We were so happy to get the pizza and 2 beers for $15 at the mini bar area in the lobby. The pizza was frozen, but it was delicious! I wish they had that kind in MN I would get it again in a second. The next day we were at a brewery in MN and had their in house pizza and frankly, the one at the hotel was soooooo much better! Also the man at the front desk when we arrived was wonderful and also a huge offering of options at the breakfast buffet. Would stay here again anytime!

Very clean, good breakfast, no elevator for 2nd floor, staff wasn’t around desk during the day. It felt like a B&B. 100% full but had no issues with noise. Close to restaurants and stores. About 10 minutes from the college. It’s not a fancy place, but I would stay again.

The staff we encountered were friendly and helpful, especially the young lady working breakfast. Our room was on the 2nd floor and it would have been helpful if there had been an elevator as my husband has mobility issues. Quiet and overall a good place to stay.

Super clean but no elevator so you have to stay on the first floor if you have anything beyond one small bag, which I don’t like for safety reasons. Breakfast is very limited.

We stayed here shortly after the hotel opened and it was great. This time not so much. We were placed on the second floor and asked where the elevator was and the man working pointed down the hall to our left. There was no elevator. He decided to put us on the first floor, but there was water all over from the refrigerator leaking so he put us back up on the 2nd floor. The room was just ok. A bit dirty and the pillows were lumpy. Just an ok experience, nothing more

We didn’t expect the Waldorf. But Room 108 was rundown and shabby. Chunks of countertop facing missing in the bathroom. Multiple, distracting bright spots on the TV screen. A desk chair so uncomfortable, nobody could occupy it for long without a pillow on the back. Fort Dodge isn’t exactly a Mecca for nice hotels, but there must be better places than the Cobblestone

It's clean and staff was courteous, but this hotel is not connected to the local fiber-optic system so they HAD NO TV RECEPTION . So, stuck in a blizzard with only the clothes I was wearing....not happy. Would certainly have stayed somewhere else. So, travelers if it's going to rain or snow stay somewhere else if you want to watch TV.

The room was large and clean. The check in clerk was friendly. Breakfast was typical for a hotel. There were very few people staying there, which at first made me wonder what was wrong with it. But I couldn't find anything wrong with it and would definitely stay there again! It was a great value for the price!

Tried to check in at 10:30 pm. We had a room thro Expedia already booked. There was no one at the desk. Tried calling several numbers with no help. My husband finally found some phone numbers for a manager and owner. Atbout that time a car pulled up, a woman got out and came in and helped us. By then it was 11:30pm!

We love staying here and do whenever we are in the area. They have a little bar where you can have a beer or a glass of wine and a pizza off the lobby. We know whatever time we arrive we won't have to go out and find somewhere open! And the usual terrific full breakfast spread and Seattle's best coffee available around the clock in the lobby. AND they have a computer and printer available off the lobby. A feature many places are removing but it's important to me. Love it!
