The staff was okay when it came to friendliness. Breakfast was less than desirable. Waffles or cereal. No protein, no yogurt although the sign on the refrigerator clearly said " milk and yogurt". When asked about yogurt the person in charge of the dining room played dumb while wrapped up in a blanket in the lobby. But. You get what you pay for - cheap room no amenities.

No Thanks
Wasnt impressed with anything. Not as clean as I would prefer. Heater made noises, would rather not use. Breakfast lacking: 2 cereals, toast, yogurt, watery gross looking pancake mix. Lid for coffee cups are too small to fit. Shampoo and conditioner samples mustve been half empty bc they were used prior to us. Wash cloth smelled. Would've been fine if it was a $50 night place to stay just to try to sleep somewhere for a minute.

Run down place with cheap management
Dirty worn out room. Head hair and pubic hair in the tub and bathroom. No pancake mix or milk or hot water for oatmeal. Juice was watered down. Management refused to bring out any more milk. It's a cheap place but you get what you pay for. Be prepared.

Feel like I'm in a zoo. No windows to outside. The window goes straight to the hallway. Had staff lurking out my door a couple times and even try to get in my room even tho I was baked getting out the shower yelling "ya, I'm in here". Other than tht it's good

Smelled like cigarettes even though it said it was a no smoking hotel and was dirty in the room, stains on bed sheets, nasty spots on lamps, debris in the drawer by the bed, pieces of stuff on floor, carpet had stains on it. Literally the only reason I stayed was because I was so exhausted I didn't trust in driving to another hotel.

It smelt funny, they gave us a dirty room, the microwave barely worked. There was also a $100 deposit that was not clear online, and I still havent gotten it back... its been only about 4 days, im in NEED of it (the transaction says its still pending too, but i dont have any of that money).The cool air and heat stopped working half-way through our 6 day stay. The people at the desk were nice enough, but they didn't have much to eat for breakfast either.

Good price. Very close to the Falls Aquatic center. We just needed a place to lay our heads after long hot days in the sun. Nothing fancy, but met our needs.

Absolutely terrible! Room hadn't been cleaned. Shower was full of soap scum and towels/bedding stained. Asked for a different room, second room didn't have the power on. Dirty and the fridge stunk like power hadn't been on in months and standing water sat. Absolutely disgusting, staff said they just got the hotel. Clearly the new owners didn't perform basic cleaning of the rooms before begining taking money from customers. Was a process to get a refund.
Stay far, far away from this place! Not following the most basic sanitary procedures.

Not worth it.
This place has really gone downhill. 4 night stay and NO housekeeping. Had to ask for fresh towels and the garbage was never emptied. Not worth saving money. There were stale muffins and no waffle batter the first morning for breakfast, and it only slightly improved over the weekend.

I used to live in Cedar Falls and this hotel used to be all right. This place has gone really down hill. There is no money spent on upkeep much less upgrades. Breakfast was a joke. No coffee ever. Needs a complete overhaul from owner on down. Would rather take my chances in Waterloo than stay here again.
