Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
While the staff were welcoming and helpful, this hotel looks nothing like the pictures you see on the internet. It is run down and neglected. The towels were dirty. One of the washcloths had mascara on it (not my mascara). When we saw how dirty the room was, we skipped the breakfast. What I thought was going to be a relaxing stay in Cedar Falls turned into a "how fast can we get out of here?" layover.

Never staying here ever again!!

Horrible disgusting place! Carpet was stained, bugs in the room, tv did not work, air conditioner sounded like malfunctioning rattling jet engine and blew warm air, shower did not work, toilet was clogged, hair dryer did not work, mold growing in the bathroom, smelled awful! DO NOT STAY HERE EVER!!!

Not like the photos.

The hotel didn't quite match the photos. They had baggage carts but no elevator. Stairs only. It was dirty. The bathroom floor hadn't been cleaned in quite some time, especially behind the door. The carpets were dirty, and I saw an earring back in the living area. Breakfast was just as questionable. There was butter but no bread or bagels or anything. Yogurt cups & dry cereal. With a gallon jug of milk that everyone handled and shared. Kinda gross. The lids didn't fit the coffee cups. Nothing else for breakfast. The personnel were friendly and kind.

Fine if you're desperate

Overall, hotel was dirty and worrisome to stay in. Did not find bed bugs; did find homeless sleeping on couch in the entryway. Breakfast was available in the morning and waffles were good.
