quiet and friendly staff

The holiday inn was very nice and comfortable. The pool area looked larger on the computer than it really is. I was a little disappointed. The room was very nice, but the bathroom shower had a slow stream of water that it was hard to wash my hair. I porbably would not stay there again for that reason. Didn't feel refreshed after a shower. Barely got wet, I think they are conserving water, but they really need to look into that. I think that is a big minus. Other than that it was a nice place to stay. Our son leaves in Ames so will be checking other hotels in the future.

close to campus

We were going to ISU in Ames the hotel is close to the campus, it is away from the city. The city is a easy drive if you want to get to Ames.

Disappointed

[...] I specifically requested, and confirmed, 2 Queen size beds. I was issued a King size bed and the world's worst hide-a-bed. [...]
