Please update the site, including the outside picture, there is no hot top at this location. The breakfast was of rubber eggs, no bread goods, nothing was refilled and the milk was bad and had chunks in it. I understand that you may be short staffed. I have stayed at similar hotels in the same situation and still went above expectations.

Oh dear....... Think again about this one.
This motel is under rennovation/construction. I did see one comment mentioning this, but it was from early August and I thought it would be done. Nope! The parking area was full of dumpsters, stacks of building supplies, etc. as were the hallways inside. A complete mess. The workers were in the lobbby and I had to yell at the desk clerk (who was very helpful and friendly) in order to be heard. We were assigned a room which hadn't been cleaned yet. We were then assigned the room next door which was clean but the desk clerk had to remove some building materials. There were 2 refrigerators and one microwave in the room... none of which seemed to work. The new lamps were still wrapped in plastic and didn't have lightbulbs. The TV wasn't hooked up properly. We eventually figured it out. We had to go back to the front desk for cups and hand towels. I really don't think the staff had any idea what rooms were ready for guests, were still being worked on, etc. We booked this hotel because it had high ratings. I'm sure at one time it was just fine, and I'm hoping it will be again. but it's not now. Oh.. several people mentioned the lovely breakfast. No... it was awful. Dried up scrambled eggs.... only a few pieces of bread to make toast, etc. Plus -- the beds really WERE comfortable, as a few reviews mentioned. But really.... if you are looking for a hotel in Cedar Falls, Iowa... keep scrolling.

Construction
Was not made aware of major construction going on at hotel. Also room reserved was also no longer available due to the conversion in process and a lesser grade room was offered instead. Room did not have amenities book (I.e. refrigerator). I had booked the same hotel last May and it was prior to any construction without any issues.

It was under construction while we had our stay - but considering that is was very clean and comfortable - when construction is complete it will be very nice.

This was a complete fraud hotel. This hotel was not the one in the picture. It had mattresses debris, furniture tarps on the roof. It was dirty, and the vents in the room had so much dirt in them that it was blowing out through the vents. I need to be refunded for this terrible day.

Stayed for a week. Housekeeping removed our soap and cleaning supplies from the bathroom. Pillows are less and desirable and one on each bed was shredded foam in a pillowcase (too many washings?) Staff was not congenial. I always felt like we were a bother to them.

Hot room
So, we stayed during June which is A hot month, the air conditioning was barely working and we were so overheated . So we asked the front desk for help, They said sorry there's nothing we can do. So we had to go to target to buy 2 large box fans because it was so hot in there we couldn't sleep.
