My son and I stayed there this past weekend. Our room bordered the games arcade and pool. Our visit was motivated by a tour of the University of Nothern Iowa. Upon entry to the hotel, you will be welcomed by the smell of chorine. On a Friday night, be prepared to endure the sounds of children in the pool until... more

We are staying here tonight because we need a place with an airport shuttle. Next time I'll try the Ramada to see if it's any better. The hotel itself is clean, but just too old. This was probably a great property in 1970, but it's worn out now. The Holidome concept needs to go away; it's way too loud, as... more

I would have given this hotel a better rating had it not been for the fact I've been up for a few hours listening to kids screaming at the pool. It's 9am right now, and there are obviously no rules here. I called the front desk and politely asked them to ask the parents to help keep the screaming to... more

My wife and I were visiting friends and we stayed at this hotel. The hotel staff was extremely nice and friendly. The hotel was very clean as well. The food in the restaurant was fantastic. Everything we ordered was good. The service at this hotel was also very good. Our food was prompt as well as the service in the... more

We were in the Cedar Falls area for the USA National Wrestling Tournaments in early April. For the past several years we have stayed at this Holiday Inn and are always happy! The staff goes out of their way to make us comfortable since they know we'll have a lot of kids to contend with. They are always ready to... more

My wife and I stayed here last weekend, we got the room on Priceline (rated 3 stars). This is the first Priceline property I have stayed at where I was really disapointed. The room was run-down and smelled like smoke (it was a non-smoking room). On day two the shampoo and bath soap wasn't replenished (even though I called the... more

I was happy with the price we got on this hotel, but I have some gripes. We were put in a smoking room and couldn't get a nonsmoking due to two weddings, but it was ok. When we got there I liked the layout (two floors of rooms in a large rectangle with an indoor pool in the middle) but... more

We stayed at the Holiday Inn, Cedar Falls on 8/2 - 8/3 and it will be the last time we will stay at this hotel. When we first checked into our room they put us in a smoking room when we specially asked for a non-smoking. They were nice enough to switch our room, but gave us a handicapped room.... more

I stayed there while visiting my daughter at UNI. I usually stay at another hotel but it was booked. When we first checked in to our room we noticed an odd smell but didn't think too much of it. Then we lifted up the toilet seat and found where it was coming from. Someone had used the toilet (and I... more

This was the only room in the area due to a local festival. We were charged a "discounted" rate of $99/night. What a rip! Hotel is undergoing room updates, but nothing can help the dated decor or room confirgurations. Key card door lock malfunctioned repeatedly. Bathroom light flickered each time a door was slammed in an adjoining room. Water pooled... more
