I had a wonderful time at the Iowa House! Everyone there was so nice. My room was cozy and clean and perfect for me! The price was good, too. It was a couple of blocks away from the Parks Library on campus at Iowa State University, which is where I spent my days. So great to have the complimentary breakfast each morning in the nice dining room. Also, I loved eating dinner at the little outside patio at the cute restaurant a block and a half from my room as well. Gorgeous neighborhood--quiet and conducive for studying. The parking was convenient and safe. I will be returning in a couple of months!
