Woodspring Suites Coralville Iowa City

This property is an extended-stay hotel, which was not made clear on the Hotels.com website at the time of booking. However, I have stayed at extended-stay hotels for short visits before without issue, so I didn't think much of it.

Unfortunately, as our stay progressed more concerns came to light. I believe the bulk of guests were construction workers and families of the extensive road project nearby, which contributed to cooking smells in the hall and frequent yelling from parents at loud children behind closed doors.

The building's fire alarm went off at 12:30AM and while it was eventually turned off, our smoke detector continued flashing a green light for the remainder of the stay. There were no typical hotel amenities such as a hairdryer, iron/ironing board, extra pillows or towels, and no maid service. The cited “free toiletries” was simply a small bar of soap and a little tube of shampoo. And the rooms were not “soundproof” as claimed. We heard the heavy-footed guests above pacing around and our neighbor’s bedframe banging against our shared wall during their post-fire alarm activities. Additionally, the floors were sticky and gross, and we felt compelled to wear our shoes in the room the entire time.

The staff was friendly and did their best to make things right, but it’s clear this property was capitalizing on the university football crowds by renting their extra rooms without making any adjustments to accommodate short-terms travelers.

Clean room and grounds. Not enough towels and the body towels were somewhat thin. However, friendly staff and would stay again!

No amenities…no coffee, no breakfast, front desk staff only there a certain number of hours in a day….not well ran for a new hotel.

I liked that it's close to my job and it's very quiet. Customer service is good. I have no complaints at all.

Hotel was totally fine. Nothing incredible but certainly not bad. Very convenient and easy to get to. The front desk individual was great. She was really nice and helpful.

It was basic and clean. It more than met our needs.

Clean property, room basic, had kitchen but you had to buy/rent everything silver wear, pots pans etc. everything was OK nothing was special. Poor sound insulation could hear noise from room above and lots of sounds from the hall. Felt like whole hotel was leaving at 5:00 am

No front desk help after 6pm on weekends. Only 2 towels in the room. At least give us a coffee pot with room brew coffee! Bed was ok but overall noisy with people coming and going all night due to no quiet hours. Weird place overall. Clean but will not stay here again

It was very clean and quiet. I liked the location near hiking trails, the shopping center, restaurants, and the interstate. I enjoyed my stay here, but was not prepared for the absence of kitchen wares. The freezer was very noisy when the condenser turned on. The air conditioner could not keep up with the intense heat, even with the blinds closed. There was seldom anyone around to ask questions to in the office.

One of the worst equipped rooms I've stayed in. New hotel, but no USB ports of any type. No drapes, just blinds to the parking lot. I read that some of the rooms have blackout drapes, but this one didn't. No hand towels, just washcloths and bath towels, all of which were damp because the room was so humid. But worst was the bed. Sure, a comfortable mattress, but it was on metal springs that squeaked every time you moved. Don't even try any rhythmic activities on the bed. No coffee anywhere in the hotel. This place is designed for customers to bring all their own stuff and live here. It has a cooktop and full size microwave and fridge. No table, just a small built in desk. Internet is free and sufficient for email.

It was a nice place to stay.

The person that helped us with check in was lovely and kind. The rooms were clean but this is not a place to stay for anyone actually hoping to get a good nights sleep. There were doors slamming constantly and music booming from rooms all over until 3:30am….my husband and I maybe got 4 hours of sleep all night before traveling on.

Arrived at 10:30pm. Hotel was locked and front desk closed. There was a sign saying desk closes at 9:00. This was not mentioned in the listing. There was a phone, but repeated attempts only rendered a recording. I went elsewhere for the night.

Very VERY basic

The water pressure was non existent in the shower..has to fill a cup up to rinse soap off and shampoo out of my hair.
Arrived at hotel at 9pm..front desk was closed and front door looked. Instructions to check in was on front desk . If another customer didn't let me in would

I stayed here for a month on a business trip. It was a very pleasant experience. The room was clean and comfortable. There is a full kitchen, but you have to purchase cook ware or bring your own. Did not receive housekeeping, but I cleaned my own room. I had no issues and will definitely stay again.

The property was clean and the staff was friendly. However we were given an after hours number for linen if needed, and when called they just said they would come in the morning. Not to mention that for four guests we were only given 2 towels and wash rags. Which made showering difficult since we couldn’t get more of them.

Noisy, no staff on early in the morning, no coffee, no water should have some basic stuffs.

Close to work

The bed was very comfortable. Spacious, good room setup. Shower must have water saver head, felt narrow and didn’t have a grab bar. Would ask for handicap room next time.
