Element Iowa City

The breakfast was wonderful, the staff did a great job preparing the meals. The location is perfect, if one wants to enjoy downtown Iowa City. Great place to stay when in that area.

The one day I put the sign out to clean my room, it did not get cleaned.

Breakfast was quite basic (yogurt cups, wrapped sweetrolls, energy bars); however, the coffee was excellent. The room itself was lovely and spacious with a nice kitchenette area, large and plush bed facing large Smart TV. Great views out the windows but also great that the windows had pull down privacy shades that kept the light out at night. Very quiet although right downtown. The check-in folks were stellar--very helpful and pleasant.

What made this hotel less than stellar was the odd parking arrangement which was not well marked. It was covered and there was access to the hotel from the parking garage, but from the outside that was not at all apparent. One had to go down a long flight of stairs and along a long corridor to get to the front desk check-in if coming in from the garage. This was awkward with my suitcases. Once on the main floor, there were elevators to other floors/the rooms, etc.

Location was great and hotel was clean

There was a loud banging at 12:30 am that woke me up, but that was it.

the location is just great. very upscale urban setting for a incurably low rate, especially for a Saturday night in a college town. the facility was clean and the staff was kind and a delight to wrk with. I will be staying there again!!

Liked room size and comfort. Liked that there was a pull-out couch since we had 5 people. Liked location as we were there to see the college. Liked breakfast included.

Price was a little higher than wanted but not unreasonable. Didn't realize that there wasn't parking on-site when booked and was an additional daily charge. Happily though, we were there when an event was going on so parking ended up being free.

Both people at the desk when I checked in were great. Very friendly. Came back down and needed blankets and sofa set and the girl was very quick get it for me. She even asked if everything worked out when I came down again. The man had brown hair and glasses and the girl had black hair and was African American. Both were great.

Everything was great

The room I had was spacious and clean. Actually, the whole place is very aesthetic, if you’re into that. The floor terrance itself is very beautiful, and if you want to, you could roast marshmallows on it’s bond fire (not sure if it’s really a bond fire, but you probably know what I mean) lol. The faculties that I’ve met were super kind and answered all my questions. The pool and gym are open too, but you need to ask the faculty for the key to go in I think. I hope this helps :)

I’m not sure I have any problems with this hotel. I mean they do allow pets in here if some people are allergic but I love animals, and it’s not really a problem for me<3

Very good breakfast with hand prepared food. Bathroom and shower were well appointed and quite stylish. My wife lived the cappuccino machine in the lobby.

Needed more facial tissue. Front desk was not staffed most of time.

great location and amenities, well appointed and comfortable beds

shower/drain not great, but we didn’t notify until leaving. pool was very small

There is really nothing about the hotel that I did not love. The room, bathroom, and public areas were all incredibly clean (and stylish I might add). Apart from that, the staff was very attentive and friendly. They also serve an amazing breakfast.

I don't believe that there is anything I did not like. However, I would suggest that some sort of music be played in the gym. Like I said though, there was nothing that I disliked about the hotel.
