Mixed to negative: multiple reports of unclean rooms on arrival, pool area mold and old trash, a bed-bug report and strong odors (cat urine) indicate substandard housekeeping in several stays.
Service
9.7
Generally praised for friendly and helpful staff and smooth check-in, though some incidents of slow maintenance response, no manager present for complaints, and lack of callbacks were reported.
Location
9.6
Consistently positive: convenient to UNI campus, close to old downtown Cedar Falls and restaurants, easy freeway access and perceived as a safe area.
Room Quality
8.5
Mostly comfortable beds and good showers reported, but some rooms had odors, dated bathrooms, burnt-out bulbs, missing remotes and occasional cleanliness problems.
Amenities
7.2
Mixed: breakfast, pool and hot tub are available and sometimes praised, plus homemade cookies; but pool/hot tub cleanliness and odd smells were noted and TV/maintenance delays occurred.
Value for Money
7
Mixed value: some guests recommend and find it reasonable, but issues with incidental holds, billing delays and unmet requests for compensation lowered perceived value for some.
Food and Beverage
7.4
Mixed reports: several guests called breakfast good or excellent, while at least one guest reported expired milk, watered juices and missing items—results vary by stay.
Overall Experience
8
Overall mixed-to-positive: many guests recommend the hotel for location, friendly staff and comfortable rooms, but serious cleanliness and service follow-up issues tarnish some stays.

Pros:

The rooms were ok, the pool area was not cleaned well, an old bag of candy was laying by the hot tub for who knows how long. Black mold caked on the vents in pool area. Breakfast was terrible, no sausage ,no orange juice, cranberry and apple juice was obviously watered down, the milk was expired by a week with chunks on the top. Save yourself, go somewhere else.

Pros:

Check in was smooth. Our first room had obviously not been cleaned, the bed was unmade, the bathroom had trash in it and used towels on the floor.
We were given a second room, which was clean, but no tv remotes and two burnt outlight bulbs. We were given one tv remote but the bulbs were never replaced. We asked for a discount on our room several times and no manager was ever present and no compensation was given. The breakfast was decent and the property was well kept and conveniently located. Expected better service for the price.

Pros:

We have stayed here previously and had an excellent stay. This time there was a terrible smell in the room, especially bathroom. Smelled like cat urine. Also the price of the hold for incidentals went up to $100 and we were told it would come off following check out. The charge is still pending over a week later and every time I call the hotel they’ve said they would look into it and call back and have not. I definitely won’t be staying here again. Very disappointed
