I booked here as I stayed here 20 years ago and it was lovely. I haven't stayed here in a long time as I tried newer hotels in Coralville. This weekend, I came back as I wanted to be closer to campus. For starters, all your client facing staff (front desk, maintenance) are Iowa nice and very professional. Your rooms are borderline uninhabitable and are so overpriced for what you get. I had a leaky ceiling in the bathroom, broan stains in the tub, no bottom sheet on the bottom mattress (it was bare) and the carpet/drapes/furniture are all SO SO dated and worn. These rooms are NOT for anyone doing any kind of business as you offer NO kind of desk nook. I had to move the TV to set up my laptop and work. I was SO incredibly disappointed with the forgotten and dilapidated conditions of the guest room and bathroom. Let me be clear--his was NOT a cleanliness issue. This was management not addressing and spending on rooms. Honestly-it was a time warp. I am an alumni from 25 years ago and was excited to return and say "on campus". To say I was disappointed is an understatement. Whomever manages the property needs to do a hard look at what they are trying to accomplish and whom they are trying to serve. Your client facing crew is great-but I will *never* stay here again as it feels you have no plans to do an upgrade.
