“What a magnificent place you have created.
Thank you for your hospitality”

- Yo Yo Ma, internationally-known cellist.

Hi there. I have been meaning to comment and tell you how much I appreciated your staff when my husband and I stayed there almost a year ago. We only stayed for a one night but we loved our stay. On top of it we had forgotten an item at the hotel and the staff was so nice to call me and let me know and then mail it to me. If it was anywhere else I believe they would of kept the items or thrown them away. Thanks again and we hope to stay sometime soon.

I am writing to let you know that I had some "high-five" compliments for your front desk staff who took reservations for our folks coming in from California for Christmas.

My relatives, who live in Palm Springs, booked third floor suites at the Black Hawk and they love staying with you when they come home to Cedar Falls.

They were most impressed with the customer service they received while making reservations and my sister-in-law wanted me to pass their compliments along to you.

Please pass along this "thumbs-up" to your staff!

A great big thank you to all of your staff for the many kind things that you did for our guests. They are thoroughly impressed and can't stop talking about how nice you all were and the personal touches that you added to our stay. They love Iowa now.

I know I will recommend your hotel to everyone that I can.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING IT NICE FOR EVERYONE. I LOVED THE LOFT A.

See you again I'm sure.

When I was sent to Cedar Falls on business, having never been there before and trying to make my own accommodation arrangements, I reserved myself a room at another franchised hotel in town. Usually a safe bet. But upon my arrival, my heart sank. My room was below cleanliness standards and fell far from making me feel safe and secure. I may sound a little like a diva here, but nothing could be further from the truth. (Growing up in a small town and being a girl scout all my childhood years should attest to my ability to rough it.) I came to know about the Black Hawk through a city guide found in my room at this hotel, reserved a room, immediately checked out of the first hotel and into yours. I could not have been more pleased. I loved picking out my room from the pictures online, I loved the martini/sushi bar downstairs, I loved my bathroom, I loved the service, I could go on all day, the whole place was just great. I can't thank you enough for providing a safe, clean, and BEAUTIFUL place for me to lay my head.  I will be back. 

"Just a note to let you know how much we enjoyed our stay in Cedar Falls. We could not have asked for a better experience, from your great hotel, a wonderful suite, outstanding service, to everything we enjoyed on Main Street. It was a perfect first trip as a couple, and we plan to return. Plus, we're telling all our friends on you! Thanks!"

“ Our family and friends stayed at the hotel and were incredibly impressed with the level of service and quality provided at the Black Hawk Hotel. Our wedding party and family members couldn’t stop describing the Black Hawk as a ‘wonderful’ ‘cool’ ‘hip’ place ‘surprisingly’ located in ‘a small town.’ The hotel and your staff are true gems! “
