Great choice in Ames
This has been my go to hotel choice for Ames while my kid has been a student at ISU. Service is quick & friendly. Rooms are always clean. Beds are comfy. Workout room and pool areas are great. And the breakfast is always good. Highly recommend.

Clean quiet room. Good hot breakfast with a nice variety of foods. Two minor negatives were a slightly uncomfortable bed and onky one towel left when we went to the pool. Desk never brought more. They might have been short-staffed with regard to not having ckean ones in time. Overall, we would stay again.

3 stars all the way around. Nothing to complain about really. Perfect for a sleep breakfast and hit the road. On par with most other generic hotels by near ISU.

Liked: Cleanliness
The hotel was clean and the staff was nice. However, the night before check out, we noticed a water leak from the ceiling on the 1st floor. The next morning, when we got up and went to take a show, there was no water. The provided no warning they were turning the water off to fix the leak. The leak of course was not their fault. They should have communicated to people staying that they were going to be turning the water off to fix the problem. My daughter was in the shower and the water went off and she had shampoo in her hair. They should have warned people so that you could have either not showered or got it done before the water went off.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We had to wait for quite a while to check in because they're wasn't staff to check us in, even after we rang for them twice. The elevator had a clicking noise and was a little concerning. The pool was so cold we could only get in halfway and the hot tub was so incredibly hot that we couldn't sit in there either. There were other guests in the pool area that were sitting at the tables and told us they felt the same way. Paint was noticeably peeling in the bathroom and our toilet kept running. My husband had to take the lid off to jiggle the flap to get it to stop. Breakfast was on the cold side, and they were out of, or running out of food while there was still half an hour left.

SMOKY!! Ugh!!
Every room smelled of cigarettes and we moved twice and they had all of their outside designated smoking areas right where people enter/exit the buildings. This was supposed to be a nonsmoking hotel! Also, every trash was overflowing and construction men walked by my window at 0700!
