Top University Heights Hotel Reviews

The Trail Inn - Amana IA

10/10 Excellent

"This had been our go to place to stay for over 29 years when we go to the Amanas and vicinity. The new owners are doing great and this inn will continue to be our place to stay."

3 blocks from the University of Iowa Kinnick Stadium & Hospital

8/10 Good

"Great property location if you’re going to the game. Communication with the owner was a little more difficult than we hoped for. All in all, a good spot to be by the stadium if you’re willing to pay the price to be that close."
