Review Score: 10

Summary: This is a great hotel right next to Kinnick Stadium and the University of Iowa Hospitals. The entire staff were so friendly. I stayed during a snow storm so I could be close to the hospital where they were transferring my mom. The lobby bar/restaurant has great food and drink selections.
