This hotel is adorable with very unique and colorful rooms, took me back to my grandparent’s house in the 70’s.

Very charming and affordable hotel! We loved the decor of our room, seventies vibes with a country twist. There are NO ammenities beyond the basics like soap. Literally not even a glass in the room to drink some water or a coffee maker. The hotel is nestled in a great location. Parking is not included but affordable. I would stay here again.

I’m not quite 21 yet, but I wanted to see my girlfriend while she was doing an internship through the University of Iowa. Being an 18+ hotel I booked with Graduate and was able to see my girlfriend for the weekend! The room was fantastic, the staff were amazing, and everything was nice and clean. I absolutely loved the Iowa University retro design in the rooms as well. Such a good hotel! 100% recommend!!!

Loved our stay. The only problem was that one of the elevators didn’t work during our stay so sometimes we had to wait a lot to be able to enter the other elevator. The room was nice and clean! The location is amazing!!!We are coming back again next month.

The room was stinky and the AC was not working. The technician came after several hours around midnight and couldnt do anything about it. He gave one fan to use for a family of 4. Kids suffered the whole night and couldnt sleep. The staff were not helpful to resolve the problem quickly. Worst experience for a Hilton! Will never book again.

Entire hotel was running on one elevator which was very inconvenient. Bar/restaurant had door open which let flies into the dining area making it unpleasant to compete with flies to drink your coke when they are drinking from the same straw as you are. Saturday night was very noisy with parties going on late across from the hotel and college kids shouting out of their balconies at each other. Had to pay for parking albeit at a discount of $20 a night. This is added onto the $300+ a night room rate. Was disappointed.

The Graduate is a college dorm-themed hotel, excellently located on the Iowa City ped mall, close to U of I campus, bars, restaurants, etc. Parking in IC is expensive so their parking arrangement at $20/day is a good deal. The hotel’s cafe is convenient and roomy, with tables with plug-ins for devices. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful. The room was a good size, with a comfortable bed, blackout curtains, lots of device charging ports and both a desk and side chairs. The bathroom was the only minus, needing an updated shower enclosure.

We had an amazing stay at the Graduate by Hilton Iowa City! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The hotel is beautifully designed, and every detail of the décor makes it feel unique, cozy, and full of character. We loved how the rooms reflected the local college-town charm while still feeling stylish and comfortable.

One of our favorite touches was the room key; it wasn’t just a standard hotel key card, but a fun keepsake that perfectly matched the hotel’s personality. It’s the little details like that that make this place so memorable.

The room was spotless, comfortable, and well-appointed, and the overall atmosphere made us feel right at home. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Iowa City!

Quirky older hotel that has been renovated. Generally clean and nice, the smell was a bit weird in the lobby, the coffee shop was being renovated and it was not available. Coffee and lite pastries were supposed to be provided but the was not filled when I was there. The corridors are oddly reminiscent of The Shining which is slightly unsettling. Staff was generally nice and helpful but dressed very casually, I didn’t realize the front desk person was part of the staff and not a guest. I might stay again if I had too, but would probably choose something different next time.

We were greeted by a large private security guard who stared us down and blocked our entrance to the front desk to check in! Not the experience we were expecting. It felt very uncomfortable and unsafe. I felt like if I would have said anything the guard would have stopped me and made me leave. Apparently, this is the new protocol for Hilton hotels in Iowa City.. You have to get by a large serious guard just to check in. The front desk clerk didn't make it any better. When I approached the check in desk he questioned what I wanted and put me thru the third degree to make sure I was guest. Evidently, this hotel has trouble with people posing as guests or destroying bathrooms. He proceeded to grill me over my parking ticket and then printed out a ticket he said I could use for validation of parking. This ticket did not work and I paid the city $40 to park in a hotel parking garage. We spent close to $400 which included a $250 dinner of basic hamburgers, french fries, potato chips as an appetizer. Our server told us we could receive a discount for staying at the hotel but of course this was bad information or lack of training because we received no discount. It is really too bad because the location is great and the hotel is decorated in a unique vibe. I talked to 3 hotel customer service reps the next day including Kennedy only to get the company line and why they couldn't and wouldn't be able to offer any discount or credit just an apology and the promise of talking

Stayed one night while visiting the university to tour. I wanted to like this hotel but it’s not a great room layout for two parents & a teen. There was two very small mirrors, pedestal sink in bathroom the drain in shower didn’t drain, all made it hard for 3 adults to get ready for the day.
The walls seemed very thin and we clearly heard our neighbors conversations. Also, the lack of bathroom fan made it very uncomfortable after 3 showers.
Location is awesome, lobby cute.

Don't bother with the breakfast coupons. Didn't save me any money and was a hassle. Some days they would and some days they would not give me a free drink with breakfast. Just buy breakfast where you want, instead of paying for a coupon

We had a late check in which I had informed the hotel of earlier in the day. We ended up checking in around 10 pm and when we got to our room and had went to use the bathroom I noticed the toilet was filthy with feces stains in the toilet. There was no soap or shampoo and conditioner in the bottles that are affixed to the shower wall. I did also notice the beds were made but the sheets and pillow cases were very wrinkled like they had already been slept on. Then to top it off in the morning when I went to make a cup of coffee there was a creamer and some sugar packets but no coffee at all to be made as well as what looked to be mustard stains on the carpet next to the bed. The staff was nice but I would never stay there again as I felt the room was very dirty for the amount of money they charged. Very disappointing to say the least.

It is my favorite place to stay in Iowa city so far. As it’s easy to walk to a lot of things, including the campus and target and dinner spots. The staff overall is very friendly. I plan to stay there again in the future.

Tyler at the front desk was very friendly and helpful, we really liked him a lot. The restaurant Wilder was really more of a bar with a small pub menu, so was a little disappointing, only because we were anticipating a full restaurant.

Great hotel, cute rooms, it is fun to be on the Ped Mall. You get parking in the garage right there. It can be a little noisy, but that is expected in that location. Will definitely stay there again.

Very nice, clean, and spacious room! We came with our small dog and were greeted with a couple milkbones for our pup. Maybe I had to request it, but there was no fridge in our room, so just be warned! (I carry wet dog food for our dog--luckily we had a cooler in the car!) Staff was friendly, too! Great spot with a great vibe!

We ended up having a nice one night stay but the property is a little tired. You have to walk outside into another door to get into the bar area and the whole place just seemed like it needed a renovation. We were on the sixth floor in a king bedroom and the bathroom was so small that two of us could not fit in there at the same time. I will say that the staff was very very friendly!

Arrived 3/7 for one-night stay before a youth sports camp the next day. Iowa City was overrun with drunk college kids for some “pub crawl” event- despite that, we were given a warm welcome and assurances that if guests were disruptive, we could call front desk and police would intervene.
Room was comfortable. I paid extra to have “breakfast included” in our stay. We were paying for two adults and one teen to stay in the room, so imagine my surprise when they told me only two breakfasts were included (not what hotels.com advertises). I was given a third voucher when I pressed them…but when we took our breakfast vouchers over to their cafe, it turns out they have a SPECIAL voucher for Expedia/hotels.com- and only ONE item is covered. So, it’s really a discount- not a “breakfast included.” Also, their espresso machine was broken - so only drip coffee or cold brew available and you’d be paying for it-their VERY limited breakfast menu was also inaccurate. You can get a breakfast burrito or a bagel or an avocado toast- no fruit or sides to go with it. Definitely doesn’t feel like a full breakfast. French toast is the only sweet offering, but they don’t actually have that. They admitted that they should “really take it off the menu.”
This was almost the most expensive place we could have stayed, and I’m not sure we’d go back. The rooms are nice, but price is high and not much of a breakfast. Parking costs extra. I’m a Hilton Honors member- it did nothing for me here. Cafes nearby.

We booked the hotel so we could visit our daughter at school. Check-in was listed as 4:00 PM, and we arrived around 5:00 PM. When we arrived, the front desk associate informed us that our room was not ready and told us to come back in a few hours.

I explained that waiting several hours was a problem because it would take away from the limited time we had planned to spend with our daughter. She apologized and said it was their fault but also stated there was nothing she could do. She mentioned she would take care of our parking as an apology.

Later, when I checked out, I found out that parking had been comped for everyone staying at the hotel that day, so this was not actually a resolution to the situation.

I asked if I could speak with a manager. The associate gave me a card and told me to call him. I asked if she could try calling him directly, and she said he had not answered all day. I also asked if she could contact housekeeping to check the room status. She initially refused but eventually did.

Considering the room had already been delayed for over an hour past check-in, being told to wait “a few hours” seemed unreasonable. After she contacted housekeeping, the room was ready within about 30 minutes.

What was most frustrating was the communication. When I asked why we were not informed that the hotel was running behind on rooms, she stated it was because we booked through a third-party site. While we were waiting, several guests who did not book through a third par

I was hoping for more as it's part of the Hilton but honestly I was disappointed. Many outdated furnitures and rusty bathroom vanity and shower bar. The pillows were horrible and the bedding had a very strong bleach odor, to the point that I had hard time falling asleep. Therefore I will not stay at this property again. The only positive was to he location which is very close to university of Iowa and down town Iowa City.

We arrived and expected 2 rooms but only 1 with a single king size was available. Then had to add 2 roll away beds for 4 adults and there was simply not enough room. The room smelled of smoke and then the next day we got another room added but still did not have 2 beds in each room.
