When we checked in there were dirty Qtips on the floor next to the garbage can and the floor was not cleaned.

The proximity of the University as well as the cleanliness of the hotel makes this my new favorite for staying in Iowa City!

Nice, convenient hotel to the University of Iowa campus. Made walking to campus simple. The only confusing aspect was the parking, but definitely not as bad as some downtown hotels.

This is our favorite hotel chain, but each time we come to this location it reeks of ********* in all hallways, stairwells, and elevators.

Overall quality mixed… The Element Iowa City is in a great location downtown. Check-in was helpful and granted our request for a top-floor room. The room was clean and comfortable with a nice shower, but we were awakened multiple times in the night by loud partiers screaming in the hallway. Also, staff present didn’t voluntarily encourage guests to order from a slightly unusual breakfast system. An excellent price will be necessary for a future stay.

Breakfast was not enjoyable. Food and drink was not kept stocked and breakfast station does not work for number of guests.

I love the Element Hotels and always check to see if there is one when I travel. However, this room was very small. The TV was positioned so you could only see it from the bed. Not the most comfortable spot to sit and watch TV. I had to move the table and desk chair when I ate so I could watch TV. staff were less than helpful when I had a problem with the WiFi. Luckily I figured it out on my own.
