Frankly, as a pregnant woman this stay felt like it would never end. It was cleanier than most hotels but that doesnt makeup for the disrespectful management. The woman who checked us in knew about our dog and yet we were required to pay an additional 80 dollars which i might add they never told us when they put the payment through. In addition, they said it would be 180 but they would do us a favor and bump it down to the charged price. We were never informed about this upon arrival. Doors slamming at almost every hour on the hour and need i remind you i am 7 MONTHS PREGNANT! And i already have a hard time sleeping. Also very loud music coming through the vent in the bathroom. We are pretty sure we were placed in the room next to what seemed to be their storage room. It was as if we needed an eye kept on us like we were criminals. Microwave worked but only if you needed something cooked for a minute. I had gone down for breakfast and made myself waffles, before i could even eat a man comes from around the corner and practically stares me down. "Why, why you did this?"(a mess of batter that i did not clean up yet) "this is no good", same man who told us not to bring cereal into room. Again clear criminal treatment. Or maybe just a thing against woman. The wife who i assume was married to that man was very much in the wrong for calling my fiance a liar. As she walked away. We would expect either a full or half refund. Or a few nights free at a later date

Not worth it.
This place has really gone downhill. 4 night stay and NO housekeeping. Had to ask for fresh towels and the garbage was never emptied. Not worth saving money. There were stale muffins and no waffle batter the first morning for breakfast, and it only slightly improved over the weekend.

The building is very worn down. It was cold in the hallways. The heater did not work properly. Had it set to 80 and it was still cold in the room. Shower was dirty. Bathroom counter dirty. Room smelled musty. Only stayed bc it was late when we checked I. Did not get greeted by staff had to call 0 on the phone and then he came around in his socks. Not very professional.

I used to live in Cedar Falls and this hotel used to be all right. This place has gone really down hill. There is no money spent on upkeep much less upgrades. Breakfast was a joke. No coffee ever. Needs a complete overhaul from owner on down. Would rather take my chances in Waterloo than stay here again.

There were several concerning things about this property. There was a huge brown stain on the floor by the bed. The stain reeked of cigarette smell. The lampshade on the desk was broken and had been set directly on the light bulbs - a potential fire hazard. The smoke detector was hanging from the upper wall by the wires - not sure if it would have worked in case of a fire. The mirror on the bathroom door was filthy. The phone in the room appeared to have scorch marks on it. The metal Kleenex box covering was full of rust spots. The sink leaked A LOT, all over the floor. When I contacted the person at the desk about the leaking sink, he said, "What do you want me to do about it?" I was stunned at his comment! I asked for another room, but he said there weren't any other rooms (I'm not sure if that was accurate or not). He brought us more towels to mop up all the water and gave us a $5 bill as compensation. We put a wastebasket under the sink to catch all the water that was leaking. We did NOT shower the next morning as the tub looked rather grimy. There were very limited breakfast items, plus a broken juice machine. We went to a restaurant for breakfast, after we checked out. Will NOT stay there again!

Overall the neighborhood was fine, felt aafe for a late night check-in but when we checked in guy at sesk never spoke a word to us. When we got to the room, the door was ajar, held open by the security lock. Made us really nervous. Bathroom was disgusting! Floor had wear holes in it, chair had atains, and we found a smooshed bug on the wall!

my room was very clean and mini split HVAC was very good. HOWEVER I have a few negatives.... In spite of only 2-4 cars in the parking lot AND never seeing another person in the hall in a 2 day stay....I was told there were no rooms on the first floor, so lots of stairs and confusing halls....so IF you are older or have issues with mobility, check first Also my remote for the TV did not work at all and manual turn on limited my choices to 3-10 channels Coffee machine in room may have worked.....but part to hold coffee was missing. I did housekeeping in a major hospital ER so small things catch my eye.....bathroom door mirror was quite dirty....Little things matter

I chose the motel after looking at pictures of the place on Expedia, the place looked nothing like the pictures on the website. I was traveling alone and did not feel safe or comfortable. The place was dirty and run down. Had a moldy/dusty smell when you walked in the door. Employees never came into the room to change towels or sheets in the 5 night stay. I had to go to the desk to ask for toilet paper. I would never stay at a Days Inn again.
