Wrong room and crabby front desk staff
We booked a double queen room for 4 people and when we arrived we had 1 king and a rollaway twin had been added to the room prior to our arrival. This was not disclosed to us when we checked in, but something we discovered when we got to the room. They claimed they couldn’t give us the correct room and then offered breakfast vouchers and free parking. We had to have one of our family members stay with friends in their room to make it work. When we requested a late checkout we were treated rudely by the front desk staff. We had several friends staying here as well and all of them had issues with their rooms, too.

The only thing I would have appreciated would have been that we could have used the two bottles of water that were in the hotel room so we wouldn’t have to pay $2 for each bottle. Most hotels provide two bottles of water, but at the Hilton Garden Inn in Iowa City, you had to belong to the Hilton Club in order to have for free.

Everything was great! There was a little hiccup when checking in (I think it was a newer staff member that wasn’t fully trained on how to read Expedia reservations in their system). The front desk manager quickly stepped in and it was taken care of. Room was nice, clean and quiet.

Booked this hotel based on specific room type. When I checked in and got to my room it was a different room type. Went back downstairs to front desk and attendant explained that my purchased/prepaid room type was unavailable and they knew this when they gave me the key but didn’t bother explaining or letting me know (I guess they wanted to surprise me). I requested a refund so that I could go to another hotel with the room I needed. They explained that they could not do this. I explained that the room type given to me would not work. They apologized and agreed that it was a bummer I had a room I could not sleep in. I then asked for rollaway bed, which they agreed to. Very frustrating that I needed to troubleshoot and solve the issue to a disinterested attendant after a long drive with 2 kids. Next morning was charged for breakfast although we had prepaid for breakfast. Hotel was in good condition, will try somewhere else next time I am in Iowa City.
