I had a very pleasant stay! I totally forgot, though, that there's often live music on weekend nights directly outside the hotel - fortunately I was on the far side and the AC covered up the sound. Parking was very difficult in the public lot next to the hotel on Saturday night; finally found a spot after driving through the whole structure twice. :/

I have always wanted to stay at a Graduate hotel for their unique vintage design. All of the detail was incredible. So unique and fun! No breakfast included or pool- which we knew ahead of time but the dandelion cafe nearby was excellent for brunch. Fun stay in a college town.

The place to stay when in Iowa City

The front desk was incredibly helpful and kind. The location is excellent, and so close to campus and great restaurants. The aesthetic is great!! Love the nods to great Iowans.
