Top Waterloo Hotel Reviews

Isle Casino Hotel Waterloo - A Caesars Rewards Destination

8/10 Good

"The room was very spacious. Bed was really comfy. Shower head was great. Not quite up to par for cleanliness in the shower. But the rest of the room was great. Adult swim time was relaxing and a great idea."

Best Western Plus Waterloo & Cedar Falls

10/10 Excellent

"I will start with the one negative which isn't on the hotel staff... the parking is no longer free and I suggested the appropriate person update listings on third party sites. City has taken ownership of the parking garage and no longer will allow hotel to validate. Parking, first hour free... 24 hours, $6. Not terrible but you can't go in and out freely... pun intended! Street parking free, 4pm-9am. However, there is a skywalk to the hotel, which satisfied me given I woke up to a storm and appreciated loading car dry. (Parking garage is across the street.) Staff are wonderful! I couldn't get in my room and when I shared the light was red and stayed red, she knew it was the battery and gladly changed it immediately. My room was very nice, well stocked and incredibly clean. Breakfast was hot scrambled eggs, bacon with options for make your own waffles OR pancakes. Dry cereal, dairy milk and almond milk. Sliced white bread, bagels and muffins. Fresh apples, fruit cup, applesauce and hard boiled eggs (chilled). Coffee, tea, juices, water. Ample seating. There is also a skywalk to the convention center, also across the street. John Deere Tractor & Engine Museum few minutes away. There is a restaurant next door, menu at front desk. I glanced at it and It seemed nice with reasonable prices. I ate at Starbeck's next too museum, which was very good. I would stay here again, without hesitation."

Motel 6 Waterloo, IA - Crossroads Mall - Cedar Falls

8/10 Good

"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."
