Top Waterloo Convention Center Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn Waterloo Cedar Valley

8/10 Good

"I only have one complaint...the insulation is not great between floors because the folks upstairs woke us at midnight and again around 5 am. They weren't intending to be loud I dont think, but it sounded like giants stomping around both times. The property was very nice otherwise."

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Cedar Falls, IA

8/10 Good

"Staff was very friendly and attentive. Unfortunately, the elevator broke the first night we were there so being on the third floor that made it diffucult for my husband and I because we are elderly and had 2 energetic grandchildren with us. The staff looked into it right away but the elevator was out of commission for the remainder of our stay. The breakfast was good. Good selection. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub. It was a also very convenient location."

"The staff was amazing and very accommodating, the rooms have a musty odor as well as damp feeling, the fridge was dripping water into my food and didn't stay cold, the lights behind the bed wouldn't turn off. construction around the area mad it a bit difficult to navigate at night but thats not the Motels fault. if you need a place to sleep for a couple day this is perfect for you."
