Front desk staff was incredible all during our stay! When we arrived we realized our truck wasn’t going to fit in the garage. They allowed us to park in front of the hotel. Also really appreciated the guest laundry machines as my husband is riding RAGBRAI. Walkable area with several restaurants nearby and we enjoyed martinis at the lounge. Great place to stay in downtown Waterloo!

The staff (particularly 2 ladies working the afternoon-evening shift) were extremely helpful in setting us up with handicapped parking for the 2 nights we were there. We had to unexpectedly cancel for 1 night, and they were also helpful in seeing this through for us. We were very happy with our stay.

The gal at the front desk was very pleasant and helpful. One elevator was not working and the other one was slow and in a hotel with 10 floors, there was a lot of waiting. Our room was nice and beds comfortable. Parking was little inconvenient- on the street or in the parking ramp. A long way to bring and take out luggage. The pool was small but our grandson enjoyed it!
