Isle Casino Hotel - Waterloo - A Caesars Rewards Destination

10/10 Excellent

"This was an amazing trip for my family and I. We can’t wait to return!"

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Waterloo, IA

8/10 Good

"For the most part, went well. Except they failed to mention that the TV service didn’t work!! Kinda pissed about that 😠. And they need more handicap parking!!! Other than that it was alright. Would have liked some kind of discount for Not having TV service, but the people managing it are Very hard to understand,(English very poor)"

Hampton Inn Waterloo Cedar Valley

10/10 Excellent

"The location is a perfect for Restaurants,Shopping and easy access to downtown Waterloo.Waterpark is a 10 minute drive. This is our second year in a row at this property and will stay next year. Only complaint is both years the parking is under construction. Staff is incredibly Friendly and Love being there wich was refreshing to see.Rooms are clean ,Daily cleaning with new towels.Beds are very comfortable. Breakfast in the morning is fine and coffee is great.Thank You for everything,We will definitely Return."

Baymont by Wyndham Waterloo

8/10 Good

"Overall, not bad for the price. Nice staff. The property had some good upgrades but likely needs some more work. The room was clean enough for what we needed, but it did have pet hair on the comforter, which could have just been from someone cleaning the room who owned a pet. The bed was firm, but decent. The AC in room 219 made a squeaking fan sound all night. Breakfast was as expected, and it did include eggs and sausage when we went on 7/1/2026. The pool was open and clean, with colder-than-expected water. Just a note: if you need an elevator, this property does not have an elevator. Access to the upper section is via stairs at the end of the hall."
