“Wonderful Hotel Vetro!”

hotelVetro: studio suites & convention center

Aug 14, 2007
2/4 found this review helpful

We chose Hotel Vetro after reading other reviews on this site, one of which mentioned this hotel in a commentary on the Sheraton. Our suite was gorgeous; like being in a display article in the New York Times Style Section! It's the only hotel we've ever stayed in of which I actually took photographs! Everything was absolutely spotless. We wondered how the all-glass shower had no water spots. For a family of 4 people it was very reasonable even without a breakfast (we went to the New Pioneer Co-op on Washington and made our own breakfast). The location is just fantastic: step out onto the pedestrian walkway and explore the town. Prairie Lights bookstore is nearby, the Old Capitol Musuem is an easy walk, there are lots of lovely restaurants (and we were there before school started up again). The staff were very attentive, made sure we had an air mattress for the youngest family member, etc. One caveat: the pool is horrible, as mentioned in the Sheraton reviews (the Sheraton and Hotel Vetro are in the same building and they appear to be still working out connectivity issues). The pool seems to be run by Iowa City Fitness, but when I wanted to mention the deplorable pool condition I was referred to the Sheraton! Dead bugs, bandaids, hair, and mystery stuff was floating in the pool, and it was very cold (my 11 year old checked that) and too deep for little kids. We also found the A/C to be loud at night, but it was a continuous noise, not rattly or squeaky, so perhaps less obtrusive. Don't let these last items stop you - overall we highly recommend the Vetro and would stay there again without hesitation!

Great rooms! They had a lot of space, each room has it's own kitchen and huge bathtub. It is the best possible location because it leads out into the main area where all the action is. The staff was friendly and helpful. I would absolutely recommend it to everyone. The gym is incredible, and at no extra cost to guests.

“Great Place for a Great City”

hotelVetro: studio suites & convention center

Jul 15, 2007
3/5 found this review helpful

This is my third stay at the Hotel Vetro and each stay has been great.

The rooms are quite large and furnished in lean, clean style that's very appealing, even if you're not a modernist.

The kitchen area is a true bonus, allowing for true chilling of wine or cup of tazo tea (provided as one of the in-room goodies) --which you'll want to do as you look out your window over the nicely lit downtown and towards the Univ. of Ia. campus and Old Capitol.

The bathroom is a wow as you slide the frosted glass door open to a huge bathtub and separate glassed-in shower. The large rectangular sink is gorgeous - the last time I went with a group of friends, several admitted to trying to find a model number for the sink because they also liked it so much.

An added bonus? Iowa City is great place to visit and to come back to this room really makes the visit a terrific one.

Beautiful modernist dream in the heart of Iowa City. Adjacent to the Sheraton on the pedestrian mall. Excellent room with concrete floors and very comfortable bed. Not really full service hotel, but bar and restaurant in lobby are tops. Have the bartender make you a pear martini. Yum!

“Perfect Romantic Night”

hotelVetro: studio suites & convention center

Mar 29, 2007
2/6 found this review helpful

We stayed one night at HotelVetro, while we were in Iowa for a wedding. We opted for the "Romance" package as we were sans children. Beautiful property! What a "metro" surprise for Iowa. The room was spacious and sleek. Very inviting after a long day of shopping and wedding preparations. The employees were extremely helpful and pleasant. The package we chose was reasonably priced, and we would recommend it to all. Wine, fruit, breakfast in bed, what more could you ask for. When in Iowa City, HotelVetro, whenever you can!!!!
