Nice, convenient hotel to the University of Iowa campus. Made walking to campus simple. The only confusing aspect was the parking, but definitely not as bad as some downtown hotels.
Breakfast was not enjoyable. Food and drink was not kept stocked and breakfast station does not work for number of guests.

Overall quality mixed…
The Element Iowa City is in a great location downtown. Check-in was helpful and granted our request for a top-floor room. The room was clean and comfortable with a nice shower, but we were awakened multiple times in the night by loud partiers screaming in the hallway. Also, staff present didn’t voluntarily encourage guests to order from a slightly unusual breakfast system. An excellent price will be necessary for a future stay.
