Hyatt Place Iowa City Downtown

There is nothing I disliked about the Hyatt on Court in Iowa City - and I can be quite picky! There are several things that stood out to me: one is the cleanliness of the room and the common spaces; two: the friendly staff, especially on a second floor for the breakfast service. From the cleaning staff to the people who refresh the food - top notch. They were friendly but we're very effective in their job. They seem to take pride in everything they do and that I love to see. Makes such a difference when you see people working with a smile on their face while excelling. I had a few questions about the food, the variety of fruit, and the employee, and he sought me out to share the answers..The young lady who was cleaning up after everybody, every morning I was there, she was polite courteous and quick. Great qualities! My room was great. I was located on the 12th floor, perfect view great lighting (options!), and I could adjust the temperature of the air conditioner, which is key. The bathrooms are large, plenty of towels, and the shampoo and conditioner were surprisingly good. The price is super reasonable. Considering your stone's throw away from The Graduate - which is very nice - I love the concept and stay in the Princeton New Jersey one often enough. But I would return to the Hyatt any day of the week. Better prices, great breakfast, great staff. Well done!

The staff were exceptionally helpful. The night person came to our room at 1:00 am at night to adjust the temperature and bring a blanket for my wife - many thanks. The breakfast buffet style food (eggs, bacon, oatmeal, fruit etc) was fresh, varied and tasteful. My wife and I were very pleased having breakfast there. The heated garage was helpful, especially during the winter night when it was 15 F, with a strong wind outside. It's very close to the University and local business.

The room was really nice. The beds and pillows were comfortable. The staff suggested a place to eat and directed us there, even though we were unable to find the place. We did find somewhere to eat and enjoyed seeing the downtown area on foot. Just wish I had more time to spend looking around.

Great location, nice beds, good bathrooms, one small 10x10 pool available, blackout blinds and good area to work. The hotel is very close to downtown but just far enough outside to be in a quiet area.

The location is the best part. It is easy to walk everywhere
