Great hotel, great location
Perfect location for a weekend with multiple events across downtown Iowa City. Easily walkable to the UI campus and downtown. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable. Nice breakfast which was included in the rate. Lobby bar with a bartender during certain hours and light snacks. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Heated, covered parking garage for a modest fee. Will stay here again when in Iowa City!

Everything was fine except the TV channels in the room. No ESPN and no Fox, so I could not watch the World Series in my room. Totally unacceptable for a Hyatt hotel.
