Top Downtown Hotel Reviews

Graduate by Hilton Iowa City

Graduate by Hilton Iowa City

8/10 Good
"Great location within walking distance of the University of Iowa campus. Has an indoor pool, but closed for renovation. No parking lot, but there’s a parking garage next door. No valet parking and a luxury hotel should have this. Only had one working elevator and this created a huge delay and inconvenience, for a 9 story hotel. We ended up hiking up flights of stairs to reach our 5th floor room. This inconvenience continued for our entire 4 day stay. There is a coffee shop with excellent breakfast and many to go items. There is also a restaurant that is open in the evening. Food is also excellent there. More positives than negatives. The fitness center is outstanding with free weights, machines, and treadmills. Staff is friendly and helpful."
