We love staying at The Graduate brand and truly enjoyed the decorations/designs and the location.

Liked:The staff was very friendly and helpful. Our room was not ready when expected and they went out of their way to make sure we were compensated for the inconvenience after a very long drive. We very much appreciated their wanting to make things right.

Disliked:The rooms were very small and the bathroom had very little storage/shelving for 3 people.

Fairly neglected property we selected for the location in Iowa City

Liked:Initially allocated room smelled of cigarette smoke. The alternative two rooms smelled of recent cigarette smoke even more strongly, As we had prepaid, we stayed in the first room and complained to the reception in the morning. They sent someone uo with a spray, the smell became less but still noticeable. The hotel showed signs of "deferred maintenance" . one of two elevators not working and not being repaired during our four-day stay, Shame what the Hilton brand has become.
