The location is great with several dining options nearby. Walkable if you do not have a car. Room was clean and towels were changed everyday. Separate seating and dining area in the room made the stay quite comfortable. Did not have a need to use the kitchenette. Tea/coffee, juices was available 24/7 in the breakfast area.

Breakfast spread was limited and for vegetarians like me, availability of prefer fresh fruits would have been good. I could anyway purchase fresh fruits at Walmart nearby. The shower pressure was quite high and there was no option to reduce it.

The hotel is very nice and right in the center of restaurants and shopping centers. The room was great and had a small kitchen. It did come with a good amount of things you would need to use. Like plates, cups, and cooking pans.

The only negative thing I can say is that the shower water pressure was not great or even good. The shower curtain, however cute, was hung oddly at an angle and wouldn't stay shut to cover whoever was showering and water got all over the floor.

More than other places around the area. Fresh and plenty of sugar. Stuff wasn't leftover from years past like other places around the area. When the milk ran out, they got more. Great place. We'll certainly be back.

Some things were missing from the room, but only since they were so accommodating to give us the same room we had before for our comfort. They later provided the missing items w/ extra towels. Love this place.

It was warm and inviting. I liked that shopping was right across the street and Earl May too. TJMaxx, Old Navy and a lot of other stores. The employees were friendly. I liked they had pool and hot tub.

The coffee. There was a scooters real close so that was nice. I could have brought my coffee pot if I wanted. I didn’t but they had black tea so that was nice. The hot tub had sand in the bottom so needed to be cleaned out.

The price, the cleanliness And location.

I did not have a complimentary breakfast at all. The first morning, I was there. And the vending machine robbed me of at least $5 when trying to get. Help for that. There was nobody to locate to refund me in my money. So I was out the $5 due to their vending machines as well.

It was clean and the room was great for the price! Staff was nice and helpful. It was pretty quiet and low key.

I was bummed about the hot tub currently being closed, as we were looking forward to that after a long day.

I was blown away by the amenities that came with the room. Full fridge, stove, dishes, and very clean. I will definitely recommend anyone traveling to Ames to stay here!

I have no complaints at all. Staff was very professional and kind and the perks of staying here were amazing.

The hotel was nice and clean, rooms were great size. Staff was great about answering questions. Good breakfast.

We had a room with a sofa bed and couldn't find extra bedding for it. I'm sure had we asked they would have brought us some. But we brought our own extra blankets and pillows. Also room to sleep 4 only had 2 big towls.

I really enjoyed the two bedroom suite so that my coworker and I could have separate rooms. It was a nice last minute stay due to a snowstorm keeping us in town. You can walk through the hotel to the Old Chicago restaurant which was handy with the cold weather. The young man checking me in was super friendly. Breakfast was pretty standard but you do have a blueberry option for waffles which was fun.

Unfortunately the hot tub was not working. Stairways needed a vacuum but the rooms were clean. In the hallway to get to the Old Chicago restaurant the lights weren’t working so it was a little dark and a tad confusing if we were suppose to actually go that way.

The room was more than I expected. All rooms are mini suites with a fridge, oven, microwave and a separate bedroom. Close to lots of dining and fast food.

The bathroom smelled a little off but i think it was the water. I just kept the door closed. The TV in the bedroom didn't work so I used the Wifi on my tablet
