Top Waterloo Convention Center Hotel Reviews

Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham Waterloo

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean and staff was helpful and friendly. Breakfast was great too!"

Isle Casino Hotel - Waterloo - A Caesars Rewards Destination

8/10 Good

"The location was prefect as we were visiting the Lost Island Parks. Walking in the hotel smells like cigarettes and chlorine. The pool area was nice. We ate at Brew Brothers and Yummy. Both were good. Our room (704) was really dusty, but served its purpose. Our second room (703) smelled like ozone, so we tried to air it out for a while. The shower had shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. The sink had a soap bar. That was it. You get a free regular coffee at the café, or $2 off a specialty coffee. There was a mini fridge in the room and s microwave down the hall."

Best Western Plus Waterloo & Cedar Falls

10/10 Excellent

"The staff (particularly 2 ladies working the afternoon-evening shift) were extremely helpful in setting us up with handicapped parking for the 2 nights we were there. We had to unexpectedly cancel for 1 night, and they were also helpful in seeing this through for us. We were very happy with our stay."

Motel 6 Waterloo, IA

10/10 Excellent

"Is not a top of the line facility by any stretch, but the staff is very attentive and friendly, the rooms were clean regardless of age, the pool was clean and very refreshing, and it got the job done for our stay. I have zero complaints and would gladly stay here again. The price is right, and it far exceeded my expectations for the price. Dont be scared. I have stayed at both motel 6’s in waterloo and this one is MUCH better than the one on San Marnan. I would skip that one for sure!!"
