I recently had a 2 day stay at this hotel. I looked up the review on tripadvisor and found it to be alright. There was a special on their website where if you book in advance you get 15% off. So I booked a smoking room 2 WEEKS in advance online and recieved a confirmation email stating what type of... More

We spent 1 night here on our vacation. The room was very clean and comfortable. We stayed in a handicapped room with walk in shower. The only thing I can fault them on was the shower chair which was rickity and wobbley. Luckily we had our own shower chair. Nice quiet place to stay and we felt safe.

A fine place to stay for a cheap-ish evening. Wouldn't want a long-term stay. Comfortable enough bed and clean. Breakfast in the morning was gravy & biscuits, cold hard-boiled eggs, cereal, bagels/muffins/etc, in the lobby. A bit more than a continental breakfast, I guess, it was fine. The TV only seemed to have 28 channels, which didn't include some of... More

For the money, this is a great place to stay. If you want a comfortable bed, try somewhere else. Screen in room was ripped, big stain on the only chair in the room. Staff was mediocre in friendliness.

This is very nice motel, almost always booked, so I would recommend making reservations in advance.

My family has stayed at this hotel in the past and we felt comfortable booking it again when the weather forced us to stop traveling for the day. The room is small but comfortable and clean. The staff is friendly and helpful. The breakfast wasn't anything fancy, but it was sufficient for our needs. We got a great rate and... More

Upon staying here this past weekend, I have noticed a change. It appears that this hotel is starting to show signs of going downhill.... This is a shame, as it is a fairly new facility!! As ISU parents, we have stayed here a handful of times over the past 3 years. However this was the first time where the carpets... More

I stayed here recently on a business trip. I needed someplace inexpensive and near the University's campus. I was very pleasantly surprised! The lobby was cozy with a Christmas tree and a fire going in the fire place when we walked in on a cold evening. There was free wireless. My room was newly updated, clean, fresh and cozy. For...

Woke up in the morning with bite marks covering both legs. Upon closer inspection of the bed linens I noticed fleas were in the bed. Also discovered fleas in other areas of the room and bathroom. I assume that it came from somebody who brought their dog into the room and it wasn't cleaned properly after they left. I notified... More

It concerns me to hear about the recent discomfort that you experienced. We strive to make all of our guests happy, but sometimes in doing so we are able to accommodate one and not another. The Microtel Inn & Suites in Ames is a pet friendly facility. In the past we haven't had any problems with allowing pets in our... More
