Hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was on the 4th floor and was very clean. All in all it was a good hotel for a day or two. I would stay here again and would recommend it to friends.

We stayed here on a Saturday night for my daughter's pageant at the nearby convention center. The location is the only decent thing about this place. I paid $125 to stay in a suite and had to park on the street as there wasn't enough room in the parking lot. As the crabby lady behind the counter told us, "Well,... More

Staff was helpful. Rooms were older and not cheery. Faucet and heater were very worn. The parking lot can not hold all the vehicles on a mostly booked night and you would be parking on the street and paying the meter. Mattress was old and saggy. Would not stay there again.

This hotel in is located in Downtown Waterloo, Iowa and has a great location. Staff was excellent, room was clean, an breakfast buffet was typical for Quality Inn. The hotel could use a renovation as the condition and decor is dated and tired. i still would consider staying there again if I need to be in Waterloo.

From the outside, this place looked pretty good. And the lobby seemed nice, too. But when we got off the elevator on the second floor, we had been transported into a 1950's dorm. The hallways were very dark. The room was large and the bed fairly comfortable, but depressingly drab. The high point was the very fast elevator. The breakfast... More

I arrived late, but was treated well. I decided on the king bed/jaccuzzi tub suite. The rooms were huge. The furniture was a little old. However the mattress was great. Breakfast was the usual but fresh and hot. The down side is that this hotel still has smoking rooms so the smell permeates everything

I generally don't expect too much when I book a Quality Inn, and this hotel did not exceed my expectations. The room was OK, but the decor was a bit worn. It did have a fridge and microwave, but it definitely could have used some updating. The lobby area was small and not very attractive. Only one of the two... More

We took a long weekend and upon arrival the smell was awful. All the carpets were stained and the "suites" were filthy as well. The beds were dirty and the comforters were stained. We stayed for 10 minutes as we had children with us and I could not have them stay. They would not let us back out of the... More

I booked this hotel for business and three other colleagues. My room had random stains on the comforter, and even though it was a "non-smoking" room, it was definitely a smoking room at some point, because it smelled strongly of cigarette smoke. It was July and my air conditioner didn't work. My colleague must have ended up in an accessible... More

We stayed here on 7-6-2012 while on a 2 week motorcycle trip. That day it was 101 in Waterloo and we were on the 5th floor. We turned on our air conditioner (the room was sweltering upon arrival) and filled the whirlpool tub with cool water. The jets in the tub did not function, but did make a tremendous noise.... More
