We were in Cedar Falls for the AAU Iowa State Championship meet. The breakfast didnt have any breakfast style eggs (hard boiled only) no waffles. The hotel states the rooms are sound proofed, but they arent! kids were running up and down the halls at least until 11ish pm, when we had to be up and checked out by 645 am

When we first got there, we were worried that it wasn't going to be a good stay. Luckily, the hotel was better than the first impression. Walk in and it kind of had an old hotel smell but looked really nice. The lady at check in was nice and let us check in early. She did not give is any info regarding our stay, such as Wi-Fi info, pool hours or breakfast hours. The hallway was hot and the carpet looked like it hadn't been vacuumed in a while which made us worried about our room condition. Great news, our room was actually really nice and clean.
