Blackhawk Hotel, Cedar Falls

We enjoyed our anniversary stay at the hotel. It had charming antique decor. The room was inviting & clean, with a very comfortable bed. The Romance package purchase was a lovely surprise! The staff was friendly & we felt at home. We also enjoyed the nearby shopping, restaurants, & lounges. It was all right there in walking distance. We will definitely return again & again!

We went to school in Cedar Falls, and on our occasional return trips, we've always wondered about the Blackhawk. Beginning with reservations, which we made by phone while looking at individual pictures of rooms, this was a great experience. The room was huge, the amenities were wonderfully surprising, and the decor is beautiful. We loved the huge bed and the choice of pillows, and the linens were to die for! The staff was approachable and willing to chat with pride about the hotel. I do wish that there was an elevator, but I guess the lack thereof is just a part of The Blackhawk's considerable charm.

This is a beautiful hotel completely restored, and is furnished with antiques in the rooms. Very luxurious; marble floors and tile, Jacuzzi tub, down comforters, and the beds are very comfortable. The rooms are clean, and well taken care of, and the staff and owners are wonderful and very accomodating. A nice touch is the "Stuffed Olive" bar, know for it's many flavors of martini's. A cozy setting with leather couches and chairs paired up to seat different parties of customers. A special touch to both the hotel and bar is the numerous works of art throughout. This is all in downtown Cedar Falls with many unique shops and restaurants within walking distance to choose from. I do plan on returning.

What a Superb location! Right down town by great restaurants and fun little places to shop. I was so pleased with the service and the cleanliness of this gorgeous hotel. At times I felt as if I were in a museum because of all of their beautiful antiques. I spent an hour just walking through the place, looking at all of their original art and collectibles. The room was fantastic, I had a wet bar and it even had heated marble floors in the spacious bathroom and a deluxe Jacuzzi tub. The breakfast was great as well. It was a wonderful breakfast buffet full of anything yummy and fresh that you could want. Not your usual cold cereal and stale muffin “motel” breakfast. WOW is all I can say! They even had fun vintage bicycles that you could take out for free and ride down the pretty trails by the river. I have to say, that this hotel was a vacation in itself. THANK YOU Blackhawk Hotel for accommodating me in every possible way, I will be back! :)

I stayed for 2 weeks in december on a business trip. The staff is friendly, the rooms (at least the ones I've seen) are ok, clean. If you like antiques it might be thrilling. Breakfast is lousy (like in most US hotels). What annoyed me most, was the fact, that I had to switch 2 times rooms within 10 days. The only explanation was "Other guest have reserved a specific room number". This was not only happen to me, but with at least 3 other guests at the same time.

We're from Cedar Falls, and when a family member from out of town asked for a "non-chain" place to stay, we set them up here. The hotel is over 100 years old, but it has been beautifully restored. Many of the furnishings are antique, and the decorating is style-appropriate. Each room is a little different from the rest. Those who appreciate antiques will definitely appreciate the care that must have gone into furnishing this hotel. However, they have not skimped on modern amenities. All of the rooms have a TV/DVD, hairdryer, wireless internet, etc. Some of the suites include jacuzzis! The hotel is located on Main Street in Cedar Falls, so there are lots of local restaurants and stores within walking distance. It's also close to the Cedar River as well as the extensive local recreational trail system.

The BlackHawk is a friendly little historic hotel (only about 30 rooms) offering all of the luxury amenities that the big-boys have plus the little touches that make it a place you want to come back to time and time again...A true home away from home! The prices listed by yahoo are incorrect though...Rooms range from about $65 to $165 depending on the room. All of the rooms are different. The hotel is located right in the middle of the downtown near the river, bike trails, restaurants and nightlife. A real blast form the past. They even have neat old bikes (cruisers) that you can take out for free!!
