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.

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.

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.

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.

Frankly, as a pregnant woman this stay felt like it would never end. It was cleanier than most hotels but that doesnt makeup for the disrespectful management.
The woman who checked us in knew about our dog and yet we were required to pay an additional 80 dollars which i might add they never told us when they put the payment through. In addition, they said it would be 180 but they would do us a favor and bump it down to the charged price. We were never informed about this upon arrival.
Doors slamming at almost every hour on the hour and need i remind you i am 7 MONTHS PREGNANT! And i already have a hard time sleeping.
Also very loud music coming through the vent in the bathroom. We are pretty sure we were placed in the room next to what seemed to be their storage room. It was as if we needed an eye kept on us like we were criminals. Microwave worked but only if you needed something cooked for a minute.
I had gone down for breakfast and made myself waffles, before i could even eat a man comes from around the corner and practically stares me down. "Why, why you did this?"(a mess of batter that i did not clean up yet) "this is no good", same man who told us not to bring cereal into room. Again clear criminal treatment. Or maybe just a thing against woman.
The wife who i assume was married to that man was very much in the wrong for calling my fiance a liar. As she walked away.
We would expect either a full or half refund. Or a few nights free at a later date

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.

The building is very worn down. It was cold in the hallways. The heater did not work properly. Had it set to 80 and it was still cold in the room. Shower was dirty. Bathroom counter dirty. Room smelled musty. Only stayed bc it was late when we checked I. Did not get greeted by staff had to call 0 on the phone and then he came around in his socks. Not very professional.

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.
