The Gateway Hotel & Conference Center offers a convenient location near the University of Iowa, known for its meat innovation and processing courses. The hotel provides a good cost-benefit ratio, with functional amenities, though it may not be considered luxurious. The staff is generally described as welcoming, and the rooms are reported to be amazing. However, some guests have encountered issues, such as unclean facilities, malfunctioning toilets, and poor communication during the planning process. Overall, the Gateway Hotel & Conference Center seems to provide a mixed experience, with both positive and negative reviews from guests.
Check in was easy and so was parking. The staff at the hotel and restaurant were great, however we had an appetizer that was a warm corn dip and what appeared to be stale doritos served with it.
Also, the beds are firm and the pillows are very small.

Good cost-benefit ratio in terms of prices and not to mention that it is located near the University of Iowa, famous for its meat innovation and processing courses. It is not luxurious but it is functional, not to mention that there is transportation to the university
