We came to Iowa City to visit a graduate program at the University. I am *so grateful* that we found this delightful Inn via a google search. As I look back on the visit, the Brown Street Inn was the highlight of our stay in Iowa City. What struck me immediately was an incredible attention to detail in every respect.... more

The Brown Street Inn is a beautiful, meticulously maintained (both the house and the yard), scrupulously clean 1910-era home in a lovely, tree-lined, older, quiet residential neighborhood about 9 blocks north of Iowa City's downtown. Mark greeted us at the door and immediately had us feeling comfortable--he seemed to have a 'sixth sense' of how and when to most appropriately... more

Hosts Mark & Bob made our stay at their Inn more than just another b&b experience. They graciously offered the use of their beautiful and private front porch for the wedding my partner and I were there to officiate. It was a perfect location, and, with the legalization of same sex marriage in Iowa, they may well have started themselves... more

Upon arriving at the Brown Street Inn I was struck almost immediately by how neat, tidy and incredibly warm the environment was. We were greeted by the Innkeeper Mark who I fell in love with! He was engaging & helpful without being intrusive and he indulged me and my many questions about the history of the beautiful 1913 Dutch Colonial... more

What a wonderful B&B, great value too. Great location on a quiet street populated by beautiful houses. We walked into "downtown" Iowa City, the hosts had excellent directions and suggestions for a nice dinner spot. Comfy, casual B&B, good food, nice room, spotless, old world charm. If I'm back in the area, I wouldn't consider staying anywhere else. more

reason to go. The Brown Street Inn is a wonderful place. Beautiful, historic and enhanced by the utterly charming and exquisite "looking after" by the inn's owners and hosts, Mark and Bob. We recently had or third stay and the rooms are as fresh and inviting as ever. As a guest, one feels attended to and yet, as others have... more

My wife and I frequently stay in B&Bs when we travel and the Brown Street compares favorably to 95% of the places we've ever stayed. It meets or exceeds your needs at every turn. The innkeepers are friendly but not obtrusive. They are truly helpful without being nosy. The entire place is spotless. The rooms are well appointed and have... more

Overall one of the best b&b experiences that I have had. Stayed with my fiance while visiting my brother who is a student at the University of Iowa. The owner's are super friendly and helpful. They can help guide you to any destination close to or in Iowa City. The rooms are immaculate. Wonderful breakfasts! We looked forward to every... more

The Brown Street Inn is our favorite place to stay on our frequent trips to Iowa City. The inkeepers, Mark and Bob, are friendly but not intrusive. We appreciate the well appointed rooms and eclectic art in this immaculate inn. Breakfast are always a treat. The Brown Street is "hands down" the best place to stay when visiting Iowa City. more
