I always like staying at the Gateway in Ames. However to be honest I feel the decor has not changed For many years and is need of an update. The hallways seem to have a bad odor. The location is great being close to the University.
It actually had a working hot tub and pool! The fitness ceneter was huge too!
Close to where I needed to be. Been there before. Recommend to everybody.
The only thing that was lacking was there was no microwave oven in the room
Enjoyed the stay. Everything at the hotel operated smoothly and friendly.
Love the coffee in the Lobby. Comfy beds. Easy check in.
Place rundown needs updating there is tape on carpet
Super friendly staff. Super clean. And excellent food at the restaurant
The stay was very enjoyable. I am most happy with the service. The hotel was Clean and close to college. That was a plus!!! Although the weight room was small the other amenities such as pool, restaurant, etc... was enjoyable.
Wifi didn’t work. Room was dirty. Room was run down.
Was a beautiful stay and loved the restaurant. Breakfast buffet was a super nice touch.
The Gateway is a clean hotel and convenient to campus
overall stay was pleasant however, rooms did not have mini fridge and no microwave. also ice machine was on different floor than rooms. However the staff went out of their way to get us two adjoining rooms and checked us in early despite being fully booked the previous day.
