Drury Inn & Suites Iowa City Coralville

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, lovely property"

Baymont by Wyndham Coralville

8/10 Good

"The staff here at Baymont seem to deal with a lot of crazy people but handle themselves very well. The police were called to the motel twice during our stay due to unruly guests and I never saw the staff act out aggressively towards those people. They maintained their composure well. Our room was clean. The only thing I would have liked more is if the beds were not so firmm and a better shower head."
