Hotels near Howards Wood Recreation Area

"Worst toilet seat I've ever sat on in my life. Bed was uncomfortable. Sheets, cover and bedspread were very thin and felt very cheap."

"Very clean, updated. Comfortable bed, staff very friendly. Charles City is a nice small town, right on the Cedar River. Dining nearby. I highly recommend "Pub on the Cedar", and staying at this Super 8...it was great !!"

"Nice place, we got there after a big snow storm, looks like it takes a bit for the snow plowing to get done but it did get done."

"The staff was not helpful. There was one guy who was helpful but not overly friendly. They were more worried about who quit and gossiping in front of customers versus making sure the free breakfast was stocked. The overall Custer service was a major disappointment. If it weren’t for that it would have been a nice stay. Great location in Waverly and lots of things to do within walking distance. Easy parking."

"Rear Door of hotel. did not open. have double doors in front one not useable"

"We love staying here, we stay about twice a year. The hot tub is our favorite. Rooms are always clean and nice. Very quiet."

"My son and I stayed 6 nights in an accessible room. The website mentions that you have to request housekeeping during longer stays, but even when we did, we found the service a bit unpredictable. There was no niche or shelf for toiletries in the shower, which was inconvenient. Of the five staff members I spoke to during the visit, only one graced us with a smile while we were there. The breakfast was ok, but only one day offered scrambled eggs and sausage; the biscuits and gravy on the other days were not as welcome. Fortunately, the waffle maker remained a reliable alternative. My grandsons loved the pool, which helped make up for some of the other shortcomings, and the location was very convenient. Unfortunately, the town is too small to offer any real competition and the place feels like it."
