If You Are in a Hurry
Here’s a quick list of the best hotels in Iowa City





Pet-friendly hotels in Iowa City, United States, offer more than a place to sleep—they provide convenient access to the city's vibrant downtown, nearby parks like Hubbard Park and the Iowa River Greenbelt, and services tailored to traveling pets. Choose accommodations that clearly list pet policies, fees, and amenities (dog beds, walking services, and designated relief areas), and prioritize hotels within walking distance of restaurants and outdoor attractions to minimize car trips. For the best experience, book early for pet-friendly rooms, confirm size or breed restrictions, and pack familiar toys and bedding to help your pet settle in quickly.
