Where to Stay and What to Do Near Lost Island Waterpark

September 3, 2019

Waterloo, Iowa, is a vibrant little city about 2 hours northeast of Des Moines.

It is home to Lost Island Waterpark, recently named one of the best waterparks in the country! Read all about our visit and be sure to add a visit to your Summer Bucket List!

Special thanks to Experience Waterloo for partnering with us by providing accommodations so that we can share all about our fun experience with you!

 

Where to Stay Near Lost Island Waterpark

We stayed at the Hampton Inn Waterloo Cedar Valley, a wonderful hotel with spacious rooms. It’s close proximity to Lost Island Waterpark was ideal, as well as many restaurants.

 

Our family stayed in a 2 bedroom suite, with very comfortable beds, and a spacious area with a sofa, television, desk, and chair.

 

The bathroom was very large and accommodating!

 

This room also included a microwave, fridge, and extra sink. This was a great space to make our lunches for the day!

 

The lobby was spacious, and the breakfast area offered a variety of seating options, which was open throughout the day and offered a great place to people to work, if needed.

The breakfast was more than your typical hotel breakfast, with amazing smoothies that we all loved!

 

When we look for hotels, we always pick one with an indoor pool, which offers a great place to wind down with the kids after a busy day.

Visit Hampton Inn Waterloo Cedar Valley when planning your next trip to the Waterloo, Cedar Valley area or when you are planning a visit to Lost Island Waterpark!
