Iowa City Hotel Guide - Pet Friendly Hotels in Iowa City, Iowa

"Good"

"I thought I had booked a room with 2 queen beds but when we checked in only the handicap room was available with two double beds. It wasn't a problem but I felt bad taking up them handicap room in case someone who really needed it showed up and needed a room. The check in lady said it was the only room available. It was really nice that the hotel is connected to the restaurant so you don't have to go outside. The computer was not working when we checked in and there was 4 people there waiting for us all to check in. It took longer to get us all in with the computer service going up and down but the check in lady finally got us all checked in. Very nice hotel tho. Not really complaints, just minor glitches. Would stay there again and recommend to others."

"Good place for a weekend. Free EV charger with 2 spaces. Staff was very nice. Didn't use the pool, hot tub, or housekeeping. Convenient location. "

"Quick check in and check oiy"

"We were greeted by a large private security guard who stared us down and blocked our entrance to the front desk to check in! Not the experience we were expecting. It felt very uncomfortable and unsafe. I felt like if I would have said anything the guard would have stopped me and made me leave. Apparently, this is the new protocol for Hilton hotels in Iowa City.. You have to get by a large serious guard just to check in. The front desk clerk didn't make it any better. When I approached the check in desk he questioned what I wanted and put me thru the third degree to make sure I was guest. Evidently, this hotel has trouble with people posing as guests or destroying bathrooms. He proceeded to grill me over my parking ticket and then printed out a ticket he said I could use for validation of parking. This ticket did not work and I paid the city $40 to park in a hotel parking garage. We spent close to $400 which included a $250 dinner of basic hamburgers, french fries, potato chips as an appetizer. Our server told us we could receive a discount for staying at the hotel but of course this was bad information or lack of training because we received no discount. It is really too bad because the location is great and the hotel is decorated in a unique vibe. I talked to 3 hotel customer service reps the next day including Kennedy only to get the company line and why they couldn't and wouldn't be able to offer any discount or credit just an apology and the promise of talking"
