The breakfast buffet each morning is fantastic, and full of so many choices (boiled eggs, scrambled eggs, yogurts, bagels, waffles, fresh fruits, juices, etc. On the first floor, there is an enclosed pool on the inside of the hotel. Additionally, there is a small pub that serves only wine and beer. It's small and intimate. There are about five tables. The rooms are well-maintained, and I love that they keep everything eco-friendly. For example, they only change bedding every three days during your stay unless you request otherwise.

She found a suitable substitute and didn't even charge me for it. She is my Christmas angel. If her employer sees this they should do everything in their power to keep her. Maybe a raise or a bonus. Because of her I believe I'll have a wonderful vacation. Also we arrived early and they got us checked in. Not only checked in but in rooms next to each other. Another employee to recognize is Carol. She was working breakfast and was helpful with a couple of things. I.E. I asked for a wet washcloth because the napkins don't hold up well for large messes. She brought me a warm wet washcloth.

Our weekday breakfast included lemon blueberry scones baked from scratch, oatmeal apple muffins (zucchini muffins the next day), and a giant, sizzling cheese-mushroom-onion-tomato frittata with coffee, freshly squeezed orange juice, and gourmet teas. Oats and flax also available. Organic berries and cantaloupe. Will definitely stay here again if ever back in town... HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

The Blue Room has less natural light for great sleep, and the Yellow Room is bright and sunny. Christine and Doug were amazingly helpful with small things like printing off a page or two for the class I was taking in Iowa City. The frittata that appears on days when Christine isn't overwhelmed with her other work is amazing! They were extremely accommodating of my varying schedule, leaving coffee out beyond the typical clean-up time. I'll stay here again when I'm overnighting in Iowa City. Highly recommended, especially if you're in Iowa City for a short-term class.
