Comfort Inn & Suites Coralville - Iowa City near Iowa River Landing

10/10 Excellent

"Great"

Heartland Inn

8/10 Good

"It looks like an older property and the hallways seem a little dark. But the hotel is very clean and my room was very nice. The room air conditioning was fairly quiet and efficient. The breakfast was a typical continental set up, with choices of scrambled eggs and sausages.with various cereals and make your own waffles. The staff is friendly and helpful. This hotel isn’t fancy but it doesn’t need to be. It is simple and my room was very comfortable. If you want a hotel that offers nice amenities, functional clean rooms and is located near Iowa Hawk sports complexes also University of Iowa Hospital/clinics at a value price I recommend the Hesrtland Inn."

Travelodge by Wyndham Iowa City

8/10 Good

"The carpets smelled like a wet basement. Otherwise, ok stay for a budget hotel."
