Top Downtown Hotel Reviews

Baymont by Wyndham Coralville

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room Wash carpet"

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Coralville, IA

10/10 Excellent

"We were traveling through Iowa from Nebraska and stayed at this hotel. Unfortunately the front desk guy was a Hawkeyes fan. Also there was an Iowa sign hanging on the front desk. Although we were disappointed to be surrounded by people like this, the front desk guy was very friendly and we had a nice stay. Breakfast was good too. GBR!"

Riverside Casino & Golf Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The Riverside Casino Hotel was very clean and comfortable. We stayed on the third floor and had a beautiful view. The room was spotless and comfortable. My wife and I ate at Ruthies and had a wonderful meal. We also spent time gambling and thankfully came out ahead! Overall, it was a great experience, and we had a fantastic time. We'll definitely be back!"
