"It was okay."

7.0

Upcharge because at the desk it was $40 cheaper. That’s where I should have booked instead of on booking

"Great for a family or couples. Highly recommend."

9.0

Love this hotel. Lots of amenities, the pool is beautiful, and the bar/arcade is perfect.

Highly recommend. Not a fan of the huge price markup during prime weekends, but that’s true of all hotels in Iowa City.
