The beds were comfortable. My only complaint was the tv didn’t work. We were only there for one night so not too big of deal. May have been nice to have had some type of compensation.

Quiet place for a good night’s sleep
I was on my way through to Missouri and had a quick overnight stop in Ames, IA. I appreciated the large, spacious room with a full kitchen. I had a large cooler of food I was bringing with me, and having a full refrigerator in the room was a godsend. Very quiet and comfortable stay. Thanks for a good night’s rest! Would definitely stay here again.

This hotel is the best one we’ve stayed at in all the years we’ve visited Ames. A fantastic find for our son’s graduation weekend at Iowa State! We booked two rooms which were spacious, comfy, well-appointed suites that incl a kitchenette and sleeper sofa. There was enough room for all of us to gather, have drinks etc. Breakfast was outstanding in comparison to other hotels in the area. Staff was friendly and professional. Super clean. Highly recommended!

Wonderful stay
Loved our stay here. The guy that checked us in was super friendly! We got a 2 bedroom suite which was perfect for our family of six. Breakfast had some great choices! We did t use the pool but we walked in to check it out, super hot in there! My complaint was the low pressure in the shower otherwise what a great stay!!

This location was perfect for a family celebration. The location was easy to get to for family and the outdoor and indoor seating was beautiful. The room was perfect for the family. The staff was very accommodating when there were questions about the reservation.

The hotel was new and clean. Suites were spacious. Beds were comfortable. Breakfast was good with a good variety of foods. The only reason i didn't give it a 5 start was that we were unable to check in at 4pm because only 1 of the 3 rooms had been cleaned. We were on a time crunch so we unloaded everyone into the 1 clean room and came back later.

Nice place terrible front desk service
Check in was poor. No one at counter. Had to walk around to find someone then ended up call the hotel. Then the clerk walked out. He appeared to be under the influence.
