I just spent a delightful weekend in Iowa City. A great part of that delight was driven by my experience as a guest of the Brown Street Inn. Comfortable. Homey. Relaxing. Quiet. The room was lovely and I had everything I needed for a hassle-free stay. (The alarm clock woke me to the sound of cathedral bells. That was a... more

This was my first B&B experience and it was just amazing. The home is beautifully decorated and immaculate. The hosts, Mark and Bob, are wonderful and gracious people, and really make you feel at home and like friends. The breakfasts with homemade pastries and fresh fruit were delicious. My favorite was the always available freshly baked cookies!!! I miss you... more

We've just returned from our third stay in four months at the Brown Street Inn. How nice it is to be able to write that somehow each time is even better than the last.

A little haven in iowa city that was worth staying in for the superb breakfasts alone. Clean, friendly, quiet and cosy, it is exactly what a B and B should be. The hosts were tremendously welcoming and the house itself is beautifully maintained. Wonderful. more

This charming bed and breakfast is located in a quiet and lovely historic neighborhood in Iowa City. I stayed in the "Suite" on the top floor and felt I had my own private retreat with windows looking out to the birds and trees. The innkeepers are very warm and inviting and I enjoyed visiting with the other guests at breakfast.... more

We stayed at the Brown Street Inn in May 2008 and look forward to returning. It's a lovely clean gracious old home with all the upgrades of much more expensive accommodations. The rooms are spacious, the bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom was completely updated. In the morning we enjoyed a lovely breakfast with plenty of food and coffee... more
