Great for business trip!

We had a great stay with Ramada being it was a very, very stressful time for us. they have places to eat all over near there. The staff was great, all was very nice. If I ever had to go to Waterloo, Ia again I would use the Ramada for sure. I can't see how they could make the stay any more comfortable then it was. Thank you Orbitz and Ramada.

Very Good

Stayed two nights while in town for a wedding. The weather was muggy, but the air conditioner was on in our room prior to our arrival. The staff was friendly. They had a shuttle to take us to the mall or the wedding reception. The one bad thing was that parking was in a public lot across from the hotel. We had our ticket validated, but using it would not raise the gate when trying to leave the ramp.

About a block from the hotel was an Italian restaurant called the Brown Bottle. Good food and lots of it.

Went to waterloo for a surprise B-Day party for my best friend. Had a great time. The hotel shuttle dropped us off at the party, so we did not have to drive to or from the location. Had a lite snack at the rest. was good and reasonable. Staff was very pleasant and efficeint.

just right

My husband and I were in town to see our new grandchild. Ramada was just right for relaxing after the excitement of welcoming the new baby and not wanting to wear out our welcome. We tried some new restaurants nearby and the hot tub and pool area was clean and well monitored. The whole stay was just right including the helpful staff from the front desk to the concierge. When my husband went to get a snack, the wait staff in the restaurant even helped by telling us the wing sauce was spicy and that we might want it on the side. We will always remember our stay.

There are many fine restaurants right across the bridge from the hotel and although we didn't get to shop, we would like to next time.
