We stayed at the Iowa House for four days. The room was wonderful. It was clean and cozy. The air conditioner made so much less noise than those at hotels. The towels were plentiful and clean. The bathtub had jets. The breakfast was delicious. The Iowa House is so conveniently located near restaurants and the campus. We absolutely loved our stay there and would recommend it to everyone. If I travel to Iowa State again, I will definitely stay at the Iowa House.
