Front desk female was slow but helpful, when my college age daughters checked in later as planned the male at the front desk male couldn't be bothered to give them a key said ``go knock on her door``. Coffee is pretty bad, would prefer to not have breakfast is the cost could be lower. When we got up about 7 am, our one key no longer worked. Beds were fine, it was a very affordable price at convenient location McDonalds, Taco John's , Walmart, Menards, Aldi, Goodwill and Savers! Would stay there again

I really like the area Bolder's is located. I'm relocating to Waterloo for work & used this hotel while I searched for housing. The staff at check-in was friendly, the room was clean, the bed was comfortable and property offers free parking. This location is just off the interstate & the noise of traffic/trucks going by was no issue. They offered coffee, breakfast & WiFi. Would stay here again.

I’m pretty sure there was some type of blood or sauce on the fitted sheet. Same with the shower curtain. Our microwave in our room ran, but didn’t warm anything. The hallways smelled. Thankfully our room didn’t smell. There were signs everywhere. Almost too many. I’m not sure why only one of the front doors were supposed to be used.

I'm no snob when it comes to budget hotels but I was very disappointed in this hotel. The building and rooms are in need of routine maintenance and basic repair. The elevator needs paint, wood trim was falling off walls, the sheets and pillow cases were stained, the smoke detector was beeping (needed a new battery), and the remote control to TV was missing. The first room I was given was so bad, I requested a different one (I never do that!).
