Quality Inn Coralville - Iowa River Landing

8/10 Good

"nothing really stood out or was outstanding, but it all was ok."

SureStay Plus Hotel by Best Western Coralville Iowa City

10/10 Excellent

"Clean"

Drury Inn & Suites Iowa City Coralville

10/10 Excellent

"There were two times the staff was especially helpful on this stay. The first was a young gal on the morning of check out. I had left my car with my luggage downtown and ubered back. This, plus a couple other items made for a longer morning before I could check out. I asked for an additional 30min and she was just glad I had made the right transportation decision Tristan helped return an item I had left behind. It was a shirt with significant sentimental value from Ireland—something I couldn’t really replace. The Drury is our first choice as a family and it’s also great and easy when traveling solo."

"I enjoyed my 2 day stay at this Hampton Inn. Good location, plenty of space, comfy room and bed. I really wanted to work out in the gym but the A/C was not working in there and both the ellipticals were in poor repair. The front staff were very kind and helpful and said in December they are getting new machines. The breakfast and coffee were very good. Plenty of free parking!!"
