Hotel staff was pleasant enough upon check-in. Lobby smells like fresh paint..they are apparently renovating. Parking was an issue for us because we had a large truck and flatbed trailer. We ended up parking in a lot next door by the Mexican restaurant and Salvation Army. Our room was small but clean. It was right on the side facing the... More

Staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Good location with updated rooms. Hotel was undergoing renovations, but nothing disturbed my stay. Staff very helpful in helping me retrieve an item left behind in my room after check out. Highly recommended and a great value!

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.

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.

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.
