Super 8 by Wyndham Cedar Falls IA - University

8/10 Good

"For the most part the overall comfort staying here was good, the only draw backs were we only went to breakfast one morning due to the fact that the only thing hot was the coffee! The scrambled eggs, sausage, and gravy were same as cold! The biscuits for the biscuits and gravy were so dried out that no amount of gravy would make the enjoyable! The other drawback was that if you did need something from the staff you had to wait do to tha fact that the same person at the front desk was also the person trying to tend to the breakfast details!"
