I just returned to Minnesota, after a visit to Iowa City. I stayed at the Alexis Park Inn & Suites -- "Your Aviation Destination." Jay and Mary's (3 story x 3 buildings) Inn has wonderful rooms, especially compared to most big hotel chains. The inn is cozy and relaxing, and sits next to the Iowa City airport. There is much to do, as I discovered, in Iowa City -- a University town.
As for "aviation theme" ...this was the biggest surprise. Reading about the inn is one thing...seeing it is something else! EVERYWHERE are aviation artifacts, aviation artwork, signed historic photos, airplane models, aviation magazines, airplane wallpaper, blueprints of old planes, dials, switches and instruments from planes, propellers, framed aviation posters, framed airplane pictures, and the list goes on and on and on.
You'll never get to your room if you stop to look at everything. Slight exaggeration, but not by much. Jay and Mary's Alexis Park Inn has a friendly, family-run feel to it.
