A hotel is an establishment that provides lodging on a short-term basis. Hotels often provide a number of additional guest services such as a restaurant, a swimming pool, child care. Some hotels have conference services and encourage groups to hold conventions and meetings at their location. The cost and quality of hotels are usually relatively indicative of the range and type of services available. Due to the enormous increase in tourism worldwide, during the last decades of the 20th century common standards, especially those of smaller establishments, have improved considerably.

For the sake of greater comparability, various hotel rating systems have been introduced, with the one to five stars classification being the most commonly used. Basic hotel accommodation consisting of a room with a bed, a cupboard, a small table and a washstand only have largely been replaced by rooms with en-suite bathrooms. Other features many travellers want today are a TV, a telephone, an alarm clock, a small refrigerator and coffee maker.

  • Although at times serene, and almost always verdant, nothing about Iowa truly stands out: this 55,000-square-mile chunk of the Great Plains doesn't even manage to be completely flat, it just wobbles up and down a little. The state is the very essence of smalltown America, close to the geographical center of the mainland US, and ranking decidedly average in size, population and level of personal income. Even the cities seem at times to be merely villages grown large.

    Iowa's history, too, has been relatively uneventful. It was opened for settlement after the Black Hawk Treaty of 1832, a one-sided exercise in negotiations with the Sauk Indians, conducted after many of them had been chased down and slaughtered in neighboring Wisconsin and Illinois. The Northern European immigrants who replaced them made agricultural development their prime concern, turning Iowa into the '' Foodbasket of America '' - a role it generally achieves with scrupulous efficiency.

    Tourist attractions in Iowa are few and far between; its most visited destination is the throwback Germanic enclave of the Amana Colonies . However, the state does also hold a few oddball sites, such as the original locations for the movies The Bridges of Madison County (in south central Winterset, birthplace of John Wayne) and Field of Dreams (near Dubuque in the northeast). You can also see, but not enter, the original house that featured in Grant Wood's much-parodied American Gothic painting (at Eldon in the southeast, and now owned by the state).

    Eastern Iowa, in the Mississippi River hinterland, is liberally sprinkled with agribusiness towns that display the continuing influence of their central and northern European pioneers, plus religious communities - Amish, Mennonite and the Amana Colonies. All are easily accessible from Iowa City; as home to a huge university it's one of the state's livelier centers. Riverside towns such as northerly Dubuque and Burlington, near the Missouri state line, have been enlivened since 1991 by gambling, though so far low-stake poker and roulette games can only be played on board Mississippi paddle-wheelers, decked out in less-than-authentic Mark Twain-era trimmings.

    Greyhound buses out of Chicago call at all Iowa's major towns, with at least seven services per day in each direction along I-80. St Louis is also well served by six daily buses from Des Moines and Iowa City; these towns are connected less frequently with Minneapolis/St Paul. Amtrak's east-west route misses the cities, stopping instead at assorted small communities in the south, though a bus usually makes the short trip to Des Moines from Osceola. The only sizeable airport is in Des Moines. Somewhat surprisingly, Iowa is a good place for cycle touring . Each year the extremely popular cross-state bike ride - the RAGBRAI - attracts thousands of entrants, any of whom can tell you that the plains aren't always flat.
