I stayed in a room when they were REALLY inexpensive back in 1995 before I was picked up for my Navy Service. Went back with my husband (found out he lived down the block when I was there & walked under my cold food bag...Read More

This is a really cool hotel. It's the oldest in Iowa and the second oldest in the US that's been in continuous operation. They really highlight and have the history preserved but still have the modern conveniences of air conditioning. It was a really well...Read More
VacationCoupleLocation: 5Really high ceilings and big windows. It lives up to being the oldest continuously operating hotel in IowaThey have the old school keys so many of the other ones have like a barcode swiper or NFC or something like that so this was cool. I don't remember the last time I'd used keys like thisI really picked this place out because of its history and also its location. Many restaurants and places to go to bookstore etc. All walking distance from hereThey had a coupon for the bar that you got $10 off for staying there and they had white breakfast like cinnamon rolls. You could heat up and some coffeeRomantic

A real gem! Located right in the middle of downtown Cedar Falls. Walking distance from food, shopping, nightlife (albeit 90% of the patrons here are college age). Rooms were unique, comfy and quiet. A lot of historical artifacts, photos, etc. you...Read More

This charming hotel is so much more than a 3-star! It takes a lot for me to feel “at home” at a hotel, and I did here. The kind service, thoughtful touches and location made you feel like you are in your own Hallmark movie....Read More

This place is great and in the center of downtown. Parking is a struggle, and that's the only down side.

Unfortunately, my recent stay was not good at the Black Hawk hotel. I understand that this is a historic hotel but they should still adhere to cleanliness and safety standards. The comforter on the bed was not clean and had multiple brown stains and rips....Read More

It’s the second oldest, longest running hotel in the US so it’s old. A tad tired but lovely nonetheless. We were there for UNI Homecoming and the location was great. Lots of great food options close and a quick 2 block walk to the homecoming...Read More

The Hotel exceeded our expectations. It was beautiful. For its age, it is very well kept. The staff were available and helpful. Downtown Cedar Falls has become a lively place. We had complementary pastries and coffee each morning. The price makes it a superb value...Read More

PLEASE DO NOT SUPPORT THIS BUSINESS!! Extremely rude customer service. My bridal shower was hosted here, and I’m really disappointed with how it went. The staff were extremely unhelpful and rude throughout the event, which made what was supposed to be a special day feel...Read More

Beautiful historic hotel in a beautiful downtown setting. The Sturgis Falls Festival was going on that weekend and we had a blast! The hand crafted cocktails at Bar Winslow were to die for. Room cleaning is by request only.

Sadly this beautiful structure is on the decline. No more convenient parking near the building, no more breakfast Café on site. The "free continental breakfast" consisted of a cinnamon roll and a pot of coffee. Literally nothing else. They …

Great historic hotel in the heart of Cedar Falls. Are the floors level, no, but that is part of the charm of a 170 year old building. The beds are comfortable, the water is hot and has good pressure. What makes it the...Read More

While the parking was discouraging somewhat, it really isn’t. You can unload behind the building at the back door, they have a trolley to load your belongings, then you can check in, then move your car. I parked 2 blocks away in 24 hour …
