Top Downtown Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Regency Coralville Hotel & Conference Center

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful!"

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Coralville, IA

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and breakfast was good. The air conditioner made the room smell musty, but the room itself was clean and did not have mold. The rooms are a dreary gray with daylight color bulbs, so not a lot of warmth. Good for a budget quick stop on a cross country road trip."
