SureStay Plus Hotel by Best Western Coralville Iowa City

Comfortable and quiet for good price. Bed was very comfortable with good pillows. Good-sized fridge in the room. Quiet room. Air conditioner is on the noisy side. Window does open. Really good blackout curtains. Nice looby and breakfast space. Chair upholstery needs spot cleaning.

The good and the bad Pros- the location was good, staff was friendly, easy check in and out, breakfast was good. Cons- room was not clean (dirt in bathtub, toilet lid broken and laying on the floor, carpet needed vacummed). Overall, I usually have good stays at Best Western Plus so I will try other Best Western Plus again.

Great location, quiet and clean Hotel was full of baseball teams. We stayed on the 1st floor heading to pool. Room was quiet, the beds were comfortable and Bfast was fine. Cleaning solution was still strong but price and location was great! Staff helpful and friendly. There was a giant cobweb in the corner but only thing missed in the cleaning. I have stayed at this location once in the past and had the same experience as before. Usually stay at a different chain but this hotel moved to 1st place to check when visiting this area due to staff, cleanliness and location (7 minutes to Kinnick or Carver, 12 minutes to Coralridge Mall driving in town and 5 minutes to the Trader Joe’s area)

Good basic accommodations We have tried several hotels in the area when visiting family so we have a lot to compare to. This is the right balance of location, price, and amenities. It’s “basic accommodations” but we slept well and had a good breakfast. It’s a block off the 1st Ave strip and several blocks from I-80 so it’s a little quieter than some hotels but easy to find. Parking was convenient. The shower was real slow to drain and the towels weren’t terribly plushy, but this is not a big deal. The pool is big enough to swim short laps in. The exercise room is small but has the basic machines. The only thing I found odd was the decor in the common areas — the couches in the lobby have big furry pillows, and there was a Buddha in the hallway of the 2nd floor. Just not your typical neutral decorator items, but to each their own!

Will be a good place when the construction ends This is a good, budget motel with clean rooms and a convenient location. Unfortunately the roof was being replaced on our last visit, and a large portion of the parking lot was occupied. On check-in, I asked the front desk staff whether the rooms would be noisy, as she put us on the top floor. She said no, it shouldn't be bad. When we entered our room, we heard the bam, bam, bam of the roofers just above our head. I returned to the front desk and inquired about how long they would work that day (Friday). She didn't know, and calls to management provided no clarification. She said she didn't think they worked on the weekend. I asked to be moved to another room, so she put us on the other end, which was quiet. The roofers worked until 7 PM, and they also worked on Saturday. We understand that roofs need to be replaced, but many will not enjoy renting a room where it is quiet only from about 7:30PM to 7AM. Staff at this location were pleasant but not engaged or knowledgeable. The breakfast offering were typical, but the breakfast room was quite cramped, particularly when the tour bus full of people descended on the room. We couldn't get in the first time we went on Saturday morning, and the room was closed when we returned at 9:15, as breakfast ended at 9, even on weekends. The pool was nice and we enjoyed it. We will probably return to this location, but we will call first to ensure that no construction is going on. We were very happy that we did not get a nail in our tires after this visit, as they were scattered around the parking lot. The roofers did a good job of picking them up with a large magnet.
