"We stayed at The Black Hawk with our dog. Staff was very receptive and welcoming. The hotel bar is quaint. The location is ideal with many shops and restaurants within walking distance."

"The room was very clean. Food was great. Would stay again. "

"The owner has been a very nice gentleman, we been using this hotel for years now."

"First off, I have been coming to Urbana Inn & Suites 3 or 4 times a year for the last several years. I have always enjoyed coming from Chicago to enjoy the superb service I get here. It's always for two nights. The first night my daughter and granddaughter stay with me and we enjoy the pool. This will be the last time I stay here. Let me list the reasons why. 1. Walking into the room we were smacked in the face with the smell of mold. 2. The air conditioner was so congested that it barely was blowing air out. I had to take the one filter out and wash the massive amounts of dust on it and the second filter was missing. 3. The pillows smelled like greasy hair. 4. We went to the pool and the space where the vending machines are smelled like something died in the garbage can. 5. In the pool area itself the lights were off. I had to turn them on. 6. The garbage can in the pool area smelled just like the one by the vending machines. 7. There were no towels in the pool area. 8. Breakfast was horrible. Nothing that was usually there was there. It was waffles and some other food but not a variety of anything. 9. We asked to used the breakfast room to play some card games and was met with a feeling like we were bothering the desk person. 10. There was blood on the air conditioner. 11. Broken legs under both beds. 12. The hair dryer was clogged with dust. 13. The shower head is full of mold. 14. The place where the garbage can was in the room was filthy on the wal"

"This hotel was perfect for 2 of us that came to town for an event at UNI (3 minute drive/20 minute walk for reference). The price was right, the exterior is nice & well kept, and the interior was consistent with that. Overall very clean, pleasant staff including the housekeepers we met in the elevator. Another review mentioned noise from the highway, but we did not find this to be a problem. (We were on the highway side too). Water pressure in the shower is great, there were plenty of towels (bonus points for that - usually hotels just give the bare minimum), and there was a hair dryer! Beds are OK - more on the firm side, but I slept fine. When choosing a hotel I'm always looking for a pool/hot tub and continental breakfast & this had both. The pool is a little smaller than the pictures, but that's OK. It was full of kids the few times we checked - all the way up to 10pm, so we did not take advantage of the pool area. I know this is relatively out of control of the hotel, but a suggestion I would offer would be "adult only" swim time from 10pm-12am. Lastly, the breakfast was a little underwhelming. There appeared to be only 1 person staffing everything - from making more eggs, to cleaning up tables, to refilling silverware. He was definitely overwhelmed, and nothing got refilled while we were there. I made a waffle, ate it with a spoon, and called it good. It was not a make or break for our stay, and all around we really enjoyed our stay here. We will definitely be back!"

"The staff was wonderful, kind and helpful! The bathroom in our room was not very clean unfortunately and had a lot of hair around the shower, but all in all not too bad."

"The fan in our room was extremely loud and rattled and the toilet took forever to fill up"

"Good staff"

"We were in Cedar Falls for the AAU Iowa State Championship meet. The breakfast didnt have any breakfast style eggs (hard boiled only) no waffles. The hotel states the rooms are sound proofed, but they arent! kids were running up and down the halls at least until 11ish pm, when we had to be up and checked out by 645 am"
