This was a good value for money property. The breakfasts were good enough and the rooms were spacious and well appointed. Can't find anything really wrong with it. Staff were helpful and responsive. I'd stay there again if in Ames. More

I would first like to say that the level of service that I received from the front desk clerk, Jessica, and general manager, Gary, was absolutely outstanding!! We had two adults and two small kids for this visit. I was pretty disappointed with the size of the rooms as we couldn't even fit a small airbed on the ground for... More

Only thing that I would say that was a negative was that there was not a printer by the business center for me to print some forms off. Very clean hotels with very nice staff and a great location right off U.S. Highway 30 near I-35. More

The greet staff are friendly and the warmth from the fireplace in the small lobby is very welcoming. Our suite was tastefully decorated and we appreciated the layout of the room. It felt spacious and we felt at home when we invited friends over for coffee in the evening. We were in Ames for a wedding at the ISU campanile... More

Let's start off with the location. This is Ames, Iowa, so there are no upscale choices. The hotel is conveniently located just off the highway, clustered with several other National brand hotels. We had a suite overlooking a corn field, which is much cooler then it sounds! The room was decent sized, has a fold out couch and two TV's.... More

I was thrilled to discover I wasn't in one of the usual places I stay when in Ames. This was new, clean, comfy, spacious, and the staff was great. Not walking distance but a straight shot to NVSL and lots of restaurants. More

Nice and clean. No compliants. Don't use the issac Newton part of the address for GPS. Just use the SE 16th portion. Close to university withoiut being too close. Be careful with the gas station several of us realized we were overcharged for fuel by .20. More

Staff is always friendly. Rooms are clean and what you expect at a Fairfield. No room service, but a couple of fast food places nearby (walking distance) - Subway, burger place, and Kum-n-Go gas station convenience store. Breakfast is ok, although heavy on the cheese/meat side. Was here for work and it is very convenient to where I had to... More

We had 3 rooms at this property. We travel to Ames frequently but this was our first time at the Fairfield Inn. I found the hotel to be very clean. The area around the pool was cleaned; towels picked up, etc. The hot tub had a bit of "discoloration/film" on top which I found a bit disturbing. It was nice... More

Visiting ISU with my daughter. A little pricier than other hotels in the area but I think worth it. Seemed very new, squeaky clean, reception staff very professional - no problems but if there were I think they would have been on it right away. Marriott affiliation gives it a bit more class. Pool area nice although didn't use. Rooms... More
