We stopped here for one night traveling through Iowa back home. Easy access right off 35 and right next to gas station. Super clean and nice facilities. Small pool, but clean. Great breakfast options. Comfy beds. Ames was a nice town with lots of food options. Would definitely stay here again!

3.0 / 10.0
Staff providing the breakfast was friendly and attentive to guest's needs. We had a change in the number of our guests 24 hours before arrival and the hotel would not accommodate our request to adjust to 1 room instead of 2. I would encourage you to re-consider with future guests needing this accommodation.

The sheets on one of the beds had a brown stain. And when we woke up in the morning we found out our bathroom had no running water in the shower. Waited 20 min to find out they had no maintenance person to fix the issue so we had to get keys to another room to shower.

Very nice stay. Clean, comfortable, everything went smoothly. Needed extra towels- no problem!
10.0 / 10.0
Pros: best breakfast options we’ve ever had at a hotel, clean pool, great pillows, clean rooms, friendly staff, quiet hallways, lighted parking lot, easy access into Ames.
Cons: really pricey to stay, not the most comfortable mattresses, loud pool area, and prepare yourself that people in the dining area can watch you swim through windows adjoining the two rooms
Overall: great for our family of 5, but I didn’t realize the steep price when I booked. (My oversight. It was over $500 for only 2 nights. From prior stays in the area, I’ve been at comparable places for $150-$200 less.). We would definitely return when we visit family, but the price will have us going elsewhere. The staff was excellent though.

As a diamond member, I should have been given a room on a high floor away from the elevator. I was given a room right next to the elevator and the lobby. There was constant yelling and activity in the lobby that kept me up all night.
