Hawkeye Vacations from $699

Nice quantity room... breakfast was alright, the pool was small.. but people were very nice and kind.

Like the casinos in Vegas, the forst thing I smelled was cigarettes upon walking into the building. Our room, although listed as a better king size room, would not pass muster at a Wyndham hotel, for example. Further, as our stay unfolded, the more we saw: no linens in the bathroom, and only body towels when we asked the desk. No outlets except at the desk. Someone had placed a plastic baggie over the smoke alarm, undoubtedly to smoke in the room, a story corroborated by a mysterious hole in the top sheet. The drapes were clearly off their track and sagged some. The corners of the shower definitely had mold, and the fan had no switch to operate it. These things happen, but when so many are present and clearly not corrected, it implies neglect. The staff was always polite and helpful. Air conditioning was perfect. Ice machine worked, and there's vending on each floor, and even a microwave (not one in your room,btw), but again, neglect: I saw the same food stains on the little table where it was the whole stay; empty packet of ramen added by the time we left. Parking is reasonable and well-lit and the mattress was comfy. We only went to the Yummy restaurant once, for a slice of pie before bed as a treat. Staff was great again, but the pie was clearly not homemade (but also not bad at all), but for the price and at a Caesar's property, I expected a step up in quality. We did not use the casino.

This hotel is great. Very roomy. Comfy bed. We walked to the cute downtown area for dinner.

Cedar Falls is a surprisingly robust community and the Blackhawk Hotel is a hidden gem! The staff is engaging and generous and go the extra mile to make sure you’re taken care of and heard. This is an historic inn, so the premises are burnished with years of use, which I think just adds to its charm. Main Street is dotted with several unique eating, drinking and shopping establishments and our nightcap at the Bar Winslow in the hotel was the perfect spot for our too-short stay in Cedar Falls.

Clean, good water pressure for the shower, air conditioning worked well! Pet friendly!
