Charming and nostalgic!

It's a vibe! Even before you walk in, you travel back in time. When we ooened the door, we were greeted with the sounds of the jazz band. Many guests and Cedar Falls folks were quietly enjoying the music in the lobby and bar rooms. Oh, and please keep the voucher system for breakfast! We thoroughly enjoyed the small businesses that served breakfast. We will definitely be back!!

Great historic hotel

An old historic hotel that has been updated but still has that classic old vibe. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. Room was spacious and decorated nicely. Bathroom was smaller but updated with a large tiled shower. Located on Main Street so location is great.
