Cedar Rapids - Iowa City hotel rooms a the Independent

"The room smelled so bad. Like smoke plus wet carpet. We had to buy a box fan and then open our door and run the fan for an hour at first then run air con, open window even though it was raining outside and run the box fan at night. The rooms are worn and tired although the shower pressure was good and water was warm. Carpet in room made me wear socks all the time. "

"Nice clean room, staff was super friendly. It's an older hotel but the rooms are well kept and clean, it worked really well for us."

"Great location from the interstate and surrounding neighborhood"

"great staff"

"This is a very well-maintained property. The beds are comfy and the bathroom counter spacious. Even the grounds surrounding it are meticulous and there are sheltered tables outside. You’ll find numerous restaurants a short drive away and a Culvers a short walk away. We will definitely return! "

"Nice clean hotel, well-lit and not noisy. It's in a nice area with helpful staff. I highly recommend it and will definitely come back, making it my go-to place."
