“Wonderful hotel: modern, beautiful, young...”

Two friends and I met in Iowa City for a weekend and decided to stay at hotel Vetro. This place is amazing!

First off we were impressed by the modern architecture of the exterior and lobby. Check-in couldn't have been friendlier.

Our room was so nicely designed! They took great care in making a superb, hip, modern, minimalistic hotel. Our room was huge, and had a kitchen (though no dishes or silverware). The bathroom was awesome! A gigantic tub, an interesting sink, a nice shower, lots of storage. I was a little nervous about the bathroom door (which was frosted glass, so didn't seem super private for friends travelling together), but it ended up being no big deal.

The best part, however, was our terrace. We thought it was going to be more of a "balcony", but it was a huge terrace with a table and four chairs, and it was so nice to hang out there and watch the people passing by on the Ped Mall.

Our beds were so comfortable - we slept well and all said to each other that we wished our beds at home were as comfy as those in hotel Vetro!

There were parties in the room next door, and street noise, but we were not disturbed by any of it because we were there to have a good time and barhop also.

All of the staff - including night security people - couldn't have been friendlier or more accommodating. The location right on the Ped Mall, with a grocery store on the ground floor and numerous restaurants all around, couldn't have been better.

I loved this place - and wouldn't stay anywhere else when visiting Iowa City!

“A Surprise!”

A boutique hotel in Iowa City? Amazing. The staff were great, giving us directions to the venue our concert was at and recommendations for dinner.

The room was beautiful. poured concrete floors, glassed in shower, huge tub, floor to ceiling windows! The only bad part was that it was one of the coldest days of the year, so the floor got quite chilly. The beds were super comfy.

I highly recommend this hotel.

“Great hotel, few complaints”

Beautiful hotel. Great views and location of Iowa City. The glass theme was something I have never experienced before in a hotel. It made everything feel extra clean. I felt like I was staying at a spa.

The only complaints...The front desk staff was rude. They were short, never smiling or welcoming. I stayed for 2 nights at the hotel and noticed this everytime I called down with a question or approached in person. I don't have high expectations for this but think a hotel should make their guests feel more comfortable. Also, the front desk is the first thing guests see.

Also, we had to run the air constantly and it was loud. I suppose the glass kept the room warm.

Yet, I don't ever stay in places this nice so the hotel felt like a real treat.

“Another Relaxing Stay....”

Was in Iowa City this past weekend and it's just become second nature for us to stay at the Hotel Vetro and honestly we wouldn't think of staying another place! However, the hotel has just gotten BETTER (if that's possible)! The Bread Garden Market and Bakery in Iowa City has just become new residents there IN the Hotel Vetro. It's an amazing fusion of cafe, restaurant, pastry shop, deli, buffet, bakery, gift shop and GROCERY store. It has something for everyone...gourmet quality meals and organic foods...a wonderful selection of wines and beers...you can purchase just about anything you desire within this market!

This is perfect for the hotel especially since each room comes with a kitchen area that has a cook top, full size refrigerator, large microwave and dishwasher. Now if you want to entertain in your room and you are without transportation, you've got the best of both worlds. We always like to have couples in prior to going to the theatre for wine and cheese...a wonderful section of wines and the cheese, well what can I say!

The Hotel Vetro is in the perfect location, convenient to everything...good restaurants, great pubs and bars, entertainment, art galleries, museums and of course the university.

The people that are employed at the hotel have been nothing but gracious and extremely helpful. Another thumbs up from a very satisfied customer.

“My first stay in IA city hotel. not overly”

hotelVetro: studio suites & convention center

Oct 30, 2007
2/6 found this review helpful

Great location. Nice views of IA City. Service was pretty inconstant a couple of time when we called down to the front desk or room service no one picked up. Then again walking up to the front desk there was just no one around. We had a lot of trouble with our key cards which was very frustrating to have to walk back down to front desk to have new ones made, and at one point my card was cancelled for some reason and the room was not in my name and they would not call the room or give me a new key even though I new the name and the room number and I had an expired key to the room. After threatening to sleep in the lobby they went and got the manger from another hotel and called up to the room and let me in.
Not sure how else to say this, but this hotel may be cutting edge in IA but don’t expect the level of design that you would find in a Modern minimalist hotel in NY, LA, or Miami.
