Daisy at the front desk was so sweet and welcoming Our rooms were great breakfast was great and the gym was nice and clean. My only complaint is that I had put a big gel ice pack from our cooler in the ice box in our room and when we prepared to leave after a two night stay it was gone .. so someone obviously came in the room even though I had a do not disturb sign on the door and told housekeeping not to clean the room until we checked out. When I explained what occurred to the woman at the front lobby she told me no one had been in our room so I guess it just magically disappeared

This was a chance on an unknown property, but it is one of the best places we’ve stayed on many in Iowa City / Coralville area. We will definitely return on our way back!

I liked the property. I did not have a refrigerator in my room, which i expected. I arrrived early, and i was tersely told that check in time is 3 pm. The desk clerk did not offer to notify me when a room was ready. I kept checking back with the desk clerk until i was checked in. FYI, I recieved a text at 11 pm that my room was ready, 9 hours after i checked in.
