Room was clean; it is a historic hotel so furnishings are antique including a squeaky bed frame. I have a gluten allergy; they don’t offer any gluten free breakfast items. Cup of Joe across the street had items I could purchase for breakfast.

8/10 Very good

We like to support local businesses, so we elected to stay here. However the parking situation is atrocious. The room was clean however all the drains need a good cleaning, bathtub took 15 minutes to drain. The floors slant on the second floor hallway. Bring your own pillow.

Black Hawk Hotel Cedar Falls Iowa

The Black Hawk Hotel is older, but kept clean comfortable and safe. Unlike some other hotels the Black Hawk did not charge an incidentals amount on my card at check in only to return it later, I appreciated this. The only dissapointment is there is no onsite parking, we got a map showing 24 hour street parking. The closest being a block away.

I’ve stayed at the Blackhawk several times and it never disappoints. Love the historical hotel and a great location. Excellent service great lounge. Would highly recommend staying here.
