I went to Iowa City for the first time and I did not expect much from this hotel but it surely shined. Finding where to park the rental car was interesting but you park in the closest ramp and the hotel will validate your parking $11/day. Check in was a breeze. Our room 414 was a corner suite with 2... More

Weekend I was there was going to stay at the Sheraton but it was fully booked, so they recommended for us to come here, and I'm glad... More

Located right on the pedestrian mall in Iowa City, this hotel is perfectly located to walk to campus and numerous restaurants and shops. There is a small whole foods-like grocery store next door which is especially convenient because the rooms that I've stayed in all have small kitchens (not stocked). There are a variety of size/styles of rooms. Some even... More

I grew up in Iowa City, so it was a little odd staying at a hotel. Hotel Vetro was a very nice place to stay. It's walking distance from all of the cool places in Iowa City. The rooms are clean, large, and have very nice views of downtown. More

My husband and I stayed at the hotel Vetro in December and loved it. The hotel is modern and very chic. The bed was extremely comfortable. The bathroom was huge and lovely. The location is absolutely perfect. If you are planning to visit Iowa City, you could not be better located. This hotel is directly on the "ped mall", the... More

The hotel is new, clean, modern and hip. Rooms have little kitchens but kitchens are not stocked with glassware, plates or even utensils. You must request thses items from front desk which is annoying considering I am paying $400/ night! Hotel doesn't have restaurant, just a trendy little sushi bar located in the small hotel bar. More

During the time of your stay was a very busy University of Iowa Hawkeye weekend. We look... More

This hotel would be awesome if it weren't so expensive. The location is perfect if you are doing anything on or near campus. The view is nice. The service was good. The room is fabulous if you are into modern Ikea-style design. I found it a little cold and uninviting, personally. However, the bed was comfortable, the shower was huge,... More

We recently stayed at HotelVetro in downtown Iowa City. We were in town to catch up with the place, see how it had changed and what was the same. I've stayed at numerous hotels, and B&B's in Iowa City in the past, and I was thrilled to find this fresh place with interesting architecture. HotelVetro has just the style I... More

First the good. The rooms are attractive, modern and comfortable. The location in the center of downtown in walking distance to shops, restaurants, and the university is very good. WiFi Free. Separate bathtub and shower are a plus. Comfortable beds. The front desk staff's hearts are in the right place and they do try. The high end grocery store next... More

We are so pleased you enjoyed the physical ambiance of hotelVetro. We do recognize the limitations of some views yet hope they do not detract from all the wonderful offerings of the crisp inviting guestroom and bath decor. I was certainly disappointed to hear that the housekeeping services provided were not up to our standards. We do provide various kitchenette... More

This hotel skimped on everything and uses spin words such "green" and "minimalist" in an attempt to distract you from the reality the place is old, tired, run down and shabby. Room service took 1 hour to deliver 2 bagels and a pot of coffee with a house less than half full. Carpet in room was worn and tattered, housekeeping... More
