For a less busy weekend, to get a corner room facing the back side seemed unfair. The coffee machine in the room didn’t work and wasn’t replaced even after notifying the front desk. Other than that everything was average

Highly Recommend!

Very nice, clean contemporary design. Rooms well equipped and the outdoor terrace was a peaceful place to relax. Complimentary breakfast was substantial and the service was friendly. Great location, close to Iowa’s campus for our tour there.
