The Iowa City Graduate is a perfect storm right now. The drop off arch is completely shut down and being redone completely. The garage parking lot is also being redone. Okay. We checked in for two days during the week and was placed on the 3 floor at the very end of the hall with a view over looking an enclosed construction site of a filling of an old swimming pool, fuse-ball table, and dusty ping pong table where the construction workers might have a break. I have a 3 more years until my kid graduates and another kid at Ohio State, are the Graduate Hotels really worth it?

Great location right next to the University of Iowa and a pedestrian only street with many restaurants and bars. Room was uniquely decorated and comfortable. The ice machines were not functioning.

Great location within walking distance of the University of Iowa campus. Has an indoor pool, but closed for renovation. No parking lot, but there’s a parking garage next door. No valet parking and a luxury hotel should have this. Only had one working elevator and this created a huge delay and inconvenience, for a 9 story hotel. We ended up hiking up flights of stairs to reach our 5th floor room. This inconvenience continued for our entire 4 day stay. There is a coffee shop with excellent breakfast and many to go items. There is also a restaurant that is open in the evening. Food is also excellent there. More positives than negatives. The fitness center is outstanding with free weights, machines, and treadmills. Staff is friendly and helpful.
