Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Coralville, IA
Plenty of parking, decent sized rooms, good morning breakfast options. Staff was friendly. Bed was rather hard and shower pressure could be better but was likely high usage as hotel was completely booked.

Graduate by Hilton Iowa City
I love the decor of the Graduate and its proximity to restaurants and campus. The property itself is a little run down and could use more than an esthetic makeover. For instance, the bathroom in our room had a crack on the toilet and a lot of rust on the vanity.
