Also a gas grill but had to go fill ourselves. Other than that we were very happy with the place and the owners. Well worth the stay!!!"

Drury Inn & Suites Iowa City Coralville

Drury Inn & Suites Iowa City Coralville

10/10 Excellent
"We expected an old-style 2 story Drury Inn, and were amazed to find a 7 story, 3+ star full-service hotel for much a better price than much lower-rated motel properties in Cedar Rapids. Room and bed were great. Hot tub was a welcome experience at the end of a long day on the road. Full breakfast was excellent and well maintained. Staff were beyond friendly, including the hotel GM who was bussing tables during breakfast! This will be on our itinerary for our next trip through central Iowa!"
