Overall a little disappointed with our stay. I like the "vibe" of the hotel but it's a bit run down. For example, the front of the hotel is not well cared for and does not show well. At a bare minimum put some plants in the flower boxes. The pool area and hot tub are really nice. The pool was warm. Our only complaint here is the small thin tools that they provided. They were horrible - get new (better) towels. The room was fine and the bed was comfortable. We went to the game room which was a fun to have but about the half of the games we tried to play were not working. Again, this is why I am saying the place needs some TLC. It has a lot of potential but it's not well cared for.

Room smelled of chlorine. Pool lights and music on until 10pm. Not good for traveler looking for rest.

The hotel was great. The pool and hot tub looked great although we didn't use them. The bed was comfortable. We liked the large arcade area near the bar. Coffee in the room would have been nice

Do not get a mezzanine room if you want any sort of quiet. Kids will be screaming from 9am to 9pm in the pool area. There is a big gap under the door onto the deck and zero sound proofing.

The hallways are just a bit noisy when you’re in the room. Otherwise a great hotel!

The hot tub was out of order. There were no microwaves, coffee maker, ice bucket or cups provided for the room. We told the front desk clerk that when we booked , we asked if the hot tub was working and told yes. He told us there was too much chlorine and to just use the pool. It was our anniversary and it was ruined because of this below average establishment that we used to love in the past

Spacious rooms with patios overlooking the pool. Some low key live music, lots of games and a fun bar. About 10 min from downtown. Overpriced in my opinion.

Our daughters fourth year in Iowa City and we only now just discovered this fun hotel. Spacious, funky and loads of things to do and areas to wonder. A great place to bring a large crew for a game weekend, graduation, family reunion, etc.

The Highlander feels more like a home than a hotel. Beds are soft and cozy. Facilities very well kept. We were so pleased to get a handicap accessible room which was perfect for our needs. A quiet and peaceful spot!

This place has everything you need. Food, drinks, an arcade, outdoor seating, a nice pool area and lots of lounge space. The staff are very helpful and friendly. We were there on a busy weekend but I never would have known. It never felt over crowded or noisy. I will definitely be a return customer!

We are proud parents of a Hawkeye football player who reside in Chicago and hail from NYC and NJ. We also enjoy international travel and have been blessed to be exposed to wonderful hotel accommodations. We especially appreciate the beauty of a great boutique hotel which The Highlander certainly is. We are so fortunate to be staying here for all our home games this year!

No coffee makers in the room. Breakfast available for a charge but doesn’t start until 8 am which is late for a weekend. We needed to leave by 7 am so couldn’t eat. Staff was friendly. Bar served great drinks and had good music.

We loved it so much, we stayed again on our way back through. Pool and hot tub were very clean and well maintained. Kids are not allowed in hot tubs, which is extremely appealing. Adult-only swim begins at 9:00, but was not strictly enforced. The only downfall: traveling with visually impaired person and the hotel did not ask if accommodations were needed nor did they give warning about lacking an elevator. The steps are all black, making it very difficult to see the differentiation between steps. Some thought into simple accommodations would be wonderful.
