Great place to stay. Reasonably priced. Very clean and comfortable. If you pre-purchase the breakfast don’t have too high expectations. It’s a breakfast buffet similar to what you might receive at another chain hotel. Maybe a little nicer… certainly less crowded.

Rooms are very clean, staff is always helpful, Deliscia at the bar is ALWAYS a pleasure to see, she is a wonderful person with a great personality. I stay at this Holiday Inn every time I am in Cedar Falls. The only complaint I have is that this hotel should offer FREE breakfast especially considering the room rates, I have stayed at other hotels around the country that were just as nice that offer complimentary breakfast with your stay and they were better breakfasts than what you charge for at this Holiday Inn.

Location was great for an overnight on the road stay with a gas station and Dairy Queen right next door. Staff were very friendly and the breakfast we purchased was good. Room was clean and the beds were comfortable. Our only disappointment was that we thought there was an arcade but it seems it was just a room with a pool table and a shuffleboard table. Honestly, though, for just a one night stay, we had everything we needed and it was great.😊

Our stay at this hotel made our reunion experience truly memorable. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and professionalism that set the tone for a fantastic weekend. The hotel provided the perfect setting for reconnecting with friends, sharing stories, and creating new memories. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-appointed, and the common areas offered plenty of space for our group to gather and socialize. The location was convenient, making it easy for everyone attending the reunion to participate in the planned activities. A special thank you goes to Mr. Nolta, who went above and beyond to ensure our stay was enjoyable. His attentiveness, friendly attitude, and genuine commitment to guest satisfaction did not go unnoticed. He made everyone feel welcome and was always ready to assist with a smile, helping make our reunion even more special. Overall, the exceptional service, comfortable accommodations, and welcoming atmosphere exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend this hotel for reunions, family gatherings, or any special occasion. We look forward to returning in the future!

Pluses:The hotel was clean, staff pleasant and helpful. These are more important to me than the minuses-hence my excellent review. Minuses:pool was over chlorinated and we were not able to use it as well as many others. Breakfast was free for kids but adults had to pay but it wasn’t worth it. The staff was flying solo and didn’t have time to restock things so quite a few things were empty. Front desk staff was understaffed. One person at the desk to check in, answer questions, get towels/bedding etc on a Saturday evening with a soccer tournament in town. They were very pleasant.
