Top Grout Museum of History Hotel Reviews

Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham Waterloo

8/10 Good

"I had a couple issues during my stay but the staff handled everything they could. The first was that the flushing mechanism on my toilet broke and it would not flush. I was going out for the evening and by the time I got back it was fixed. I really didn't like how high the beds were off of the floor. I had to jump up to get in the bed. If I sat on the edge of the bed my feet were at least 6 inches off of the floor. Lastly the last night I was there (it was a Sat. night), someone on the second floor made a few very loud bangs on the floor (like dropping something heavy on the floor). It woke me up a couple times. Breakfast was satisfying but because a men's sports team was staying there they all ate breakfast at the same time and hogged the waffle maker so I had to eat other things. But all in all my stay was a good one."

"just like the resort in all"

The Weis Mansion

10/10 Excellent

"I already did a review but to repeat - briefly, every thing was outstanding and especially the owners who are welcoming with warm personalities - the breakfast was an epicurean delight and her husband in not only an author but an accomplished musician - he serenading us playing his bagpipe - we highly recommend you stay at this beautiful mansion - Keith & Donna St Louis, Mo"

Comfort Suites Cedar Falls Industrial Park

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms were spacious and the beds amazingly comfortable. The check-in staff guy was very nice and friendly. Nice breakfast. The hot tub worked after hitting the button several times, but the water feature in the pool did not work, which bummed out my grandkids. But the pool itself was very nice."
