Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Coralville, IA

10/10 Excellent
"It was a great stay. My only complaint is we we just checked in, due to time of day we did not go to the room. We went to eat. Just sat down and was getting emails about how the room was and if we liked it. Give us a minute next time please. It was a great place, if traveling in the area we will be staying again."
