Top University of Iowa Museum of Natural History Hotel Reviews

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Coralville Iowa City

8/10 Good

"Check in went well. Breakfast was standard buffet style and was fine. Bed was comfortable, room was clean and spacious. Area seemed safe. Lots of restaurants nearby. Thankfully they have a few things for purchase as I had a huge headache and was able to purchase some Advil at the front desk. Only downside was they had the front desk lady doing multiple things, including setting up and cleaning up breakfast so people kept looking for her for assistance."

Drury Inn & Suites Iowa City Coralville

10/10 Excellent

"There were two times the staff was especially helpful on this stay. The first was a young gal on the morning of check out. I had left my car with my luggage downtown and ubered back. This, plus a couple other items made for a longer morning before I could check out. I asked for an additional 30min and she was just glad I had made the right transportation decision Tristan helped return an item I had left behind. It was a shirt with significant sentimental value from Ireland—something I couldn’t really replace. The Drury is our first choice as a family and it’s also great and easy when traveling solo."

Hampton Inn Iowa City/University Area

8/10 Good

"I enjoyed my 2 day stay at this Hampton Inn. Good location, plenty of space, comfy room and bed. I really wanted to work out in the gym but the A/C was not working in there and both the ellipticals were in poor repair. The front staff were very kind and helpful and said in December they are getting new machines. The breakfast and coffee were very good. Plenty of free parking!!"
