We just loved our stay! It’s so comfortable and quiet here - and cool during the hot weather. The hotel is right on Main Street with all the restaurants and coffee shops and bars you need to be surrounded by Cedar Falls’ finest establishments.

As they tell you it is the second oldest continuously run hotel in the states. This means it's old. It also makes it unique in many ways. Loved the elevator music!
Cedar Falls is a great small town

Nice area, lots of restaurants, shopping, bars. Safe area, easy walking around town and by river. Hotel is historic so if you like historical buildings you will love it. No breakfast just packaged bakery items coffee. Comfortable lobby. Great bar very updated inside hotel keeping with historic feeling of hotel, great cocktails. Staff very helpful and friendly. Downside I would say the bathrooms are dated, rooms dated and carpets on stairs are worn. Could use updating.
