Super clean and functional rooms. We were there for the weekend for Hawkeye football and other than getting the hang of the parking situation, it's walkable to all things Iowa City! Staff and breakfast were great too!

This was a lovely property. Very clean and super close to the fun downtown area of Iowa City. The only downfall was there was quite a bit of loud traffic noise all through the night. Motorcycles and other vehicles racing down the street at all hours. I would stay again but will turn my white noise machine up a bit more or wear ear plugs.

The room set up was great, the furniture was comfortable, the room had been cleaned but the walls needed cleaning/fixing in many places. There were no water bottles in the room which typically find to be a regular amenity. While the customer service was fantastic, there were a few times we went to the desk and no one was around for quite a while. Late check out was not available even though the hotel seemed rather empty which was disappointing.

This hotel is updated and looks very nice, the rooms are very clean and large, located walking distance to everything that you might need. The parking for the hotel is impossible to find, we ended up parking elsewhere. They also put us on the 3rd floor and we had a lovely view of air conditioning units and a wall, absolutely nothing else. We have never been to Iowa and we’re expecting to see at least something out of our window but absolutely nothing, that room might as well not have any windows. I would not be returning to this hotel.

This is our new favorite place to stay in Iowa City. The hotel is one block from the downtown/walking mall and two blocks from the University campus. Parking is available just behind the hotel in a safe ramp. There is a unique emphasis on eco-friendly here. Our room was superb and felt brand new. Excellent bathroom facilities. Very comfortable beds/mattresses. HUGE TV for the short period of time we were in the room. Nice working desk for business travelers. The room included a fully stocked mini-kitchen. Breakfast is included...and one of the BEST free breakfasts I have ever had. Made to order food which was truly delicious. We plan to be loyal customers.

We were visiting the University of Iowa campus, and the Element is less than a block from campus. The room was spacious, very clean, and comfortable. The breakfasts were great, with 2 hot options each day. My one quibble is that the front desk staff, while friendly, could have been a bit more forthcoming with information, like where the entrance to the parking garage is and the fact that we would need to get a new "exit ticket" to get us out of the garage on the day we left.

Daisy at the front desk was so sweet and welcoming Our rooms were great breakfast was great and the gym was nice and clean. My only complaint is that I had put a big gel ice pack from our cooler in the ice box in our room and when we prepared to leave after a two night stay it was gone .. so someone obviously came in the room even though I had a do not disturb sign on the door and told housekeeping not to clean the room until we checked out. When I explained what occurred to the woman at the front lobby she told me no one had been in our room so I guess it just magically disappeared

I liked the property. I did not have a refrigerator in my room, which i expected. I arrrived early, and i was tersely told that check in time is 3 pm. The desk clerk did not offer to notify me when a room was ready. I kept checking back with the desk clerk until i was checked in. FYI, I recieved a text at 11 pm that my room was ready, 9 hours after i checked in.

Our favorite perk of this lovely hotel is the second floor patio. It is large, comfortable and perfectly designed. We used the fire pit in the morning and evening, the tables for work and dining and the couches for reading and relaxing.

Great stay! Well-appointed room; had everything we needed and then some for our family of five. Very comfortable beds and exceptionally clean. The made-to-order breakfast was great and the portion size was perfect - not too much or too little. Excellent location. We’d stay again!
