Abhorrent Breakfast, the rest was fine
Pros:

Location was good

Cons:

Worst breakfast ever. Eggs like cardboard. I will always give a 1 star when hotels give guests breakfast that is that bad.

This was a wonderful stay that met my expectations.
Pros:

I loved everything about the room. The bathroom was very clean and prepped nicely. I had no complaints about the room itself.

Cons:

The hallway noise became a bit bothersome at night. But i understand that the only way to fix that is to make the door thicker!

Excellent
Pros:

What I liked was that our keys wouldn't work to get into our room, and the staff was excellent in helping us get into our room. We stay at this Hampton Inn whenever we are in Iowa City, and always will.

I would not stay here again.
Cons:

The room was run down, the chair didn’t even have a cushion cover on it and was cracked and peeling. You could hear the people walking around above us all night. The breakfast was lacking healthy options.
