Drury Inn & Suites Iowa City Coralville

10/10 Excellent

"Room was good sized with comfortable bedding. Hotel had underground garage which is a plus against weather problems.receptionist at check in was very helpful and did her job proud. Did not use gym or breakfast so cannot comment on those aspects"

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."

Quality Inn Coralville - Iowa River Landing

8/10 Good

"Since it was just me traveling, it was okay. I made due with what I had. I didn’t have the breakfast since my appointments that I was in town for said not to eat. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable for me (I have a bad back, firm bed was good for me, pillows were pretty good too for my neck), the refrigerator was left open before I got there (looked like it had been defrosted). The bathroom was really small, to use the toilet I had to step completely in the bathroom almost to other wall to shut the door. I went to run bath water and the top of the tub plug was missing so I couldn’t tell if it was water flow or stopped. Staff was helpful, the front desk person came and looked at the tub when I couldn’t get the water to drain (even after removing the mechanism from the drain). I thought the shower water pressure was awesome! The TV only had about 20 channels, the guide book on the desk was outdated and those channels listed there weren’t valid. Besides those few things, not a bad experience just some things need updating. For 1 person for a night or two, the price was right and it worked for me."
