This was a lovely property. Very clean and super close to the fun downtown area of Iowa City. The only downfall was there was quite a bit of loud traffic noise all through the night. Motorcycles and other vehicles racing down the street at all hours. I would stay again but will turn my white noise machine up a bit more or wear ear plugs.

This hotel is updated and looks very nice, the rooms are very clean and large, located walking distance to everything that you might need. The parking for the hotel is impossible to find, we ended up parking elsewhere. They also put us on the 3rd floor and we had a lovely view of air conditioning units and a wall, absolutely nothing else. We have never been to Iowa and we’re expecting to see at least something out of our window but absolutely nothing, that room might as well not have any windows. I would not be returning to this hotel.

We were visiting the University of Iowa campus, and the Element is less than a block from campus. The room was spacious, very clean, and comfortable. The breakfasts were great, with 2 hot options each day. My one quibble is that the front desk staff, while friendly, could have been a bit more forthcoming with information, like where the entrance to the parking garage is and the fact that we would need to get a new "exit ticket" to get us out of the garage on the day we left.
