My wife and I stayed at the Smith's B&B on two occasions and we plan to return any time we visit the University of Iowa for the Summer Writing Festival Workshops. The home is beautiful and your hosts, Mark and Beth are personable, warm & charming. My wife and I like to stay in the downstairs room because it affords... More

Stayed here with our young kids. The B&B has a downstairs room with private entrance and not near other guest rooms. Perfect for families with young kids. Breakfast was good and location is great. The innkeepers were wonderful.

Friendly service despite late arrival, spacious, nicely-decorated, quiet, and comfortable room, delicious breakfast with good company....and all for less than the price of a weird-smelling breakfast-less room at one of the chains off the interstate. Smiths' is a great choice and right near downtown.

I recently stayed at Smith's B&B for four nights and had a wonderful experience. The house was warm and welcoming and Mark and Beth even more so. The breakfasts were WONDERFUL. I'm still dreaming of the homemade bread. It was in walking distance to downtown. I would stay there again in a heartbeat and would recommend it highly!

I was actually there in January of 2008 with three extended family members (my kids & my cousin), thr four of us ranging in age from 15 to 50ish. The upstairs bedrooms, sitting room and spacious bathroom were ideal for a family group. At breakfast time, we were treated like guests of Mark and Beth, and the rest of the... More

I'm not the B&B type, but I recommend Smiths' B&B without hesitation. The house is exceptionally clean, very comfortable, and located within walking distance to campus/downtown. And Mark and Beth are excellent hosts. They're intelligent and laid back folks who are happy to engage, though also will respect your space. I stayed for four weeks, mostly in their downstairs apartment... More

Smiths’ B&B, on Brown Street, is my favorite place in Iowa City. I have been a guest at the Smiths’ several times in the last few years, and have stayed at various times in each of their three spacious and attractive rooms. I really appreciate the table and chair that I find in each lovely guest room, as well as... More
