The hotel buildings part of the former John Deere plant and retains some of that charm. It feels vast and open inside. The room was excellent. It was well designed, roomy and clean.

There is a restaurant on site which was very good as well.

Room was clean and staff were amazing. The bed was amazing and didnt hear a bump all night from other people staying at the hotel. If I could only change one things that would be to fix the ice machine on the 3rd floor. I had to go up to the 5th floor for ice. But if that was my only problem I had a good night!

Upon check in, we were told right away that one set of elevators weren’t working and the pool was closed. Once we got to our suite, we did not have the extra bedding for the sofa bed. Called down and told them, they said they’d bring it up. Called about 10 min later to also ask for more towels, was told it would be awhile. They never brought it up. When we went down to the desk, there were several others asking for towels and the one we got was the only one we’d get as the woman working said “ that’s all you’re getting because I just got here and I’m not doing laundry”. I get you’re busy, but really? Besides that, our room was nice, clean and spacious. Hoping next time we get better costumer service.

I love staying here, and always do when in Waterloo, but this time it really sucked when a chorus of mowing/leaf blowing started at 6:30 a.m. I was 5 floors up and it still managed to cut through my earplugs, waking me well before I wanted to get up and still going strong when I left my room at 9 a.m.. It would be cool in the future if the football field's worth of grass was maybe mowed later in the day, especially on behalf of your guests for whom 6:30 feels more like 4:30.

I stay at this location frequently when I come home to visit. However, my recent four day stay was unacceptable. My sink wouldn't drain, the a/c wasn't working well. I asked to have my sheets changed after day three and they were never changed and my room didn't get fresh towels after requesting all the above with the front desk. My toilet lid was extremley loose. The front desk clerk (middle age female) was very nice and mentioned she would give me some Marriott rewards, although I didn't see them applied.

I've stayed at this hotel many times and normally have a great stay. This was my first time having poor service. The a/c wasn't working the first two of my three day stay, my room was 77 degrees. I informed the front desk clerk (younger female) of the issue along with a stool cover being extremely loose, Ice maker on 3rd floor not working, needing extra towels, and sheets replaced on my third day of stay.

I had to inquire three times before the more mature desk clerk was able resolve my a/c issue and provide additional towels. The other items were never resolved.

Wouldn't do that again if you paid me

I've stayed at several hotels over the last 30 years, in several different US states and other countries and this was by far, one of the worst stays I've had. The walls are paper thin. We could hear our neighbor unzipping their luggage as if they were in the room next to us. We could hear people walking up and down the halls, talking, coughing. It was like we were all in the same room. There's no air flow so you'll need to get a fan or it's super stuffy. No exhaust fan in the bathroom so depending on the temperature of your room and your shower, there could be quite the difference. The beds are soft so, not good if you have back issues. Essentially no lighting in the room, aside from some very dim track lighting and a few dimly lit lamps on either side of the room. I guess I could say it was clean. Looks nice from the outside but poorly constructed building.

The fridge was not clean. A lack of toilet paper in the bathroom. The water pressure in the shower was very poor. There was a constant “air sound” heard when we were sleeping at night. Like wind going through a cave. And this was not coming from the vent. More from the door/hallway. We were excited to stay at this hotel because we were told how nice it was. Sad that it did not come out that way.

I have been staying at this hotel for the last 4 times I’ve visited Iowa and this time was by far the worst. The AC in my room was not working and when I notified the staff all I was told was “well do the best we can to fix it” it was never fixed and I was never offered a new room. I want to continue staying at this hotel because I have had no issues prior to this time but if I can’t get some kind of reimbursement for my money then I will no longer be staying.

The walls are extremely thin, we stayed on the 2nd floor. Heard a guy having a phone conversation I could repeat verbatim… sounded like he was in our room. The baby coos the next morning were cute tho… glad she was happy.
My fiancé thinks he got athletes foot from the shower. The bottles in the shower are refillable but our body wash was good for one person one time and it was gone. I thought the cleanliness was fine but he said paying attention to the details like bodywash make him think they do a quick scan and possibly don’t disinfect well enough.

Great Plan Poorly Presented.

The Courtyard Waterloo is a fantastic engineering and architecture design work with a great history as a repurposed John Deere industrial building. However, here are a few things that made the stay sterile and somewhat 'blah.' It has so much going for it but, and here are the buts: (1) Breakfast ($$$); (2) Parts of the hotel are not clean and well maintained -- e.g., the elevator; (3) rooms are not soundproof, and the walls are paper thin; (4) rooms weren't maintained for the three-day stay (despite asking to freshen up the room). This hotel needs a tighter shift in terms of management, or else it will start losing its edge -- and I think it already is. At $200 per night -- I do think it's worth at least one night stay for the experience
