Historic property downtown. A lot of dining options all within four blocks. The staff was very friendly and informative. Gave some history on the hotel and also the surrounding area. They also provided a key fob to a gym just two blocks away. Breakfast was limited, but we don't normally rely on a hotel breakfast. The hotel bar had delightful craft cocktails! Overall the place is very well taken care of. We will stay again!

The Black Hawk Hotel is a favorite of mine. Beautiful rooms with modern bathrooms. And the location on Main Street places you in the midst of a great selection of restaurants and pubs. I will definitely be back when my travels take me back to Cedar Falls.
