The parking at this facility is underground. That's fine, but the deck person gave us faulty instructions on how to find that parking, and we drove around multiple times and eventually had to go back in to talk to someone else. Finally found the parking, but between the elevator ride and the time to find a (dark) parking space, it's really not convenient.

I cannot recommend this hotel enough! from the very moment we checked in we felt welcome! I believe it was Vanessa at the front desk who checked us in. she had the most bubbly and welcoming personality! she gave us the run down on parking, amenities the hotel offered, how to get there, and any other questions we had she was insanely ready to help! the night staff was also wonderful! I frequent the iowa city area often and i will definitely be making this a reoccurring spot to stay as well as recommending it to anyone else coming this way!
