Top Big Woods Lake Hotel Reviews

Comfort Suites Cedar Falls Industrial Park

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms were spacious and the beds amazingly comfortable. The check-in staff guy was very nice and friendly. Nice breakfast. The hot tub worked after hitting the button several times, but the water feature in the pool did not work, which bummed out my grandkids. But the pool itself was very nice."

"Mine friends and I have the best stay at Kelly’s place."

Cute tiny home with everything you need!

10/10 Excellent

"What a perfect place to stay for a getaway to see our son! This little home was very bright, clean, welcoming, and again just perfect! I don’t do travel food well and was thrilled to be able to prepare our own meals and have all I needed in kitchen supplies. Nathan, the owner, was quick to respond to any questions we had which was comforting. We had our own driveway to park off the street and extra parking for our son when he came to visit. I’m hoping this same home will be available when we come to see our son again. We spent one day traveling to Dyersville IA to see the film location of the movie Field of Dreams. It’s only about 100 miles away & was well worth the day trip.Good job Nathan!!!"
