Top University of Iowa Museum of Natural History Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place Iowa City Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"My wife, me, and our 12 year old grandson had a very memorable stay at Hyatt Place. As a retired custodian, I found our room impressively clean. The staff were both curious and helpful. I recommend (if available) paying for the underground parking. My grandson and I had a blast swimming in the indoor pool (which I also found extremely clean). Big windows and electric privacy blinds. The view from our room was such a bonus... In addition, after you get settled in your room, I recommend ordering from the famous Gumby's Pizza. Their Poké Dipping Sticks are like no other! You are guaranteed to enjoy a solid ★★★★ breakfast in the morning as well. We even found time for a quick nap and another good swim before checking out. Overlooking a few minor details, for the price, I give Hyatt Place FIVE STARS ✨️ hands down! We will definitely return in the near future."
