This is a beautiful and lovingly restored facility in every respect. It has been tastefully updated. It is in a great setting, right on Main Street Cedar Falls. The staff is excellent. The only minus is parking. Overlook that and book, it's a fabulous hotel with lots of character.

Excellent location in downtown Cedar Falls. Historic hotel full of charm. Bar Winslow has Steph, an amazing mixologist and front desk staff helpful and accomodating. $10 coupon for Bar Winslow presented at check in. Close to many restaurants and other attractions. Nice touch in the morning with pastries from Bambinos Bakery. Will stay at The Black Hawk every chance we get.

Shannon

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Staff was excellent, very friendly and very helpful. The room was as expected for a historical hotel, however the bed was very uncomfortable as well as the pillows. The thin walls allowed for every noise and conversation from my neighbors as well. Parking was off site as well as the gym. Location of the hotel was perfect, cute little town and walking distance to food. The town itself felt safe and quiet.
