Hotel a Hills

“We were traveling and storms were all around. This was our only available option as most hotels were booked. It is nothing fancy and location seems weird, but clean and safe.”

“The place was decent for the price and the location is good. The issue is that the staff doesn't understand English. Night clerk nor housekeeping could assist us properly. We had a small dog and inquired about the pet fee. The night clerk couldn't tell us and said don't worry about it. In the morning as we were leaving the day manager was harassing my elderly parents while they sat in the lobby waiting for me to load the car. When I told him to stop and what the night clerk said he proceeded...

“We stay every time we travel thru Iowa City and it never disappoints. Staff is friendly, checkin is easy, location good, rooms comfortable and clean. The happy hour in the lobby with snacks and drinks is wonderful!”

“Nice location close to restaurants. Building well maintained inside and out.”

“Hotel was worn out. Room had stains in carpet, and mattresses were squeaky. Wood surfaces in the elevator were worn and damaged. Overall the property just looks work out and needs an update.”

“Check in set the tone. The girl was the most unfriendly hospitality worker I’ve encountered. 0 welcome. 0 communication. Checked in and discovered our door was broken and dead bolt wouldn’t latch. Back to the desk. Unfriendly worker inconvenienced by this. We left to eat and came back to see if issue resolved. Again-she is inconvenienced. Hard to find positives when this person kills the vibe.”

“The room was clean, getting there was another story. Outdoor garbage was overflowing, inside garbage was overflowing, there were empty beer bottles on the tables in the lobby and no one was around. The elevators were filthy, was worried what our room was going to look like. However, it was clean and cool, the bed was comfy. It is literally right next to interstate 80 so the traffic noise is real.”

“Bathrooms were unique loved the pool plenty of space for child to roam”

“Rooms were clean the bed was very comfortable. Indoor pool was very nice. Traveled with my dog and there was a really nice area for me to walk him.”

“Breakfast was decent, pool was clean and refreshing. However, there was a distinct smell about the whole first floor and especially our room. We were only staying for one night, so it wasn't a deal breaker for us, but if you are sensitive to smells at all, I'd be careful. Staff were helpful and overall the beds were comfortable and room was clean....just the smell!”

“we were disappointed, read good reviews but were let down. first there were no maple cinnamon rolls, and the rest of the breakfast was meek. the room had a musky smell to it. the room had flies in it, more we swatted more should up. the floor was uneven and the floorboards seems not to be nailed down. the tub floor was cracked, and it felt like you would fall through. the whole place needs updating.”

“Clean room and property. It was very noisy and could hear people coming and going all night.”

“No hot tub, fridge in room didnt work upon arrival, did get it working eventually, guessing not much maintenance and upkeep.”

“Very friendly staff. Special free meal offered to all guests randomly a couple of times we were there. (Loaded nachos one night, spaghetti one night.)”

“The room was very clean.Comfortable beds and loved their was Shampoo Conditioner and Body Soap and lotion.So much to do around.Would definitely stay again.Didn’t try breakfast though.”

“No continent breakfast. Just granola bars. Don’t say breakfast if you don’t even have cereal.. lol”

“The hotel was poorly maintained. Room not cleaned well.”

“Clean and decorated nicely all around. No Internet issues for work, my kids loved the amenities. The kitchenette was a plus! Staff was respectful and friendly. Also enjoyed their social hour they offered! Lots to do around the hotel as well.”

“Staff were very nice. Hotel was clean. Great breakfast. Would stay again.”

“Quick stay but it was clean, quiet, and comfortable. Staff was kind and helpful!”
