We stayed at this hotel for a family reunion. When I made the reservation, I requested an adjoining room to another family member and received written confirmation of that reservation. (This was quite important to me, as I have young children who go to bed early. The adjoining room gives us somewhere to go while they sleep.) Upon arrival, the... more

I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights in early Oct 09. I was speaking at an event in the conference center across the street. The hotel is a standard 3 star property , though my 10th floor room had a large jacuzzi in it (not in the bathroom - in the room). Room was clean, bed was fine, tv... more

Great place for dog people. Only place to stay that lets you leave your dog alone in the room. No ? asked!! more

This hotel accepts dogs and that is why we chose it. The location is in walking distance to many food establishments. We got a pizza from Doughy Joey's and it was very good! I really have nothing bad to say about this hotel. more

Our rooms were on the 9th floor and they all had been recently redecorated also the hallway had been redecorated. The staff was helpful and the free breakfast was good. You also recieve free parking in the Convention Center parking garage which you... more

We had booked the room as part of a wedding party with the wedding rate. Upon arrival the service was great, we were given a nice room, and rollaway. The beds were a little small, but they... more

I have stayed at this Ramada two times during the past 4 months and have never had any major problems. It's your basic hotel, nothing special but nothing terrible. During my most recent visit it appears as if they were remodoling at least one floor of rooms. The staff is average. Not overly friendly, but not rude. Housekeeping during my... more

We stayed at the Ramada for one night (Saturday) through a wedding block. What drew us to make this choice was we were travelling with 2 dogs - and they allow pets in any room (not just smoking rooms, which was our other option at other hotels.) This is the one positive point I can say about the hotel. It... more

Hotels in eastern Iowa are busy these days with flood victims, construction workers and other restoration people. Well, this Ramada in Waterloo was not and there were many reasons. This place is very tired, out-dated and in bad condition. The lobby, the hallways and the public places are all in poor shape. The rooms were actually ok but housekeeping could... more
