"Travelodge Iowa City is an old hotel. When I lived in Iowa City in the 60's, 70's and early 80's it was the Howard Johnson Motor Lodge. Since then it has undergone several rounds of renovations. The current status is "comfortably worn", though the rooms have been updated. I stayed for 5 days in October, 2017. My room was very comfortable, with a flat screen HDTV, a good bed, coffee/tea maker, and a bathroom with good water pressure and HOT water. My only complaint is the old heater/air conditioner. It's the huge type that sits along the windows, and it was fairly noisy. It was somewhat difficult to get the heat set to my preferred temperature with the old-style mechanical dials. Another issue is that despite the addition of plexiglass guards, the output from the blower would catch the curtains and blow them up into the air, removing any semblance of privacy. I used my shoes to keep the curtains away from the air flow. The complimentary breakfast was nothing special. They served pre-made cheese omelets, and had a waffle maker. The "blueberry" mix didn't have any blueberries, but it was slightly blue in color, with some blue flecks. The standard mix was much better. The best thing about the breakfast was the coffee. They have a constant brew coffee machine that is never empty, and it's on 24-hours a day. As a certified and proud coffeeholic I was well impressed. I filled my trusty Trucker's Thermos many times over the five days. WiFi - they have it. If you get a room near the front desk it should work fine. I was, alas, near the far end of the building, and the WiFi was unusable. I ended up tethering my cell phone and spending money on data. Workable, but how hard would it be for Travelodge to install a cheap WiFi range extender or access point? The location is somewhat remote. You will have excellent access to Interstate 80, and Coralville and Cedar Rapids are just a quick drive away. If you need to be close to downtown or the college areas, think twice"

"First stay at this hotel visiting a kid at Uof I. Staff were all very nice. Accommodated our need to stay an extra night due to a snow storm. Free breakfast was pretty good. I love that they provide complimentary headphones in the fitness room. In addition, the staff were hosting a bunch of children who were there with the Make a Wish Foundation. The staff were dressing up in character costumes because the performers who were supposed to be there cancelled. They went above and beyond! Definitely will be staying there again. "
