"This place is so charming! We really enjoyed our time here. The country is so quiet, it was the get-away we needed. The church is so spacious and oh so beautiful and our hosts were so hospitable. Quick access to the amenities of Downtown Cedar Falls with all the perks of a quiet country retreat. Hoping to book more stays here in the near future."

Top Independence Hotel Reviews

Best Western Plus Waterloo & Cedar Falls

Best Western Plus Waterloo & Cedar Falls

10/10 Excellent
"I will start with the one negative which isn't on the hotel staff... the parking is no longer free and I suggested the appropriate person update listings on third party sites. City has taken ownership of the parking garage and no longer will allow hotel to validate. Parking, first hour free... 24 hours, $6. Not terrible but you can't go in and out freely... pun intended! Street parking free, 4pm-9am. However, there is a skywalk to the hotel, which satisfied me given I woke up to a storm and appreciated loading car dry. (Parking garage is across the street.) Staff are wonderful! I couldn't get in my room and when I shared the light was red and stayed red, she knew it was the battery and gladly changed it immediately. My room was very nice, well stocked and incredibly clean. Breakfast was hot scrambled eggs, bacon with options for make your own waffles OR pancakes. Dry cereal, dairy milk and almond milk. Sliced white bread, bagels and muffins. Fresh apples, fruit cup, applesauce and hard boiled eggs (chilled). Coffee, tea, juices, water. Ample seating. There is also a skywalk to the convention center, also across the street. John Deere Tractor & Engine Museum few minutes away. There is a restaurant next door, menu at front desk. I glanced at it and It seemed nice with reasonable prices. I ate at Starbeck's next too museum, which was very good. I would stay here again, without hesitation."
