10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Easy parking. Clean, spacious room. "

Courtyard by Marriott Iowa City University Heights

4/10 Poor

"Hotel staff were very friendly. Restaurant staff during the day were abrupt and also rude. The hotel was over run by a youth basketball group. They were loud, running up and down the hallways, and very inconsiderate of other guests. The noise volume from the lobby area carried to our room until well passed midnight both nights. Staff said they were unable to do anything about the noise."
