“Very nice, continuing to improve and reasonably priced”

Reviewed 26 April 2013

I have stayed at the Clarion Inn University in Cedar Falls, Iowa a number of times. I shifted there from some other hotels as I find this hotel to be of higher quality and reasonably priced. The rooms are always clean, the staff friendly and the overall environment is improving as it was somewhat dated, but getting better all the... More

“Great place for meetings”

Reviewed 22 March 2013

We held our Artists' PAWS for a Cause fundraiser here in October 2012. They did a wonderful job accomodating us with an overflow crowd. Everyone enjoyed the food and drinks. This year will be even better for them with new renovations including a new restaurant "Against the Grain". Check it out when you have a chance.

“Small Musty Room”

Reviewed 11 March 2013

Recently booked this hotel online and was unpleasantly surprized by this hotel. Our room was extremely small. We requested a crib for our baby, but there was nowhere in the room to put it. The decor was very dated and the room didn't smell clean. To top it off, we were awakened by a malfunctioning fire alarm going off.

I apologize that you had an unpleasant stay with us. We strive to make all guests happy and comfortable and are disappointed when that doesn't happen. I have passed your concerns to our housekeeping staff so we can take care of any musty smell in the room. I'm so sorry the alarm system malfunctioned during your visit; the problem has... More

“Overwhelming chlorine stench!”

Reviewed 27 February 2013

The rooms are centered around an indoor pool. If the smell of way too much chlorine is what you like then this is the place for you! It was nauseating. There is no elevator, which is do-able if you packed light. I was there with a soccer group so I had no choice in where we logded. On the weekends... More

“Good Effort but Very Tired”

Reviewed 4 February 2013

This hotel was VERY dated...old stained walls, old carpet, old smell. Updates have been attempted but not enough to make a better impression for me. Very conveniently located and reasonably priced but if you are looking for a newer type hotel with a little more charm dont stay here.

Thank you for taking the time to review our hotel. We are currently working on updating and remodeling our property and was glad to hear you did see some effort! So far we have added flat screen TV's, new sheets, duvets, curtains and marble counter tops to the guest rooms. We've remodeled our lounge, Against the Grain and now have... More
