During my stay the Suite I booked was very clean and house keeping was great and respectful with my stuff i had in the room as I booked for multiple days. They knew what to throw away and what I might want to keep I was impressed when I came back to the room as I was in a hurry in the morning to get somewhere and left it a bit disorganized but I came back to an excellent cleaned room and my luggage and belongings unbothered. I also like that it is close by a place for night activities "Perfect Games" it's a very fun arcade place for all ages with bowling this was perfect. Thanks for the great service and having me stay at your hotel during my stay in Ames.
