La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Coralville Iowa City

8/10 Good

"Room was very clean and updated. Wonderful shower. Didn't eat breakfast due to early check out. Convenient for football games. Many restaurants nearby and shopping"

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!!"
