Motel 6-Waterloo, IA - Crossroads Mall - Cedar Falls

Don’t stay here. When we arrived the parking lot was filled with people loitering around and had a sketchy feel to it. We got to the room and it was not terrible, not the best but we soon realized that the door did not lock at all. The only good thing was that the front desk person was kind enough to offer an upgraded room, but we settled on leaving instead because it felt super sketchy.

I didn't like the fact that they allow others besides housekeeping to come into your room

Nothing

Everything

There was a king size bed. Only thing good about the room.

The door was so lose at the jam you could literally push is in and put your finger in to push open the lock. I had to prop a chair against the door to make it look closed. The toilet and a leak and every half hour it would make a loud squelching noise as the bowl would refill. I waited forever for a staff member to acknowledge I was there to check in. The room had been cleaned but not very well. There was dried gum on top of the end table and there were crumbs between the sheets so they were obviously not changed so I slept on top of everything. There was a party downstairs and they had medican music blaring until 1AM

Do not stay here. So many issues I don’t know where to start. There was NO shower curtain. One towel. Well, 1 washcloth, 1 hand towel, and 1 shower towel. Pool is closed. Greeted by a man smoking a clove at the front door in pajamas. Several people just hanging around the entrance, most looked homeless and/or on drugs. No elevator, we were on the second floor. I was walking barefoot in the room and leaving clean spots behind. Gum washed into the sheet. Blood splatter on the ceiling!!! Room is bogged out with smoke( not just cigarette smoke)and my two children were with me. The entire floor was nonsmoking but as we left it was like walking through fog down the hall. I bet I could get any number of drugs, or a hooker if I had knocked on some doors. I had a very foul smelling man follow me out down the hall when I went to get something from my car. The tub was a mess with scrapes. Food on the comforter. Mascara on the pillow case. Long brown hair on the washcloth. (We are blondes) A crucifix left on the top of the headboard. The remote only had one battery. The internet was spotty at best. My husband was with us but he can’t do anything against a gun or a shooting in the next room and a stray bullet hitting one of my children. I apologize if this is a bit all over the place, I just keep remembering more. This was an awful experience and my family and I have made light of it BUT REALLY, do not book there. We left after an hour. I did not feel my family was safe at all.

When we showed up there was guys drinking in the parking lot, there were people in a car smoking weed, and on the other side of the building too. Took a while to get the lady to come to check us in I think she was outside. The room was non smoking but smelled like someone was smoking in jt for a long time. The fridge was really working, and floor was covered in dust and dirt, there was dust bunnies all along the popcorn ceiling. We immediately left and got a new hotel. Bc my wife didn’t feel safe.

When we first arrived at the hotel our rooms door is broken, the room smelled of stale alcohol, dead bugs were on the floors. We then were told that despite the website saying there was free breakfast, a pool, and free wifi. They didn't have ANY of those things. The pool was completely drained of water. When we asked for extra pillows and soap. They said they were out of both. And around midnight while we were sleeping a man opened our door stating there must have been a mix up in the system and then left. We will NOT be staying again.
