It was amazing. We were there for 8 nights and the bed, the bathtub, and the breakfast far exceeded our expectations. The room was spacious and clean. Enjoyed getting to know Kendra through the week. Every breakfast was beautiful. We would definitely stay here again.

We loved our stay at The Iowa House! It was wonderful to see it decorated for Christmas. Breakfast was delicious. Coffee, water and snacks were available in the dining room when we checked in. A very nice touch. Our room was clean and comfortable.

The staff does not know about public transportation. I had to go out and find out on my own. They gave me the wrong key to the door and I couldn't get in. I spent an hour knocking on all the windows and no one came out, I was alone in the house, there was no other guest or any of the staff. With my things inside, being cold on the street, cut off because my cell phone is foreign and without WiFi, without having anyone to turn to, I was forced to break a glass to enter. I called from the reception phone to the help number they had on a sign and it was not available. If I had more to do, I went to bed and, not happy with the lack of attention, they took me out of the room with the police as if I were a criminal and expelled me from the hotel. I couldn't even spend the night, I had no way to ask for help or explain the situation and they did not return my money. A terrible experience, to be forgotten. And we are talking about the United States, a first world country. These things don't happen in mine. Terribly attended, terrible management of the conflict. A real shame.

Like Iowa House overall.

Very adequate overnight stay, very cute historic home in a great location. This is definitely your typical corporate owned facility, with offsite owners. Breakfast is mediocre at best. Air conditioner didn’t work in our room, but that might have been a one off issue.

I liked the combination of old-house comfort and up-to-date automatic check-in.

We loved the Iowa House for a one night stay in a college town. The place is charming and must have great stories having been a frat house. After arriving we were a little skeptical of location right amongst college housing but we were pleasantly surprised. So much space indoors and outdoors to enjoy. We would definitely go back. Highly recommend.

Iowa House is at the perfect location with quick access to Campus and great amenities within walking distance. The free breakfast is great and has way more and better quality options than what you usually get in chain hotel. The room was clean, spacious and nicely decorated with a cozy feeling. Would definitely come back!
