Iowa House Hotel

The hotel was old and dirty. Stains all over the carpet. Could feel bed springs and made a "boing" sound when sat down. We were one of two rooms rented -- felt like we were in the shining with a freaky empty hotel.

It’s pretty outdated. Also could use some fixing up. There’s a quite a few areas in the rooms and the hallways where patchwork has been done. At first glance it’s not noticeable but if you’re looking you can tell it wasn’t done well. The lady at the desk was extremely friendly though.

Solid, simple hotel right by the river and a short walk up Market Street to restaurants and coffee shops. Connected to the Iowa Memorial Union if you need a study spot. Across a park from the library. Helpful staff.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Very convenient, parking easy.

Its a dorm room. Picture very deceiving. Booked a queen bed, got a double. No breakfast as advertised. Rooms are hot! No air or fan!

It's not an hotel but a dorm room run by a randomly kids. Make sure to tell them you'll be late at night otherwise you'll be locked out. No room service, you need to clean your room and bring your dirty towels on a filthy bin outside the hallway. I felt an hotel employee not a PAYING GUEST. Do you a favor, spend few bucks more and go to the Hyatt place.

Iowa House Hotel claims that Hotels.com did not pass on the reservation to them and so there was nobody working the front desk or in the hotel when I arrived at 10:30pm at night. Had to scramble to find someplace else to stay.

What a joke! This is obviously an old dorm building turned hotel on the UIHC campus. You check-in in one place, then have to drive around the corner to park in a garage, walk back across the street, and enter a different door, finagle your way through a maze (I told my family we were in a giant escape room, but not the fun type), they cant control there heat, so they have a sign that basically said "we know it's hot in the winter, but you can open the window!" Really??? The room was soooo dry. My kids laughed because "in the dark when you move the sheets you can see sparks." And dirty-OMG-WOW. One of the coffee cups still had someone's lipstick on it!!! I will NEVER go back. The only good thing about this place was the receptionist! NEVER AGAIN!!!

Staff members were excellent. Room was average. No breakfast although it was advertised. No ice, broken hairdryer. Very small room and bathroom.

Very helpful staff
