The Highlander Hotel Iowa City, an Ascend Collection Hotel

Common spaces have had a nice renovation, but bathrooms could use a little more work. There appears to be a shortage of staff to run the hotel; one person was both running the bar and checking in guests; there are signs everywhere for guests to bus their own dishes at breakfast. Pool is a good size that you don't find in hotels in this price range.

I little too deep into the hippy vibe for me. The wall art had that feel of rejected traditional middle-class morality, institutional church authority, and conventional sexual and social rules. Nice place, just had an oppressive vibe feel.

For an old hotel, it is well maintained. A restaurant and pool in the area of the hotel make it seem you are on a vacation out of Iowa. We had a wheelchair accessible room that smelled like mold but was very large and comfortable. If staff didn't have the answer, they kept asking until they did. Happened twice. Definitely recommend. Don't forget the vinyl corner!

It was a great stay, our family felt comfortable. They let us change our original room because our older dog can't climb stairs and we were really thankful.

Great staff

Beautiful 70’s inspired hotel. Beautifully decorated. Breakfast was great. Loved the fresh yogurt bar.

Old outdated hotel, grounds in poor condition, it had a high rating which is false! I would not go there again, Also, they had check in at the bar area, what a joke. I do not recommend this place!

Free breakfast and the pool and hot tub were nice. Bathroom was a little rundown

The room was clean, but dated. The pictures on the website look much better than the actual room. Very run down, old out of style. Waiting for a refund from the price the hotel charged which was more than the Expedia reservation. When asked to speak to a manager, was off on Sunday.

A+++++ definitely love this property it is my go to when in iowa city

Everything was fantastic I would be definitely coming back.

Nicole at the front desk was absolutely amazing! She was so helpful and accommodating and all the other staff was fantastic too. We loved the ability to use a record player in our room and were very happy with all the amenities they offered. We would definitely stay there again. We would have liked a coffee maker in our room.

It was conveniently located near the highway. The rooms were dirty. Room service was not as advertised. Room was warm upon arrival and AC did not work well.

Exceptional

Good

Clean room, loved that they had the air turned on in room. Breakfast was good.

This property is past its prime and needs a good refresh. On the edge of town, this place attracts little league teams and construction workers. Not a good choice for solo female biz travelers. Won’t do it again.

What a waste of money! Extremely Dissatisfied. What a Disappointment.

one of the better hotel breakfasts no elevators, so we had to carry the luggage and cooler up the stairs. fortunately only a single flight
