Excellent location, restaurant, grocery, bar, downtown a few feet away. Highly secure. Architecture and furnishings are neomodern, concrete and glass, concrete floor with throw rug. No writing paper/pad pencil or pen in room. Room in excellent condition with ever amenity--TV, frig, safe, coffeepot... Grab bar and towel rack near tub would have been nice. Based on first one night stay, can highly recommend.

I am a member of Hilton Honors, but I didn't have my member number with me. At every other Hilton property I've stayed, the staff was always able to look up my number by my email address or my phone number. Not this time. As a result, I didn't get Hilton Honors points for my stay. Also, he couldn't find the key cards to program our keys and was scrambling until he opened the right cabinet to find the key cards.

While Vetro is a modern, upscale hotel, it’s starting to show it’s age. One of the curtains in the room was broken, furniture upholstery had some tears, a light fixture was pulling away from the bathroom mirror, and there was old urine on the underside of the toilet seat. Still a great spot, but could use some care and attention.

The hotel is nice and modern; however, the air conditioning unit in our room was very loud and disturbed our sleep when it would turn on. It would also be preferable to have parking covered vs. having to pay extra in the next door parking ramp.

The hotel cancelled our reservation!

I wish I could rate our stay at hotel vetro but upon check-in I was told our reservation had been cancelled. Now I NEVER placed any calls to cancel & Travelocity still had our reservation but for some reason the hotel itself took it upon themselves to ruin the start of our family trip. I spent quite some time to find what I thought would be a great getaway only to be pushed off on a nearby hotel which didn't seem to be comparable. What a disappointment! BTW did I mention my family gets away only one long weekend each year. Crummy deal!

Don't bother.

Pros: The design is actually fantastic
Cons: Better upkeep and better staff
No parking lot. You have to park yourself in a public lot half a block away, at $12/night. The design of the rooms is awesome, but stains and damage to everything. I went to eat in the provided mini-kitchen, and there were no utensils. So I went down to the desk to get a spoon, was told they weren't in the rooms because they were getting stolen, and two calls and an hour later, my spoon finally arrived.

Great addition to Iowa City!

Pros: Close restaurants, perfect location!
After living in the town for some time, it was nice to have another hotel downtown! Very classy, sleek, and modern. I appreciated the room for entertaining--even in a studio unit! A full kitchen, glass shower and deep whirlpool tub were all much more than we expected for the price. This will definitely be where we stay when we're in town from now on!
