Airport travellers are the obvious fit. Guests describe the setting as convenient for the airport, and the property lists a free airport shuttle. Free parking, a gym, a pool, free Wi-Fi and air conditioning are also listed.
It is a two-star hotel, so expect a simple, functional stay. Skip it if you want a full-service hotel, or if you plan to spend your days on foot around the city.
Location and getting around
The address is 645 America Drive SW, Cedar Rapids, IA. Guests give the location 8.9 out of 10, mostly for airport access.
The one sight in our data, the Mother Mosque of America, is 10.5 km away. That is about 131 minutes on foot as a straight-line estimate, so it is far. You will need a car, a taxi or public transport for sightseeing. Walking times have not been verified.
What guests say
The score is 8.8 out of 10 from 196 reviews, joint first of 9 eligible properties in the sample. That is a strong result with a decent number of reviews behind it.
Cleanliness stands out. Guests call the rooms modern, well designed and spotless throughout. The airport location is the other common positive.
The main complaint is value. Some guests felt the rates were high for the location and the amenities. Room size, noise, renovation condition and cancellation terms have not been assessed.
Price and what you get against our other two picks
The reference price was €236.47 per night, seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults. That is about €473 for both nights and around 5% below the sample median of €250.20. It is not a live quote, so check today's price for your dates.
TownePlace Suites Cedar Rapids Marion, our Budget pick, was €193.24 a night with a score of 8.4 and 3 stars. DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Cedar Rapids Convention Complex, our Luxury pick, was €254.69 with 8.7 and 4 stars.
So this hotel saves you about €18 a night over the DoubleTree and has a slightly higher score, but it is a two-star. The guest complaint about value is worth taking seriously at this price. Breakfast is listed as continental and to go. Whether it is included is not confirmed.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 9 eligible properties in Cedar Rapids. This one combined the joint top guest score, a solid review count and a price below the median. That balance is what we look for in a Best Value pick. It is not necessarily the cheapest option.
