Room type was not guaranteed so we got booted from a family suite to a deluxe king to fit six people the night before my daughter’s wedding. Room was also not fully cleaned the next night.

Great location and cool atmosphere. We had to wait for nearly 30 minutes to check into our room and then when the clerk showed up they were rude and unhelpful.

Always a good option. WiFi was not working properly and our bathroom light would not turn off. Minimal complaint, but if it was a work trip and WiFi was down I would not have been a happy camper.

The graduate is my go-to for downtown Iowa City. Always comfortable and convenient. This time our room wasn’t stocked with enough cups or coffee and housekeeping came in when we were sleeping but otherwise our stay was pleasant. Will stay again.

Our room was just ok.. the refrigerator was not working, they switched it out, still not working.. coffee station in the room was not stocked.. went to the desk and they gave me coffee, cups and lids, but when I got back to the room.. there wasn’t any creamer sugar etc.. at a point you just give up asking for assistance

The heat in our room did not work. It is winter in Iowa with an overnight low of 20 degrees and our heat didn’t work. Then there was a smoke detector in another nearby room that chirped all night. Both are completely unacceptable.

Paper thin walls. When I made a comment the front desk staff said “wow you must just have great hearing”. Could literally hear the footsteps, bowel movements, TVs and every word spoken in adjacent rooms as if they were in the room with me.

Reserved a room for 3 people, was given room that only slept 2 and was told they could not guarantee rooms booked through 3rd party and the hotel was full. The desk staff did threaten to call the police when we complained about the room not fitting all of us which was just to embarrass us since we did nothing wrong and they never actually called the police. Was able to book a Hilton directly through there app. Will never try to stay here again.
