Front desk staff was incredible all during our stay! When we arrived we realized our truck wasn’t going to fit in the garage. They allowed us to park in front of the hotel. Also really appreciated the guest laundry machines as my husband is riding RAGBRAI. Walkable area with several restaurants nearby and we enjoyed martinis at the lounge. Great place to stay in downtown Waterloo!

The staff (particularly 2 ladies working the afternoon-evening shift) were extremely helpful in setting us up with handicapped parking for the 2 nights we were there. We had to unexpectedly cancel for 1 night, and they were also helpful in seeing this through for us. We were very happy with our stay.

6/10 Good

The gal at the front desk was very pleasant and helpful. One elevator was not working and the other one was slow and in a hotel with 10 floors, there was a lot of waiting. Our room was nice and beds comfortable. Parking was little inconvenient- on the street or in the parking ramp. A long way to bring and take out luggage. The pool was small but our grandson enjoyed it!

Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

I will start with the one negative which isn't on the hotel staff... the parking is no longer free and I suggested the appropriate person update listings on third party sites. City has taken ownership of the parking garage and no longer will allow hotel to validate. Parking, first hour free... 24 hours, $6. Not terrible but you can't go in and out freely... pun intended! Street parking free, 4pm-9am. However, there is a skywalk to the hotel, which satisfied me given I woke up to a storm and appreciated loading car dry. (Parking garage is across the street.) Staff are wonderful! I couldn't get in my room and when I shared the light was red and stayed red, she knew it was the battery and gladly changed it immediately. My room was very nice, well stocked and incredibly clean. Breakfast was hot scrambled eggs, bacon with options for make your own waffles OR pancakes. Dry cereal, dairy milk and almond milk. Sliced white bread, bagels and muffins. Fresh apples, fruit cup, applesauce and hard boiled eggs (chilled). Coffee, tea, juices, water. Ample seating. There is also a skywalk to the convention center, also across the street. John Deere Tractor & Engine Museum few minutes away. There is a restaurant next door, menu at front desk. I glanced at it and It seemed nice with reasonable prices. I ate at Starbeck's next too museum, which was very good. I would stay here again, without hesitation.
