10/10 Exceptional

Very nice accomodations for a very nice price
The rooms were great, 2 TV's worked well for March Madness. I was surprised by the flourescent light bulbs as LED's would save them money and help the environment.

Great place especially for the price!

1-night trip

6/10 Good

We checked in at 9:30 pm and the breakfast area had not been cleaned up from that morning and there was a pan of scrambled eggs still sitting there! Hot tub wasn’t working, our bathroom had water damage on walls, and the kitchenette in our room had no dishes or cookware.

Wonderful staff
Weather caused us to miss our stay, but they were very accommodating to help us donate our stay to the local emergency housing shelter.

10/10 Exceptional

Wonderful Stay
The stay was wonderful. The breakfast was excellent. Room was very clean and spacious. The one thing I will point out, and this is getting to seem typical at hotels, the toilets are very low to the floor. So, if you are a tall person or someone with bad knees, you will feel like you are on a child's toilet. The hotel is located in a very nice, safe, area with many food options within walking distance.
Jason, 1-night trip

Terrible Stay
The worst stay I have ever had at a hotel, the clerk was extremely rude, the hot tub was not working and the pool was filthy.

Brian, 1-night trip

Marie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Room quality Great. Air quality needs improvement
The amenities were great. I had a one bedroom one queen suite. Very nice. The only issue we had was the air comfort. During the night hours, the air got so dry.
Cathy, 1-night trip

Great
Clean quiet and comfortable
Elizabeth, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

Would not stay again
Would not stay again. The hotel in general was not kept up well. Work done cheaply and things that need fixing. Just one example-our closet door was broken off its hinge. Not super clean. Vent was caked with dust. Bathroom had dirt and dust. It was SO hot in our room. Heat was off but it was still 79 degrees. Breakfast was lacking-eggs and sausage were empty. No milk for the cereal. Coffee was terrible. No staff replenishing anything. No front desk worker either. Lots of options in Ames for around this price-I only choose because it was different and thought it would be nice to try. Never again.
