Even though I believe in supporting local businesses whenever I travel, I've had some very bad experiences with B & B's over the years that have sent me to the global chain hotels. When we recently visited Iowa City on business, several people recommended the Brown Street Inn. Our experience there was so terrific that not only did we fall... More

My daughter and I stayed in the Brown Street Inn while we were on a college visit to the University of Iowa. We'd had a long drive after a day at work, and the first thing Innkeeper Mark did after welcoming us was ask us if we were hungry. He then gave us a map to restaurants within walking distance,...

A friend and I stayed at the Brown St Inn last night. The whole way home today was how wonderful this place is. Mark has definitely figured it out. We did not feel like we were staying at a hotel. It felt like visiting an uncle. The rooms were big and clean. So Clean. The Breakfast was better than anything... More

Until now I have stayed in B&B's only with my wife, but the reasonable pricing and high TripAdvisor ratings lead me to consider Brown Street Inn while alone on business in Iowa City. Now I am adding even further to the high ratings. The Inn is a tastefully decorated early 20th century home well located for downtown, the university, and... More

The Brown Street Inn was a truly wonderful experience. It was super clean, extremely friendly, and was like being at home...only, in a home much nicer than you would normally find yourself in.

The Brown Street Inn has plenty of rave reviews here, but I want to echo other travelers in highly recommending this lovely place. I usually stay with friends on my rare visits to Iowa City, but needed a quieter space on a recent trip - Brown Street was perfect! The decor is lovely and thoughtful throughout, with interesting touches of... More

I had been looking for a place to stay and have our wedding when I came across the Brown Street Inn. And let me say, WOW, it is a very beautiful B7B that is very warm and welcoming!! Mark, the owner is just amazing and helped us with everything and anything that we needed. His breakfast is wonderful and the... More

The B & B I used to go to closed. Brown Street Inn was truly a great replacement and I would stay there every time I was in Iowa City. Great location, I felt so at home there, and Mark was so great and loving. Wonderful breakfast, small refrigerator in room, cookies at night, stocked water, soda, tea and coffee!... More

This is one of the best Beds & Breakfasts my wife and I have stayed in and we have stayed in many. The house is charming and beautifully decorated. The hosts are charming and very accommodating. We stayed in the Red Room; it was large, very comfortable. The breakfasts were first rate. The neighborhood is charming (right next to the... More
