We have stayed at this hotel several times and have been happy every single time!! The rooms are very nice. The beds are very comfy and it's in the perfect location! There are many different kinds of restaurants and shops that you can walk too. The staff is always courteous. One time I dropped an earring down the sink and... More

Absolutely loved our stay. It was a pleasure to talk to the staff and loved the ambiance and character of the hotel. Did not expect to experience such a wonderful night since the main purpose of our stay was to move my daughter out of a dorm and into an apartment. Loved that we could park the car and walk... More

We stay at the Black Hawk every time we have an occasion to visit our daughter in college, just a few minutes' drive away. The rooms are comfortable, clean and quiet, the colors and decor soothing -- the right mix of old and new. This time another daughter and her friend were along -- they especially liked the massage chair,... More

We traveled from Des Moines to Cedar Falls to celebrate a birthday. The Blackhawk proved to be an outstanding choice for a hotel. The room was quiet and comfortable. The bed was just right. the room was decorated in what I would call "Late 50's Cool". It was very carefully thought out as a theme. The artwork was entertaining. The... More

This hotel is smack dab in the best location... More

Everything was top-notch, from securing the reservation to checking out after a wonderful night's sleep in a lovely room. If you plan to be in Cedar Falls overnight, do yourself a favor and just stay there. Even if you don't normally go for historic experiences, don't miss this one. It's terrific! :-D

This was probably the 5th time we have stayed at the Blackhawk, We have been in both the main hotel and the motor lodge and love both. The rooms are very well appointed and the staff is very helpful and friendly. Attached to the hotel is the Stuffed Olive, an excellent sushi/martini bar. Within a block or two are quite... More

Agree with all the other reviews--incredibly charming, throwback-type of hotel with wonderful rooms. Don't stay on the first floor...the rooms are completely unlike the upper level rooms in that they have no character and are quite boring. Agree with others in the martini bar and tapas/deli restaurant attached to this place. I will take it a step further and encourage... More
