A night in Ames

Good moderately priced room. Well located. Easy to get to. Clean enough. Wash clothes were great, towels a little thin. Breakfast was skimpy, biscuits and gravy were the only warm item.

weekend meeting

The hotel is reasonably priced, clean and at a good location. It is an easy walk to Main Street, but not really walking distance to ISU.

nice for the price

the hotel is near shopping and many restaurants and not terribly far for Iowa State U. the room was a decent size and was clean. It was nothing fancy, but for the great price, you can't expect fancy! Great for adults or older children, but not much going on for small children.

Quick one night stay. Staff was very pleasant. Walls are thin, it was kind of noisy.

Great homecoming stay

This might be (at least one of) the best located hotel at the town of Ames, especially when you travel without a car. It's about 2 mins walk to Cyride. And there're a bunch of dinning and shopping place within 5 mins walk. The rooms are clean and I did not notice the uncomfortable odors mentioned in some previous reviews. The staffs are helpful. And the price is reasonable. It seems I only got soaps for washing and bathing. Maybe they should consider providing shampoo in the restroom next time.

place to stay in Ames

Up in Ames just for the day. This hotel had everything that I expected for the value. Good location right by target and close to campus. The TVs are a little small and they are double beds not queen. But overall everything was nice and it was easy to check in and out.
