The hotel is clean and the staff is friendly, efficient, and always helpful. During my extended stay for business, I was very pleased with this property. It's obvious the people here take pride in what they do.

Hotel was clean and staff accommodating. Bed was hard and springy, like the old 80's Holiday Inn beds. I stayed in 102, which had a spa. Bathroom was the highlight of stay. Spa was clean, hot and relaxing. Biggest disappointment was the breakfast. They offered very little in the way of it. Could have waffle, boiled eggs, cereal. They had... More

Stayed here to attend event at ISU. Looks like they are rehabbing the place. Not bad at all for purpose we stayed. I would not go out of my way to stay here, but I do think it is fine for the purpose we needed, which was to sleep. Be careful using mapquest, though, as their directions sent us into... More

Recently spent a night at this hotel on the outer edge of Ames. Easy to find, right off I-35 at Hwy 30 on the South East side of Ames. Very easy to route yourself to downtown Ames or wherever. This Fairfield is the typical layout, design etc.. Very clean and well run. Room was clean and in great shape. This... More

I stayed two nights at the Fairfield and found the hotel to be just as expected for the chain. The staff was friendly and the rooms were clean and well appointed.

The room was modern. Bed was nice, big, clean. Plenty of pillows. Bathroom roomy and clean. Mini fridge and microwave in the room. A fine, free continental breakfast. Staff friendly. I have zero complaints.

Typical Fairfield Inn for the most part. Maybe even a little nicer. The staff had my package that was delivered a few days before ready to go when I arrived. I was upgraded to a nicer room due to my marriott status without having to mention it, which is uncommon in my experience. The girl at the front desk recommended... More
