Ames, Iowa
We stopped on our way heading south. It was a nice room. Had plenty of space to spread after a long day in the car. Did not use any of the facilities, but they were available. My only suggestion would be to have a better coffee selection for you. Their coffee kinda sucks. I like cleanliness and this place passes my test. I would stay here again.

Nice staff & Clean
Nice, clean hotel, very friendly & welcoming staff. Beds weren't overly comfortable. Would've been nice to know that it was under construction, I believe that should be disclosed when booking. I think it was a high demand weekend & prices were high.

Hotel was in very good condition. We were in town for the Boone Supernationals, which run late into the night, and we would not normally leave for the day until 1pm. Only complaint was that we did not get houskeeping services for the entire 6 days we were there. The one day I asked if we could get clean sheets and towels, housekeeping was gone, so I said to make sure they came the next day, and they did not. That's my only complaint. Otherwisse, good overall experience.

Stayed in room 201. Got bedbugs-they got an exterminator who also validated the bedbugs, and I was able to change rooms- no other compensation offered. Tried to leave a day early and they would not refund my money for the night I wasn’t staying.

I didn't like how loud the heat/ac units are in the bedrooms when it turned on. If you are sensitive to noise while sleeping you must where ear plugs. I have seen a SpringHill Suites in Tennessee provide earplugs for guests on bedside tables. I would suggest the same to Ames TownePlace Suites. Other than the noise from the wall unit in the bedroom, I thought the hotel was very comfortable. I would stay again.
