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.

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.

There were several concerning things about this property. There was a huge brown stain on the floor by the bed. The stain reeked of cigarette smell. The lampshade on the desk was broken and had been set directly on the light bulbs - a potential fire hazard. The smoke detector was hanging from the upper wall by the wires - not sure if it would have worked in case of a fire. The mirror on the bathroom door was filthy. The phone in the room appeared to have scorch marks on it. The metal Kleenex box covering was full of rust spots. The sink leaked A LOT, all over the floor. When I contacted the person at the desk about the leaking sink, he said, "What do you want me to do about it?" I was stunned at his comment! I asked for another room, but he said there weren't any other rooms (I'm not sure if that was accurate or not). He brought us more towels to mop up all the water and gave us a $5 bill as compensation. We put a wastebasket under the sink to catch all the water that was leaking. We did NOT shower the next morning as the tub looked rather grimy. There were very limited breakfast items, plus a broken juice machine. We went to a restaurant for breakfast, after we checked out. Will NOT stay there again!

Overall the neighborhood was fine, felt aafe for a late night check-in but when we checked in guy at sesk never spoke a word to us. When we got to the room, the door was ajar, held open by the security lock. Made us really nervous. Bathroom was disgusting! Floor had wear holes in it, chair had atains, and we found a smooshed bug on the wall!

6.5 out of 10
my room was very clean and mini split HVAC was very good.
HOWEVER I have a few negatives....
In spite of only 2-4 cars in the parking lot AND never seeing another person in the hall in a 2 day stay....I was told there were no rooms on the first floor, so lots of stairs and confusing halls....so IF you are older or have issues with mobility, check first
Also my remote for the TV did not work at all and manual turn on limited my choices to 3-10 channels
Coffee machine in room may have worked.....but part to hold coffee was missing.
I did housekeeping in a major hospital ER so small things catch my eye.....bathroom door mirror was quite dirty....Little things matter
