Our room was clean and the bed was great. It was really quiet. We had a great stay. I would give it 5 stars but I was disappointed in the breakfast. No bacon or sausage. I would stay there again.

The staff is always nice at check in and I go often and se familiar faces and it’s my first choice coming to Waterloo. No it’s not the ritz but it’s bug free and clean and the staff is nice to me when I visit and I visit often and if there’s not a room available and I have to go elsewhere the staff is helpful finding something else but it’s my first choice when I visit Waterloo

Clean and easy

Polite man at the desk and quick easy checkin ! Room was as expected ! Felt safe also.
Laura, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

A place where when you have nothing allows for cheap and affordable place to stay even at your lowest, for that I'm most appreciated of this Hotel and it's staff. Though lacking in some areas if you have no where else to go this is a warm and safe if in doors to be for an relatively cheap and fair price
Marcel, 3-night trip

Friendlyand professional staff.
mike, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

I like how no one was in my business. It was quiet and in a way felt secluded from the rest of the hotel (in a good way).
Jacob, 1-night trip

Curstyan, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Very nice staff

Hotel is old and the clientele is sketchy, but the hotel staff was extremely nice and accommodating. The hotel allows smoking so our room smelled like smoke.
morgan, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

The person running behind the front desk was awesome. Loved that they upgraded me to a 2 room suite because they ran out of rooms that I had booked. No charge for that. Breakfast was ok. Need a few more choices. Room was great.
Salina, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Excellent room and staff. Vending machine had problem. But staff helped. Room was spacious with large TV with good amount of channels. Locality was not great, with limited vegetarian restaurants nearby.
Swanand, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Noisy. Motorcycles racing back and forth under our window afternoon and night. Tub was open to the sleeping area rather than the bathroom. No closet or hanging space. Bed was comfy. Breakfast included waffles and biscuits with sausage and gravy.
Nancy, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Wasn't the cleanest room. Service for towels and other amenities was decent. Had to plug up and/or set, clock and lamps.
Leon, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The elevator sounded like it would break down at any minute, the hallways smelled like marijuana. We were even on no smoking floor. It was so noisy outside with emergency vehicles, motorcycles, drunk people it made it hard to sleep. There were cigarette holes in the bedding. Bad neighborhood. Felt very unsafe, almost didn't stay. My son said the breakfast was good- cereal and waffles.
