Otherwise, no complaints!"

Drury Inn & Suites Iowa City Coralville

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel - modern feeling (7 floors and looks cool), big room, good elevators with little wait time (we were 5th floor), very good breakfast (hot) and large street level and underground parking (with elevator going to reception floor); also convenient to I80 (ramp a few hundred feet away on street in front of hotel); would definitely stay again if in the area"
