My husband and I stayed at this hotel for 4 nights on a trip to the University of Iowa. On check-in the staff was accommodating and gave us an adjoining room for another family member without any trouble. I was a little surprised by the form they made me sign, swearing that I would not make noise after 11pm and... more

I had business in nearby Coralville for a few days & stayed @ the Sheraton in Iowa City (Coralville is only a few miles away). Being from Atlanta, I wasn't expecting much, but I was very impressed by the city & the Sheraton was right in the middle of it. Located right in downtown Iowa City, just blocks from the... more

We just spent a day and night at the Sheraton in Iowa City. Coming in from a blizzard, and terrible icy roads, it was a huge relief to be at the hotel, and the location is unbeatable. We wanted no part of driving that night, so to be able to stroll out and select from a great array restaurants in... more

I will never recommend this hotel to anyone. First, although the hotel is now "smoke free", it wasn't in the past. I was placed in a room that apparently been a smoking room because it absolutely reeked of smoke. The sheets on the bed were almost see-through and whenever I turned over in bed little sparks flew. I'd like to... more

I stayed here while attending an academic conference at the Iowa University Union. The Sheraton had a nice lobby that was well appointed and the staff was quite friendly. I provided my Starwood guest card at check-in and received a pass to a local health club for each day of my visit. My room had an updated set of furnishing,... more

The first weekend in October was in the 90s and put an immediate damper on our outdoor activities as you can't do much with 10 year dogs in that type of heat. Fortunately, we were on the Concierge floor with a great room, the proper sports channels and all of Iowa City's best quick eats within 4 blocks of the... more

Spent 3 nites here over Labor Day weekend. Pro's: Great location, friendly staff. Can walk everywhere to good restaurants and adjacent campus. Cons: Hotel is badly in need of a renovation. Am surprised Starwood lends its name to this property. Carpets stained everywhere. Bathrooms old & small. Very limited TV stations in an age where even low-end places give you... more

Very nice. Room service very quick and good. Only complaint is that it's a little loud being downtown next to bars. Maybe try to get a room on a higher floor. more

Pros: Great location and proximity to downtown attractions; valet parking; many services (business, restaurant, etc.); good bedding; rollaways available; helpful staff Cons: Some common areas are dingy and smell like cigarette smoke; pool is chilly and is 4-5 feet deep (too deep for very small children); hot tub was broken; bathroom is very small and door opens awkwardly for bathroom... more
