Amazing !
1.5 / 5.0
We booked a double queen room for 4 people and when we arrived we had 1 king and a rollaway twin had been added to the room prior to our arrival. This was not disclosed to us when we checked in, but something we discovered when we got to the room. They claimed they couldn’t give us the correct room and then offered breakfast vouchers and free parking. We had to have one of our family members stay with friends in their room to make it work. When we requested a late checkout we were treated rudely by the front desk staff. We had several friends staying here as well and all of them had issues with their rooms, too.

The only thing I would have appreciated would have been that we could have used the two bottles of water that were in the hotel room so we wouldn’t have to pay $2 for each bottle. Most hotels provide two bottles of water, but at the Hilton Garden Inn in Iowa City, you had to belong to the Hilton Club in order to have for free.

Everything was great! There was a little hiccup when checking in (I think it was a newer staff member that wasn’t fully trained on how to read Expedia reservations in their system). The front desk manager quickly stepped in and it was taken care of.
Room was nice, clean and quiet.

Booked this hotel based on specific room type. When I checked in and got to my room it was a different room type. Went back downstairs to front desk and attendant explained that my purchased/prepaid room type was unavailable and they knew this when they gave me the key but didn’t bother explaining or letting me know (I guess they wanted to surprise me). I requested a refund so that I could go to another hotel with the room I needed. They explained that they could not do this. I explained that the room type given to me would not work. They apologized and agreed that it was a bummer I had a room I could not sleep in. I then asked for rollaway bed, which they agreed to. Very frustrating that I needed to troubleshoot and solve the issue to a disinterested attendant after a long drive with 2 kids. Next morning was charged for breakfast although we had prepaid for breakfast. Hotel was in good condition, will try somewhere else next time I am in Iowa City.

Lots of food options are in the area. The hotel is very nice.

Parking is a little tough, but understandable because of the university being so close.

We reserved a two queen size bed room and received a king sized bed with a rollout cot. It was uncomfortable for three of us to stay in the room. The room was not prepared with pillows and blankets. We had to call down for those. I'm disappointed.

Absolutely love the rooftop restaurant. My 10 year old granddaughter thought she was in heaven. Great view of the college campus. So far it’s been the best part of our trip.

Nice property, it was surprisingly quiet for being downtown.
Someone dined at restarunt and charged to my room, but it was easily removed. I would suggest the restaurant ask proof of room b4 allowing someone to charge a meal.

I checked into my room and the tv was broke and they got me a new room and I wanted to pay for a movie and that’s not an option, I had to watch regular cable tv and I was in a seminar for 2 days and couldn’t watch a movie. The food was strange and very spicy. I asked if I could do just a regular cheeseburger or plain shrimp instead of the spicy version and I was told no… Then I ordered a White Zinfandel, which is a basic glass of wine & didn’t have it. So I had to go through asking about Chablis or Chardonnay & she told me no. I had to walk to the other hotel next door to get a Mt Dew. The parking was a mess, no one helped me with my bags and I was alone. It just didn’t have much personal service and I had to use my key card even to take the elevator. I also didn’t get my seminar room rate. I just was not impressed and I was disappointed. I had 2 nights away from my kids and I couldn't get anything I wanted. I would’ve stayed next door at the hotel if I would’ve known. They had everything I wanted.

Very impressed with the cleanliness of this hotel - the room all the way down to the pool and fitness area was very well maintained. The front desk staff was very friendly and answeres all of our questions. Well within walking distance to anything you hope to do around the downtown area - two blocks to the ped mall was perfect!

This was a lousy experience. We got into the room and the kids sleep couch wasn’t made and had old sheets on. I was told by management to fix it and myself and housekeeping handed me sheets .
The breakfast was average at best and the breakfast attendant was overbearing and pushing for tips.
