The room itself (with fireplace and hot tub) was lovely, although we didn’t have opportunity to use either special amenity. My wife’s broken foot and need of her knee-scooter made navigation somewhat difficult, but we managed. We finally learned some tricks for getting into and out of the parking area, but traffic is clearly a challenge.

I will start with the staff. They were very pleasant and kind during our stay. My disappointment there is that we had several issues and I was told the GM would contact me and its been several days and that hasn’t happened.

Our room’s AC was not working correctly. The air coming out was cool but extremely humid. So much so that the bedding by the AC where it was directly blowing was damp. I reported this twice and at no point did maintenence address the problem. There weren’t open rooms to move so I asked for a fan to at least increase circulation.

On the last evening, the water out of the sink, shower, and toilet was brown. Like apple juice colored. (I have video of it) The front desk was able to switch me rooms, but did not come to the room to see, get a sample, nor did they assist with moving all our luggage. We let the water in the new room run for 10 minutes and it remained clear so that was good, but the new room was a completely separate wing.

At this point, no communication from the property and no attempt to make things right after so many issues. I would hope that if the water in a room was freaking brown they would offer a refund for the inconvenience and potential to get sick. It would be great to get an answer about the water issue in case there will be health issues.

Breakfast was good. The coffee machine was fantastic. Best i’ve ever had as part of a complementary breakfast. Truly better than many coffee houses I’ve been to.

They gave us an upgrade to a room with a hot tub. We didn’t use it but who doesn’t appreciate an upgrade?!

Last minute booking on our way home when we didn’t know where we’d land. Checked in easily less than 10 minutes after booking. No hassle. Clean room. I am always worried about hotels but this place seemed maintained and was spotless and didn’t smell. I wish the parking lot (where we had to park) was a little more well lit but otherwise an excellent experience. Incredibly friendly staff.

I have never stayed somewhere that I felt so unsafe. I read the glowing reviews on here and booked while traveling alone with my 9 year old. We checked in with rude staff basically ignoring us and a lobby full of people sitting around. It felt like we were walking into a half way home honestly. The room was ok, but everything was old and extremely worn. When we went down to get dinner someone was being taken by ambulance. Went back to the room and looked out a bit later to see a police car parked at the front door. People were leaving bags of trash in the hallway and the entire vibe was just weird. After sitting there a bit, I knew I couldn’t lay down and sleep there. I went online and booked a nearby hotel after looking at reviews elsewhere and felt better. It was 100% the right choice to leave. The other hotel told me that that hotel is being used as longterm rentals for different things and I feel like families should know that, because it doesn’t feel safe for a young woman and child to be there alone. I didn’t even go ask the front desk for a refund because I didn’t feel safe and just wanted to leave. I also never leave reviews like this, but feeling safe is important!

This hotel was absolutely perfect for me. I stayed one night while travelling from Minneapolis to St. Louis. This is a fairly large property and is a haven for visitors and families to the nearby Hospital. My check in (a little early) was a breeze and I got settled in a room equipped with a hot tub, king bed, a larger TV and renovated bathroom. The hotel offers an included \"supper\" - on my visit was tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches with a side salad, along with cookies and lemonade for dessert. The most comfortable meal imaginable - suitable for adults and kids. The menu is listed for the week (Mo-Th), so longer term guests know what to expect. After dinner, I tried the hot tub in my room and it was nice and relaxing. Made for a great sleep on a most comfortable bed. Good, deep sleep - I woke up truly refreshed. The hotel also offers an included breakfast with several options including cereal, eggs and sausages, waffles, yogurt, fruit and two whiz bang coffee machines that make all types of specialty coffees. The hotel generally was a peaceful atmosphere and the hallways and nearby rooms were quiet. I honestly couldn't imagine how it could have been any better. The price was incredibly reasonable for what was provided. They even have a free shuttle to/from the hospital (which I didn't use) but appreciated the thoughtfulness of having it available for families and visitors.

Had to help ourselves to the housekeeper’s cart because we were only provided one bath towel (two if you count the used one hanging on the shower) for four people…needed a fresh bar of soap since we didn’t want to use the one left over from the previous guests. The toilet ran all night. It’s fine if you’re in a pinch to find a room.

The hotel continues to give a mixed impression.

We were given a very nice corner room that actually had a couch and a small cooking area. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. The cooking area was tiny - basically a hot plate with pots, pans, dishes, and utensils on a table right beside the door, i.e., somewhat inconveniently located. I didn't cook anything, but used the desk to make sandwiches to take along on the day's drive. Four of the six light bulbs over the bathroom sink were out, and the cord on a desk lamp was loosely attached, causing the lamp to turn off frequently. Breakfast was decent but not great. We took advantage of the food provided for a light supper: bread, sliced cheese, sliced turkey and ham luncheon meat, a salad, and a \"potato\" soup that didn't seem to have any potatoes in it or even taste of potatoes. A couple warm chocolate chip cookies were provided for dessert. Although I appreciated that we didn't have to go out to get supper, I found the food so boring and processed-tasting, that I wish we had gone to one of the nearby restaurants instead.

We appreciated the room upgrade but were disappointed in the spotty attention to detail when it comes to maintenance. The snack/supper provided left such a poor impression that I think the hotel might as well eliminate it (perhaps provide cookies for their guests upon arrival?). Personally, I would have appreciated the option of brewed decaf coffee at breakfast and in the evening.

Checked in and discovered our door was broken and dead bolt wouldn’t latch.
Back to the desk. Unfriendly worker inconvenienced by this. We left to eat and came back to see if issue resolved. Again-she is inconvenienced.

I really loved the whirlpool room for an incredible price! It was large enough to fit x 2 average sized Americans just fine; which was also a nice surprise.

The mattress was pretty firm with comfortable sheets. The room was clean, however it is an older property, so don’t expect perfection.

My husband and I were reminiscing about how the decor and the room made us remember going on road trips as children.

My husband had breakfast and dinner there everyday and it was hearty and filling and also well prepared.

We’d definitely stay again! Clean property, excellent customer service, and great amenities for a fair price!

This hotel was in a good location and suited us for the one night of sleep on our visit to the University of Iowa. It seemed like it could use a refresh, as the carpet was worn down and rooms were dated. The air conditioning was loud but worked on the hot day. The staff was friendly and the room was clean but due to air conditioning being windows units, not central air, the hallways were stuffy and the room was hot until the air got going. I would not stay here again but it fit our needs on this short trip.

The staff was kind and breakfast was good. The halls were dirty. There was water on the floor by the ice maker and something blue on the carpet outside our room. One of the beds had a large chunk of hair and a dead spider on it. The shower was very small and had no where to place your soap or shampoo. I don't think we will stay here again.

This place was very close to the University hospital and they provide a free shuttle to go back and forth. We really appreciated this service.
They serve a light supper and a very nice breakfast. Our room was clean and quiet.
We would stay here again.

Shower pressure was meh at best, but could probably be fixed pretty easily. Room was decently clean, but could use a deep clean. Breakfast was good and plentiful. Staff was super responsive. Walls are paper thin and could hear water from room above and people talking at a relatively normal volume from next room.

This is a basic no frills hotel, which served our purpose. We just needed a clean place to sleep, which this is. Most of the halls, carpet, and doors are old. Certain parts have been updated, like the bathroom in our room had newer tiles, walk in shower. Beds were pretty standard spring mattresses.
Breakfast is coffee machine, juice, scrambled eggs, sausage, make your own waffles, cereals, breads, yogurt, the usual fare.
We were there less than 10 hours, so as I said before if you just need a clean place to crash, this will work for you.

We stayed here 2 days. The first night when I checked in we went to our room and it was really hot in there. So we turned the ac on and it didnt work. It was very hard to sleep because it was so hot. The next morning we went to the front desk and told them about it. The lady that helped me was rude. She did give use a different room but she asked like I was inconveniencing her. When we got our new room key, we went to the room and it smelled like mildew and stall cigarette smell. We went to the front desk to tell them. The same lady helped us. She was once rude again. She basically ignored us and shrugged her shoulders and went back to her computer. We had to run to target to get an air freshener. The floors are dirty. When my husband took a shower his feet made the water black. The bed is so old you can feel the springs. They advertise the beds as being a queen they are full size. We went to the pool and the pool deck had chunks of hair and food crumbs in the floor. Went we left the second day we were driving our way home and both of us ended up getting sick. We had to keep stopping. We think we got sick by room or the pool. The only good thing with the second room the ac worked. My husband said she gave us the complainers room. We definitely got a smaller room than our first one. We will never stay there again. We dont recommend this place. They dont put any money they make back into the hotel.

My stay at the Heartland was excellent. Easy check in & out. Room was large and clean with plenty of towels. Appliances work, water good temperature and pressure. Breakfast offered protein and good coffee, and staff was on hand keeping stock levels up and wiping down tables. I had a good stay.

​My recent stay at the Heartland Inn in Fairfax, Iowa, was a very mixed experience.
​On the positive side, the check-in process was super easy, and the staff was good to deal with. The complimentary breakfast was actually great, and the hotel is situated near some excellent local food options, which was very convenient.
​However, the building and rooms leave a lot to be desired. Upon arrival, our initial impression was concerning—the stucco exterior walls are heavily stained from the AC units, and the whole property looks more like an old retirement or care facility that was converted into a hotel. The card reader on the exterior entrance was literally wrapped in black duct tape.
​Inside, the carpeting is very old, dark, and outdated. Our room was smaller than expected and had a slight hint of mold to it. The AC unit didn't help the atmosphere, as it seemed to just dump a lot of humidity into the room. Additionally, our in-room refrigerator didn't work at all. To make matters worse, we didn't get much rest because there were loud occupants in the adjacent room and the hallway all through the night.
​Overall, while the staff, location, and breakfast were bright spots, the physical condition of the hotel and the lack of a quiet night's sleep made for a disappointing stay. We left a day early due to the conditions.

One of the nicest places I've ever stayed, honestly and it was a privilege to stay there.
It's also run by very nice people who were very kind and a big help to me, too.
I'm not likely to forget them.

It's a fairly convenient location, has a nice shuttle into Iowa City and medical areas (the driver was super nice too), they have a simply wonderful breakfast and from M-Fri (I think, please check that I'm right), they also offer a delicious dinner too. I so looked forward to that.

Rooms are beautiful and clean and so are hallways and the lobby. I rested like a baby there.

We have stayed at this hotel multiple times when visiting the University of Iowa. It’s a budget hotel so there’s nothing fancy about it, and they say they’re a short walk to campus, which isn’t accurate, you do need to drive. This last stay we had a non smoking room that had been smoked in and instead of moving us to another room, they simply came and sprayed a freshener in the room. Not very helpful. The positives of this hotel is its price and its location. It also offers a decent continental breakfast.

Had to wait quite some time to get checked in. A lady at the desk was wanting some sort of issue resolved and this held everyone up as there wasn't a second person until about 15-20 minutes later. A line of people to check in was beginning to form. Not the cleanest place I've stayed in but the bed was comfortable. Breakfast offerings didn't look the greatest so I passed. I felt safe.

Nice staff, clean.
But the AC unit was TERRIBLY LOUD all night long. If you turn it off you it will be too hot.
If you are noise-sensitive at night this might not be the place for you.

Only stayed one night while in town for a wedding. Room was clean, bed comfortable, staff friendly and breakfast good. Didn’t use the pool. I needed charging cube and they had one to loan me!! That was very appreciated!! Only complaint was poor water pressure. My room was on the third floor. I would stay here again.

Couldn't get a room at my usual place, so I tried this one. It was an older property, but everything was nice and clean. Breakfast was good, staff was helpful, and overall had a great experience. I would definitely stay again. Did not get a chance to use in room hot tub or pool, but both looked very nice.
