It was very clean and the staff were very kind and quick to respond to messages. It's a beautiful town in a friendly and safe area. It had a frig, microwave, and coffee maker with a couple water bottles, which was super thoughtful! There is on-site laundry facilities and ice machine.

Check-in was easy because I had received a text earlier in the day with instructions of which room # and parking options, and the door was unlocked with keys inside ready whenever I arrived. This definitely made check-in easy and effortless, but as a woman traveling alone I was uneasy not seeing any staff or knowing where things like ice and nearby restaurants, etc were. And not knowing anything about the area I didn't know if it was safe to venture out and walk around town or even where to go. I could have texted any questions and gotten a response immediately, which was very nice, but had there been an office and a visible person to connect with I would have felt safer.

An older property that is like an old motor court. Parking is available in front of the rooms, and in a few covered garages. The amenities are few, but the rooms are clean and comfortable. Waterloo is an interesting small town, with historical ties to historical figures. The motel is within a few blocks of the quaint downtown streets.

Some visitors used to being pampered at high-end lodgings may miss personal services. It is more a hideaway than a hotel.

I liked that this little place offered everything for a restful place to stay. The air conditioner was on when we arrived and the room was clean and stocked for a night of rest and a refreshing start to the day. Staff is attentive and responds promptly to messages.

The parking situation is limited; they do make it work. It wasn’t an inconvenience either night of our stay but I can see where it could be a problem for others.

Very clean. Appears have been updated with modern furnishings and the bathroom is updated. Quiet area. I could hear music playing a few blocks away in the park, maybe. Easy access. Easy check-in and check out. Nice communication. Laundry available!

I hesitate to say, the parking. They do the best they can with the space they have available. It is a first come basis. I didn't get to park by my room, but it's not so large that it is a long walk by any means.

I liked that the room was ready before check-in and recieved instructions via text on how to access the room without physically checking in at the front desk. Room was very clean and bed was comfortable for a great value. And an awesome location near nightlife in downtown Waterloo which is why we stayed.

There was not a map of the the motel so it did take me a minute to find the ice machine that was located in the laundry room, but not a huge deal.

EVERYTHING was perfect. The owners were wonderful and easy to communicate with. I felt so safe, staying here alone with my children. The place (inside an out) was immaculate! The beds (and bedding) were so comfortable. All communication was via text, which was so easy and convenient. Ended up canceling our big fancy hotel room in St. Louis and bookend another room here for our trip back home, because we had such a great experience the first time around. Price/Value were perfect!

Zero complaints!

The manager came right up as soon as we pulled in and introduced himself and showed us around. Room is new, redone. Peace is very cute, quaint, nice. Waterloo is wonderful to walk around and everything is within a couple blocks of the Sunset.

The only marginal downside was strong smell of cleaners that dissipated, but I have a strong nose.

We really liked the property and how convenient it was to everything!! It was very clean, comfortable, nice, homey and welcoming. It was exactly what we needed. I also loved the fact that The Coffee Girl was within a 500 ft walk!!

The only thing I can think of is that there weren’t any curtains on the bedroom window.

Located in the middle of downtown in the charming town of Waterloo. This little motel is funky good. A one-of-a-kind gem that will remind senior travelers of the motor courts of the 40s and 50s, but updated for modern tastes and amenities. Park your car right next to your door or in a covered garage.

There was no trash can in my unit, but trash bins outside just steps away.

Quaint hotel with a sense of history to it. Our room was clean and updated. It was just enough for my husband and myself, and had all we needed for a comfortable nights stay.

Just know to bring a little something to eat in the morning. I like something to eat and some coffee as soon as I wake up. Maybe something simple like a muffin basket in the room would be a nice touch.
