Most are located near parks so you can hit the trails early in the morning with little delay.

The Black Hawk Hotel

Why stay at a generic hotel chain when you can stay somewhere that truly reflects the neighborhood? The Black Hawk Hotel is a slice of vintage Cedar Falls. Listed in the October 2006 "Des Moines Register" as one the "top 100 places so unique and wonderful" they deserve a visit, the Black Hawk was also the winner of the 2006 Iowa Architectural Foundation's Community Design Excellence Award. In other words, this hotel has class and loads of charm. It's also conveniently located downtown, and just steps away from hiking trails and Cedar Valley Trails, home of the best biking in Iowa. The trail takes you to George Wyth Memorial State Park and Black Hawk County Park. Choose to stay in a modern "mod" motor lodge, luxurious loft or spacious cottage.
