The staff were not polite upon checking in - vague with directions to Englert Theater. There was no book containing hotel information/local info/room service menu in the room . The room had a view of the roof with broken lawn chairs and patio umbrellas. It was not as great as the website photos; no TV channel guide. I was trying to build up the room since we paid $170, saying it was modernistic, and my fiance replied "yeah, 1970's". He was right. Normally don't write reviews, rarely negative ones, but had to on this one. Disappointed.

Liked: Close to theater and the Ped Mall.
Disliked: Staff; room view; lack of amenities.

Liked: Love the whole contemporary vibe. The size and openess of the space. Especially liked the full length windows overlooking a metropolitan view. We were able to get a very good rate for the night we stayed
Disliked: Very minor and does not diminish the experience- there was no hand soap - there was a box on the soap dish but it was empty. It was easier to just use the shower body wash instead of bothering someone. 1 ply toilet paper

Worst trip by far

Liked: I liked the room layout and the amenities. Beautiful layout and lovely comfortable furniture and the bathroom was amazing!!! Definitely staying here every time I come to Iowa city now!!
Disliked: Only thing was they had a shuttle scheduled to take me to the hospital but they never showed up so I had to drive myself which wasn?t horrible, but they wanted to compensate for it and gave my husband and I vouchers for breakfast at a local coffee shop that didn?t have a real selection and they didn?t have a single vending machine
