We just stayed here last weekend. Checked in rather late and got attitude from the lady at the desk. The double room was small and smelled like sewage had backed up. The beds were smaller than our full bed at home. Really unpleasant. More

I have had a very negative experience with this hotel: I made reservations over the phone 3 months in advance (at that time it was the ONLY hotel with available rooms for that weekend--minimum 2 night stay since it is a home Cyclones football weekend) and never received a confirmation e-mail as stated that I would. I remember being told... More

Non-smoking room that smelled like the bottom of an ash tray. Side door to hotel not at all secure, unless duct tape counts. Cramped parking lot with very narrow parking stalls. Continental breakfast was a joke. More

This hotel is a little rough around the edges but clean, safe and well equipped. The whole building is a bit cramped, rooms, hallways, lobby and especially the breakfast area is small. Everything in the room worked, microwave, fridge, bed wasn't uncomfortable. Desk didn't have any unused power outlets so I had to unplug things to use computer and phone... More

This was and enjoyable place to stay and in a very good location that seemed central to everything we needed. There is shopping, restaurants and entertainment actually within walking distance. The venues we needed to get to were only a short, 10 minute or less drive. I would recommend it for anyone staying in Ames. More

The only room left when we checked in at 3:30 pm on june... More

Staff were extremely accommodating and also suggested a an excellent restaurant nearby. The room was very clean. The location was near the downtown and the main... More

The hotel rooms were not very clean and then I found bed bugs. Not good. I would not advise anyone to stay at this hotel and I will never stay in it again. I recommend going to one of the hotels along Highway 30. They are cheaper, cleaner, and result in less swelling and/or itching. More

We apologize for your stay and thank you for your concern. Our pest control service came to the property the same day, found no bugs and still treated the room completely. We had them inspect every room on the property as well and they found no bugs. Future guests at this property can rest assured that this was an isolated... More
