Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Cedar Falls, IA

.

This hotel was perfect for 2 of us that came to town for an event at UNI (3 minute drive/20 minute walk for reference). The price was right, the exterior is nice & well kept, and the interior was consistent with that. Overall very clean, pleasant staff including the housekeepers we met in the elevator. Another review mentioned noise from the highway, but we did not find this to be a problem. (We were on the highway side too). Water pressure in the shower is great, there were plenty of towels (bonus points for that - usually hotels just give the bare minimum), and there was a hair dryer! Beds are OK - more on the firm side, but I slept fine. When choosing a hotel I'm always looking for a pool/hot tub and continental breakfast & this had both. The pool is a little smaller than the pictures, but that's OK. It was full of kids the few times we checked - all the way up to 10pm, so we did not take advantage of the pool area. I know this is relatively out of control of the hotel, but a suggestion I would offer would be "adult only" swim time from 10pm-12am. Lastly, the breakfast was a little underwhelming. There appeared to be only 1 person staffing everything - from making more eggs, to cleaning up tables, to refilling silverware. He was definitely overwhelmed, and nothing got refilled while we were there. I made a waffle, ate it with a spoon, and called it good. It was not a make or break for our stay, and all around we really enjoyed our stay here. We will definitely be back!

The beds were comfortable.

Upon arrival, the desk staff was helpful and informative. Gave clear instructions where the elevator and room were located. Room was clean, organized and modern. Very well managed. Parking was exceptional. Bike and walking path are right off the parking lot. Breakfast Iwas well supplied and serving area clean and organized.
