Iowa City's Biggest Rip Off

The Hotel Vetro is all style and no service. An attempt at trendy, minimalist furnishings, complete with monochromatic employee uniforms straight out of the late 80's. There was no doorman to help us unload our bags, or to help us get in the door; no bellhops to bring the bags to the room; no valet (or at least there was none anywhere in sight), even though parking is in a city lot on the corner (that the hotel at least will validate); the hot water broke in our room (and apparently in many others in the hotel) and we were told that we could go down the block to use a vacant room at The Sheraton "if we wanted to take a shower"; 1 of only 2 elevators available to guests was broken, the other's floor was covered with muddy footprints, that were never cleaned up in the 24 hrs that we were there. The hotel has sealed concrete floors in the guest rooms and the hallways, which look great, but echo and amplify every sound; as a result, the rooms are anything but quiet. The restaurant, Formosa, continued the same condescending attitude. We witnessed several unhappy potential patrons leave before being seated (as did we) when a wait time of "15 to 20 minutes" progressed into more than an hour with no end in sight and a bad attitude to go with it. This hotel is trying VERY hard to be a scene, unfortunately at the expense of it's clientele. Someone needs to remind the management that this is IOWA City not NEW YORK City. The Hotel Vetro is certainly not worth the money.
