Great hotel
Liked: We loved how clean it was and that it was in the middle of downtown we could walk everywhere and we didn't need to leave or drive anywhere. The breakfast was amazing. The pool was nice.
Disliked: We just didn't like that sometimes the room got a little warm.

Great Stay!
Liked: The staff was very friendly, and the whole building was extremely clean and well maintained. There was easy access from the interstate but quiet. We enjoyed the option of a hot or cold breakfast. If we didn't have kids with us, we would've loved to try the bar as well!
Disliked: The pool was quite small and had a 9-person max capacity. Seemed small for the spaciousness of the rest of the hotel. We also couldn't take food outside of the bar. We would've liked to order and have food in the room since we had kids.

The hotel is my go-to...
Liked: Love that there are larger rooms with seating area and a kitchenette. The breakfast and food options for purchase are great and the gym is fantastic. The staff is always very nice
Disliked: The hot, made to order breakfast can be a little tricky during peak times. With only one cook, it takes a long time to get your food or you’re getting it at different times than the people you’re with. It would be great if there was more than one griddle and cook or if there was hot oatmeal or a waffle maker or something else to get a hot meal

I love Element Hotels, we...
Liked: The room was very cozy, bed and bedding was super comfortable, nice location downtown Iowa City, beautiful lobby, great breakfast options - the protein bowl was amazing & my family said the French toast was good as well. Staff were always friendly and kind.
Disliked: Pool was small & strong chlorine smell, breakfast setup was odd and confusing, pillows were very flat and not very comfy, they need to be replaced with new ones.
