Staff was great and hotel was quaint and unique. Only complaint was the tv set up - weird stations and the movies were a bit temperamental with starting over or remote issues. But not a huge issue. Just letting someone know.

Very classic hotel with neat original wood and metal work. Very quiet with heavy doors and thick walls. No detail was left out. Engaging staff at the front desk and in the Bar Winslow. There were lots of fun shops and eateries surrounding it and even a brewery right across the street. I can't wait to go back again!

A beautiful and well curated hotel, yet still accessible and comfortable. The one minor inconvenience was parking, but we found spots within a block of the hotel. Lots going on in this area, we walked to dinner both nights and ate well!

Our room was great as usual and we enjoyed the craft cocktail at the bar. Continental breakfast with pastries from the bakery next door was irresistible! We will continue to make the Black Hawk Hotel our home away from home whenever we come to Cedar Falls.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 night stay in this charming, comfortable historic hotel. Staff accommodated our early check-in request. Loved the location on Main St. with many walkable good food options, as well as shopping, the river, parks, and trails. The hotel vibe was very chill and relaxing. Breakfast was minimal, but enough for a nice start. Loved hanging out in the lobby, including with our drinks from the Winslow Bar, for which we used our $10 hotel coupon. We were well pleased the hotel met our expectations.

This place was wonderful! We stayed two nights and loved it. The breakfast is pretty basic and there is no parking on-site which makes loading and unloading a bit difficult. But great location and cool building. The bar is fun as well.
