Overall quality mixed…

The Element Iowa City is in a great location downtown. Check-in was helpful and granted our request for a top-floor room. The room was clean and comfortable with a nice shower, but we were awakened multiple times in the night by loud partiers screaming in the hallway. Also, staff present didn’t voluntarily encourage guests to order from a slightly unusual breakfast system. An excellent price will be necessary for a future stay.
