I was here for a quick stay and the staff was very friendly and it was a clean room to stay in
Ben, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice room, not hot water
The web description says that they offer breakfast, but that is false. I checked 2 days, and basically nothing there. Room was recently renovated and clean. Sink had hot water, but shower had very low water volume, and was about half cold and half hot, so taking a shower was uncomfortable and I did it as quickly as possible to avoid shivering.

Met expections for the price
The room was clean but laced basic amenities like cups in the room or an alarm clock. I was staying by myself and the room met my expectations for the price. The room was noisy as it was only a sidewalk distance away from a busy street.

Room was spacious and bed was comfortable
Mary, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The rooms were clean and beds were very comfortable. The person at checkin seemed exhausted (I arrived @ 11pm) yet extremely pleasant and helpful. I recommend.

Don’t judge a book by its cover
The outside of the building could use a refresh but the rooms were newly remodeled and clean. The staff was very nice and helpful.

10/10 Exceptional

I was pleasantly surprised on initial cleanliness of the room and updated decor. The location is very convenient to campus. If’s pretty close to self service though. The front desk is rarely staffed and they don’t clean the rooms during stays, just between stays. Hotel amenities are basic but I wasn’t there for much time. In room refrigerator does not have a freezer so couldn’t keep cooler packs frozen for tailgate. Parking lot was super tight. All rooms in Ames are overpriced on game weekends. This hotel isn’t worth $240/night any other time.

Everything is good but dont expect a good breakfast.

Customer Service
Customer Service was not good. Never had to ever put down a deposit. Then she had an attitude when checking us in.
Lamain, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Deborah was awesome! Rooms were nice and clean, comfy bed/pillows. They seemed like they were recently remodeled and nice. AC unit old and very noisy and inefficient. Overpriced for the quality and location on very noisy and busy street. Property not well maintained and trash and weeds all around the property. Breakfast was a joke-looked like they ran to a local convenience store to grab something. Need to update and upgrade the breakfast.

Overnight stay
Wr stayed here to sleep - late night arrival for an overnight rest before family gathering preceding funeral. Inexpensive and close to destination were criteria for choice. We chose 2 separate single rooms. Clean and comfortable beds were nice. Since both of our rooms were "adjoining" another room with unknown occupants, the arrangement was slightly unusual. My experience of waking at 4 am to very loud screaming turned out to be a horror movie playing at full volume in the adjoining room. So goes the learning curve...note to self - make sure adjoining room is occupied by the rest of my travel group!

2/10 Poor

Worst hotel in Ames
Smelly, dingy, poorly maintained and old hotel. Expired pastries served at breakfast. Poor housekeeping. Rude front desk.
