You'll be greeted by a heaping pile of home-baked oatmeal cookies AND an adorable & friendly pug-beagle named Jemma. The Blue Room on the second floor has a private shower and toilet, all very clean, and a comfy bed with armchair + mini-fridge. Self-service tea is right outside the door. 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.

One of the worst experiences in Iowa city !!! Love the location and the proximity to downtown, but…read morethe place overall is just horrible. We went to do laundry and after running the washer, we opened it up and somehow a bat was in the washer. Not even a week later there was another bat flying around in our room!!

Overall, the condition of the house was horrible and I would never come back.

This is for 318 E Jefferson St. Iowa City…read more WARNING: If you are planning to EVER become pregnant, do not rent this apartment. There is lead paint in the kitchen cabinet doors which rubs off and drops into the food you are preparing. A fresh coat of paint on top (the owner's proposed solution) will do nothing to fix the problem as paint on a friction area like tight-fitting cabinet doors will wear down to layers below. Lead can be absorbed into bone which is later released when you're pregnant causing permanent damage to a developing fetus. The apartment was filthy when I moved in. From walking around barefoot for an hour, my feet were black with dirt. I told them and they directed me to a mop and bucket in the basement I could use to clean it. I mopped the entire apartment three times and the water was still black. The fourth time it was gray. There was also food splashes all over the cabinets and walls in the kitchen. There were crumbles of paint in all the windowsills and paint chips on the floor around doors and windows. The gas was not on when I moved in. It was not turned on until the eighth day of my lease term and I had to request a reduction at least four times before they were open to discussion. The kitchen sink was leaking water out onto the counter and underneath the sink every time I turned on the water. This took a few days to fix and I was left with a kitchen covered in metal dust after they fixed it. I tested the paint and it came out positive for lead. I was crushed remembering all of the lead paint dust I had to clean up when I first moved in. It is also in the kitchen cabinets so that whenever you open them, lead dust falls in the food you are preparing. The rubbing cabinet doors make it so that even if they paint over it, the lead paint will eventually be exposed and start falling in your food again. I alerted them to the chipping lead paint and lead paint in friction areas creating dust. They proposed having a guy come in here to do some work who was NOT lead certified. This would have made it worse. These apartments are advertised as well-maintained but they are not. Let me give you a few other examples. The glazing on the exteriors in my windows is falling out and nonexistent in places which means they have not been painted in probably over fifteen years. They leak out heat like crazy. The wood floors have not been redone in an age to the point that they are rubbed bare in large areas. The linoleum floor in the kitchen is so old that it looks dirty even when it is clean. The "gardens" outside are overgrown with weeds and poison ivy. The poison ivy was even creeping onto the pathway where I walk in. I alerted staff a few times about the poison ivy (also throughout "gardens" of their other houses) and nothing was done about it until I came home one day and saw that the poison ivy had been weed whacked and the poison ivy was strewn all over the lawn. This company is going to do the bare minimum to get up to housing code only if you insist and will not go beyond that. I chose this place because I liked the idea of supporting the preservation of old houses, and I thought by paying above market rate that I would really be getting a great place, but this house is not being kept up and should not even be rented in the state it is in.

The front desk clerk was energetic and friendly, even recommending a few local spots to grab food. We didn't use the pool or gym, but both looked clean and well taken care of.

Otherwise, the price was surprisingly reasonable -- especially on a day when the Iowa Hawkeyes were playing. I'd definitely stay here again.

Our only problem here was that there was an extremely loud party across/in the hall by our room our first night there. We did get a different room for the second night and had no problems. I like that there is an outlet and shelf by "my" side of the bed. That seems like a small thing but it is a very uncommon amenity and it REALLY makes my life easier and is much appreciated. Decor is whimsical and interesting. Room has a fridge, I always like that. There is a cafe here with fantastic coffee drinks. Also, I got a hug from Branford Marsalis here but I can't guarantee that others would be so fortunate. If we come to the Stop/Time festival in the future - and we probably will - we absolutely will stay here again.

Location is a strong point--convenient and easy to access. Pricing was fair overall, especially for…read morea work stay, and the on-site shop and coffee/restaurant options were reasonably priced. That said, there are better dining options nearby, which I'd recommend over eating at the hotel. Parking is overpriced for what this property is. $20/day feels excessive given the overall quality and location. Service was the biggest concern. The bathroom wasn't properly cleaned, and issues others have mentioned in reviews--like the pumps--are real and still not addressed. That's a red flag. While the older design didn't bother me personally, it's clear the property isn't being maintained at a level that matches expectations. The bigger issue is execution: outdated equipment (the AC unit is loud enough to wake you up), visible dust, and inconsistent upkeep all point to broader operational problems. Some light modernization and tighter attention to cleanliness and maintenance would go a long way. Overall, this doesn't align with what I'd expect from a four-star experience.
