SureStay Plus Hotel by Best Western Coralville Iowa City

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, quiet and in a good part of town."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Coralville Iowa City

8/10 Good

"While the hotel was very nice, I have three suggestions: 1.) I checked in very late on Thursday evening, October 8. The girl with whom I interacted was a "low talker." I am hard of hearing, and I had to ask her to repeat what she was saying several times. Her English was somewhat garbled. 2.) The towels in my room were changed every day; however, nobody made the bed. One of the nice things of staying in a hotel is having the bed freshly made each day. This did not happen. 3.) The breakfast needs some variety. Offer some bacon, instead of just sausage. Also, the coffee tasted kind of stale. 4.) When I checked out, there was a young man at the desk. I said I wanted to check out. He smiled at me and took my key. He did not say anything else. Not sure what his deal was. I said, "Am I good?" And he nodded. Very strange."

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!"
