Excellent room and staff. Vending machine had problem. But staff helped. Room was spacious with large TV with good amount of channels. Locality was not great, with limited vegetarian restaurants nearby.

It’s an older property that has been updated. The rooms are nice and big for large families. I waited for 10 minutes at the desk to ask for another key and several people passed through and said someone would be there soon to help me but no one came. I gave up. Breakfast is skimpy. No tea to cold water. Parking lot is a party zone all night long. Very noisy part of town. The people working there are trying but I wouldn’t go there again.

This spot was just what we needed for a quick overnight stay. It was unique to us to stay in downtown Waterloo. We were greeted kindly and in response to my booking request for a handicapped height toilet (71 with wonky knees) we walked into not the non-smoking Kkng I’d booked, but a very nice two room suite! We regretted that we had just the one night to enjoy it!

Hotel is old and the clientele is sketchy, but the hotel staff was extremely nice and accommodating. The hotel allows smoking so our room smelled like smoke.

The elevator sounded like it would break down at any minute, the hallways smelled like marijuana. We were even on no smoking floor. It was so noisy outside with emergency vehicles, motorcycles, drunk people it made it hard to sleep. There were cigarette holes in the bedding. Bad neighborhood. Felt very unsafe, almost didn't stay. My son said the breakfast was good- cereal and waffles.
