Guest Reviews: Friendly Staff

“Beautiful old hotel. The staff is amazingly friendly and helpful. They went over the top for our group to make sure we had everything needed for our event there. The rooms are large and beautifully appointed. Most of the furniture are beatiful old antiques that add a lot of charm. Our rooms for the group on the third floor had wonderful Jacuzzi tubs. So pleased with the stay, can’t wait to come back!”

Guest Reviews: Great Location

“We have stayed at this hotel a couple times over the past 6 years; it is always a great experience. The hotel is rich in history, at a great location for checking out other local spots on main street, and it is always very clean. The new management has an incredible focus on customer service and the experience at the hotel, which makes the stay even better.”

Guest Reviews: Best Experience

⋆⋆⋆⋆⋆

“I have lived in Cedar Falls all my life, and stayed here on my wedding night. This hotel is hands-down the BEST hotel to stay at. You will get an experience you cannot get at any chain hotel. The Black Hawk Hotel is an amazing historic hotel located right downtown Cedar Falls. Getting in our room was easy. We had a smooth check-in and check-out process. Our room had amazing details such as heart of flower petals and hand written note from the manager congratulating us. We recommend everybody we know coming to CF to stay at The Black Hawk Hotel. It’s a place you can never forget.”
