Top Waterloo Convention Center Hotel Reviews

Isle Casino Hotel - Waterloo - A Caesars Rewards Destination

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel and Brew Brothers restaurant on site was wonderful. We would have stayed a 2nd night if they hadn't been sold out. Front desk staff were very friendly. Hotel is close to Lost Island as well."

Courtyard by Marriott Waterloo Cedar Falls

8/10 Good

"I love staying here, and always do when in Waterloo, but this time it really sucked when a chorus of mowing/leaf blowing started at 6:30 a.m. I was 5 floors up and it still managed to cut through my earplugs, waking me well before I wanted to get up and still going strong when I left my room at 9 a.m.. It would be cool in the future if the football field's worth of grass was maybe mowed later in the day, especially on behalf of your guests for whom 6:30 feels more like 4:30."

Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham Waterloo

8/10 Good

"When we checked in at 8:00pm there was a line at the check in/registration desk with only one employee at the front desk. We waited approx 30 minutes to check in. The employee was doing a great job but needed assistance. I assume management knew they were going to be crazy busy since the hotel was fully booked/sold out for the night. (Whole Waterloo area was sold out due to 3 large events in town). She did well to keep calm & provided excellent service."
