Deborah, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
Ruth, 1-night trip

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.
Daniel, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Sadie, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very impressed with accommodations and unique aspects of the space. Great deal, will stay again and highly recommend to others.
Eric, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lovely location

The hotel is beautiful and rooms are spacious! I loved the historic element to our stay, and the staff was very friendly and helpful throughout our visit. A downside is that there is no longer any onsite parking, so it might be difficult for guests with mobility issues to be accommodated as some short walking will be required. Also, the breakfast accommodations were not very good - both days, different products, but horribly dry and not very appetizing. (They must have changed vendors as this was not the case in the past. Had to go find alternatives at a cost.) However, I will most likely still return.
Kathryn, 2-night trip

Loved Our Stay

ALL OF THE STAFF at the Black Hawk are BEYOND Kind & Welcoming. We loved staying here 3 nights as we provided support to our fam on Ragbrai. We switched rooms and both were terrific. Spacious and clean with a lot of eclectic antiques throughout the hotel. Bartender at Cocktail lounge makes some great drinks and is also SUPER NICE. Great location with lots of restaurant options / bars.
Christina, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The room was great very nicely decorated. Max at the front desk was easy to talk to and had a passion for the hotel rarely seen in a place. Would recommend stays to friends and family.
